studying every second of everyday is literally going to get you no where. you HAVE to take breaks to let your brain process, and constantly burning yourself out by taking no ACTUAL breaks does not make you a good student

this sounds insane but this is all that works for me: i have a work focus on my phone that basically bricks it other than calls and school related apps. i then put my phone as far from me as i can. i turn off my lights, blast study music into my headphones (i use lofi), wear a hoodie with the hood up and tied tight around my face, put on my blue light glasses, and study without looking at the time. its like a form of sensory deprivation that forces me to only use my eyes.

having a water bottle nearby and some light snacks also prevents excessive excuses to stop studying. setting a however many hours timer can keep you from losing track of time and burning out. like i said, it’s crazy, but desperate times called for desperate measures
