🌼The Golden Rule Of Studying(Highly RECOMMENDED)
If you study for a hundred hours more than you used to, you will get better grades.
This is not going to be true 100% of the time when compared to others, but over the course of multiple classes, exams and years, it will come true, especially when you compare against where you could have been.
You are always studying for yourself and trying to be better than your past self.
Do not look to others to create the standard but to your personal life goals.

If not, then sit down and study some more.
It does not matter how effective you are, how good you are at studying or how much you actually learn. Just the act of sitting down and doing it does so much for your mindset.
When you get into the habit of studying, regardless of how you feel, you put studying at the top of your priority list.
Over time you will get better at studying (for as you spend time doing it you naturally practice), but will also get off the idea to achieve anything in particular, which will make it a lot easier to sit down tomorrow and study some more.
Many students are resisting the act of studying.
They do not want to do it and get in their head.
They procrastinate to avoid studying altogether, and end up crunching their time much later.
To prevent this you have to make studying an easy-to-approach, low-risk, action that you just do; kind of like brushing your teeth.
When you “Just do it” it will create that change with time.
Stop getting in your own head. Stop trying to achieve so much. For now, just sit down and study.
That is the golden rule, but there are a few other pointers that I have for you that might be very helpful:
Never Treat Classes As The ‘One-All-Be-All’ — The classes you visit are a place for you to review what you learned on your own beforehand. They will not give you all the information and thinking about it this way only leads to laziness.
Study Daily — Every day do a little bit. Start off right away when you get into the course or decide to study something and do something regardless of the day. Even if it is just 5 minutes.
Always Be Straight-Forward And Honest With Yourself —
Either you know the content or you don’t. Either you can learn on your own or you can’t. Either you do not need help or you do. Be honest and direct with yourself and accurately address what it is you need to do. And be humble enough to ask for help when you need it.
Take Effective Breaks —
You do not need a 2-hour lunch break and that movie is not helping you study. Be honest enough with yourself to take breaks that actually recharge you.
Keep Reflecting —
You will never be able to be honest with yourself if you never look at what works and what doesn’t. Figure out what time of the day works best for you, how you can get most excited about things, and how you study best. Test out different things, reflect on them, and adjust as often as you need to to create an amazing study routine.

Keep The Big Picture In Mind —
Your studying does take priority at times. No, that means you cannot go out with your friends. But other times you will have studied too much. And yes, that means you should go out with your friends. Make sure you know what means the most to you and keep your priorities in line, else you will sacrifice more than you wanted to along the way.
