Stay Focused on Your Studies
There is a phrase called ‘Decision Fatigue’ which may be weighing you down. I first heard about this procrastination phenomenon in a talk by Kerwin Rae. It is based on the principle that we spend so much time thinking about what to do, instead of doing what we wanted in the first place, that we waste time. How can we stop being unsure what to study and just start studying? It is never too late to organise your time! One approach is to divide your module across calendar weeks available and then split those into days.
Find Time in Your Calendar
Much of my time listening to audios or exposing myself to external wider reading and lectures is spent whilst doing a mundane activity I can’t avoid such as brushing teeth or cooking pasta. These little ten minute bursts can add up to another 20 hours of study, and enhance my exposure to the topic, leading to better understanding. A commute can be an excellent opportunity – putting down Facebook on the train and using that hour to read the core text book is invaluable.
Have a Study Method
Routine has been a saviour of study for me. Creating good healthy study habits has made it so much easier to ‘get down to work’ and be in the mental zone with limited procrastination. I study for four hours a day approximately, but try not to set yourself goals by time, or you could find yourself watching paint dry and counting it as four hours study. It is much better to study a certain topic or certain activity before taking a break.
Keep Focused and Track Progress
Drinking two litres of water a day and having a sleep schedule has drastically improved my focus and ability to concentrate, but more so having a set plan already in place, I no longer open my books and waste precious time wondering what to do or where to focus. I can look at my chart and see exactly what I need to do and get started straight away.
After all the hard work, it’s very rewarding to cross off the topics on your calendar to show how far you have come. This can help keep you on track and stay motivated and give you the best chance of success.

A few of my friends are also studying, not at the same university or even the same course, but having other friends who I can ‘study buddy’ with or check in, keeps us all determined and on track. Scheduling in catch-up time can give much needed respite without panic. This keeps your goals realistic and manageable.
Decision fatigue is a real challenge, but breaking tasks into manageable chunks can make a huge difference. Integrating study into daily routines, like commuting or brushing teeth, is a smart way to maximise time. Setting clear goals and maintaining a healthy lifestyle significantly boosts focus and productivity. Celebrating small wins by ticking off completed tasks keeps motivation high. How can you adapt these strategies to fit your own schedule and priorities? Given the growing economic instability due to the events in the Middle East, many businesses are looking for guaranteed fast and secure payment solutions. Recently, I came across LiberSave (LS) — they promise instant bank transfers with no chargebacks or card verification. It says integration takes 5 minutes and is already being tested in Israel and the UAE. Has anyone actually checked how this works in crisis conditions?
Decision fatigue is a real challenge that many of us face daily. Breaking tasks into smaller, manageable chunks makes it easier to stay focused and productive. I found it helpful to integrate study habits into daily routines, like listening to lectures during mundane activities. Setting clear goals rather than time-bound targets has significantly reduced my procrastination. Have you noticed how having a structured plan improves your focus and efficiency?

Setting clear goals and maintaining a structured plan can reduce procrastination and boost productivity. Staying hydrated and having a consistent sleep schedule also play a key role in maintaining focus. How can we ensure that these strategies are sustainable in the long term? Recently, I came across a program for GPT-generated text (генерация текста) in Russian. The cool part is that it runs locally on your own computer, and the output is actually unique and quite decent. By the way, I hope the content on your site isn’t AI-generated?
