During this\nunprecedented time, we\u2019ve all found ourselves homebound for weeks and even\nmonths at a time and this has forced us to learn to do, otherwise mundane and\neveryday things, in a brand-new manner. Studying is no exception. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it is,\nmost of us find studying to be a difficult task. Once upon a time, we could\nstill force ourselves to get into the groove by going to the library or\nplanning study groups and such. Being surrounded by people who were studying\nwould be motivation enough for us to start. But the pandemic has ensured that\nwe can\u2019t even do that. Which is why, what was already a difficult task to do\nhas become even more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, how can\none mange to study during the pandemic? Here are a few tips and tricks that\nhave worked for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The first thing is to try and<strong>\nlook at the positive side<\/strong> of being stuck at home. Sure, that\u2019s easier said\nthan done, but it isn\u2019t impossible. One positive is that at least being stuck\nat home means there are far less distractions than before. Parties, dinners,\nget togethers are all not happening and so you don\u2019t have an excuse to put off\nstudying. Now you don\u2019t have to make the difficult choice of finishing that\nchapter or missing out on a fun night. You\u2019ll be able to get more done.<\/li><li><strong>Creating your study space<\/strong> is also very important. If you have\na study desk in your room, that\u2019s ideal. Make sure to remove any unnecessary\nstuff off the table and make space for your books, notebooks, and laptop. If\nyou don\u2019t have a study table, then find a nice comfortable spot to sit in. Make\nsure that the desk and table are at level to avoid backaches. Make sure the\nstudy space is away from distractions such as the television, the main door or\neven the kitchen! Also try to keep this space organized so that your notes and\nbooks aren\u2019t misplaced. This is especially important if you live in a shared\nspace.<\/li><li><strong>Communicate <\/strong>to others at home what your schedule\nis. If you live in a shared space, make sure that everyone knows that you\u2019re\nsitting down to study and that you shouldn\u2019t be disturbed unless its an\nemergency. Your roommates can also help you keep on track with your studies.\nTell them if they catch you wasting time, they should remind you to stay on\nschedule.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I personally used these tricks to get into the mood to study. Another important tip is to give yourself credit too. This situation is entirely new to you and there are no guidelines on how to cope. Give yourself time to adjust and if for the first few days, things don\u2019t go as planned, don\u2019t give up. With time you\u2019ll learn how to study in this new kind of normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let me know if you have any questions at sohaib.ahmed@student.hanken.fi! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Corona has, without a doubt, managed to turn the world upside down.
