Time to study
Establishing your most effective study time will
allow you to make the most of your available
time. Studies have shown that for most people
the morning works best, but take the time to
figure out your own pattern.

Stay productive
There are a few free applications available
(including Self Control and Anti-Social) that
can block out social media while you are
studying. Take advantage of other free software
like Dropbox, Trello, Evernote and Wunderlist
to assist in the management of your studies.
Libraries are a great place to study as they are
quiet places that don’t distract and motivate
because everyone else is studying too.

Recharge
Staying fit and healthy is important not just for
your overall life but for helping maintain focus
on your studies. Take advantage of the large
breaks between semesters to recharge. A trip
away, whether in Australia or overseas, is a great
way to do this.
