 How to reward yourself for studies


 Procrastination has become a habit of me. I know I have been procrastinating on pretty much everything in my life but can't do anything . It starts to torment me .First I did not realize but then it become so hard for me to overcome.This starts to reflect itself in my grades too. My grades were falling and I was helpless.

Staying away from distractions during studies was a most difficult task for me .Many parents advice me to watch motivational  videos  in Youtube but it did not work for me because after two or three videos I ends up watching something else. But this is also good in a certain way for I starts to think about some other ways to get into my studies again .

One day I was lying in my bed as I usually do and an idea came to my mind -“ Can studies be like a treasure hunt ? ”Why not to reward myself whenever I accomplish my already planned goals. You might be wondering “What she is talking about ?” Am I right?It is like treating yourself for the good things you have done .It compels our brain to realize that studies can  also be interesting . Its good to reward ourselves after something we have worked hard on. This encourages us to make that extra effort so that when we do indulge, it will feel so much more rewarding. That’s why I always think of ways to reward myself for studying.

Here I have listed some of them .I use them according to my schedule. Before using them make sure that they are just rewards and our studies are prior to them. 


1. Watch your favourite show

2. Work out

3. Play a video game

4. Go meet a friend for lunch or coffee

Study Tips      Study is an important part of our life and when it gets organized and planned, it becomes more fruitful. Studying can be tiresome , specially when you are under a lot of pressure. Here are some useful tips for you to study better: Ø   STUDY FOR 30 MINUTES AT A TIME :     Uninterrupted study sessions of half hour are a must. Have multiple sessions of 30 minutes rather than 1 session of 2 hours! Our brain can easily retain information from the first and the last 15 minute of studying. This means that whatever you read in between will likely be forgetten.So in order to make into our long term memory, we must study only for 30 minutes at a time. Studying hours and hours will be like spending a whole day searching a grain from bushes and at the end of the day, it will be of no use! Ø   TAKE  A BREAK :                          ...
