  1. Romanticize Your Study Life

Make studying fun by turning it into a vibe! Light a candle, grab cute pens, and blast a lo-fi beats playlist. When your workspace feels aesthetic, you’ll actually want to sit down and get things done.

  1. Treat Yo’ Self—Strategically

Set rewards for hitting milestones. Finish a chapter? Grab a latte. Submit that essay? Watch your favorite show. Training your brain to associate hard work with little joys makes productivity so much easier.

  1. Work Smarter, Not Longer

Forget those 8-hour marathons. Use the Pomodoro technique: 25 minutes of focus, 5-minute breaks. It keeps your brain fresh and prevents burnout. Bonus tip: Keep healthy snacks handy—fuel your focus and your stomach.
