I have found throughout my time at the Ohio State University that how way you study can drastically impact your ability to study. Below is a list of my favorite study habits.
- Surround yourself in an environment that promotes studying while also discouraging slacking
- My favorite building to study in is Prior Hall, I love the building because it is frequented by the medical staff and students. All of whom do not have time to dawdle in their work.
- Disconnect your phone from the outside world.
- My favorite technique is to study with a group and have everyone perform a “phone swap”. You may only get your phone back from someone if you explain why you need it.
- Spend 30 minutes on a class and then cycle to a new one.
- Rather than get bogged down with a 2 or three hour long session into just one class, take the time to study for your other classes, even if you have no work to do use it to refresh.
