Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.

Clean your room - or at least your desk/bed/floor. It will help your head to feel clear too.

Open your curtains & windows - fresh air and natural light can do wonders in my experience. Plus, it helps regulate your sleep, appetite, and mood.

Take a shower or have a bath - especially important if you haven’t had one in a while. This will help you feel refreshed.

Put on clean clothes - and put the clothes you were wearing in the wash.

If you tend to spend all your time in your room, get out of it for a bit - do something in the kitchen or lounge, or go for a walk (even if it’s just around the block)

Stretch - there are plenty of stretching and yoga videos on you tube. Look some up and give them a go.

Drink a glass of water - and keep one near you too. I’m sure you already know this, but staying hydrated is important.

Get the hard/important tasks out of the way while you have the energy - when we have mental illness, running out of energy early in the day is very normal. Try to get all the most important things done first.

Have some comfort food, but make sure you eat healthy too - it’s alright to eat something you like, but have some fruit and vegetables too. If you don’t like plain fruit, consider making a smoothie instead.

Set some goals - it doesn’t matter how small or big they are (eg. have 3 meals today, go for a walk in the afternoon), whether they are daily or weekly, but achieving goals can make you feel as though you have accomplished something.

And finally, remember that it is okay to have bad days - bad days don’t mean you’ve lost all progress in your recovery, and they don’t make you worthless or a bad person. Don’t give up just because you’ve had a bad day/week/etc. It’s okay to have days that don’t go so great. Stay strong xx

i’ve seen many posts with study tips saying highlighting is ineffective because it lets you become a passive reader, but since i personally find it useful when done correctly i wanted to make a post specifically about highlighting effectively! note that these are all my personal tips and you should always go with what works for you :]

the big NO: passive highlighting

the “highlight everything that’s important” technique where everything seems to be important

don’t do it!!!

you’ll end up with pages of yellow text not knowing what u just read

this doesn’t help u study at all

when should i highlight?

reading in advance for a class or sth, you have a really long text + you want to be able to recall important parts easily later – not necessary to colour code

you need to extract information from a text to answer different questions or similar – colour code: different colour for each question

you’re studying for a text and want to make a study guide - colour code: vocabulary + definitions, dates + people, etc

don’t highlight when the information is already very compressed, short + to the point, but you can make annotations if you want

another example

yet another key

create your own key to suit you best!

use different keys for different subjects

tips + advice

keep your key somewhere visible, like a post it note, an index card, the highlighters themselves, etc

is there something important that u feel like u may not remember or don’t understand? highlight it, make a note on the side

don’t highlight titles/subtitles bc they’re usually already made to stand out. same with already bold words, but do highlight the definition/explanation

you don’t need to highlight the whole sentence either – figure out what’s important in the important information

accompany highlighting with annotating to engage more + make it more effective – why did i highlight this part? do i have any info to add? personal comment/reminder?

don’t think just because u highlighted a chunk of text u’ve already studied it/know it – highlighting shouldn’t at all work as a study technique on its own

if you have few highlighters but want more colours, mix them!
