How to build a study routine that works at home

A study routine makes the difference between inconsistent cramming and consistent progress. Here is how to build one.

Same time, same place

The brain responds to cues. Study at the same desk at the same time each day and you will find it easier to focus every time. The routine itself becomes the trigger for concentration.

Plan the week on Sunday

Use our free study timetable to block out sessions for each subject at the start of the week. Unplanned study time usually does not happen.

The Pomodoro method

25 minutes of focused work, then a 5-minute break, four times, then a longer break. It prevents the fatigue of marathon sessions and the procrastination of unstructured time.

Track the homework

Use a homework planner to write down every assignment as it is set, with the due date. Never rely on memory for what is due.
