      Being productive while studying from home is a challenge for all of us! Let\u2019s be honest. See our productivity tips to save time, stay focused and stop procrastination!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Student life is great. You wake up whenever it feels right, you can party whenever you want, you meet a bunch of new people and there are about a thousand new hobbies that you could take on. You may have started living on your own or with friends now, you may have moved to a different city or maybe even another country. So many things to explore and discover, so many things to experience! Basically, you are at the start of your life and the possibilities are endless. But wait, are we forgetting a little something maybe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      RIGHT! Actually studying to get a degree is sort of part of the deal. At Amberscript, we understand that keeping the focus can be difficult. You may wonder how to be productive: here we have 7 productivity tips to make sure that you study as efficiently and effectively as possible. Let\u2019s optimize your time to make sure you do not miss that next party, that ski trip your association is planning or that much-needed \u201cNetflix and Chill\u201d time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Productivity tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      1. Set-up is Key<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      One of the first productivity tips is to find your concentration station! You need to find the place and circumstances that work best for you. Find a place in your house, preferably not your bedroom, that you will name your \u201cstudying space\u201d. The first step in how to become more productive while studying from home is setting boundaries, so you can mentally split studying from leisure time. Make your workstation as comfortable as possible, with desks and chairs that will not cause your neck and shoulders to get sore after a long study session.<\/p>\n\n\n

      2. Organize your Space and Schedule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Wherever you choose to study, try to make your working space organized. If there are pages of notes spread across your desk and it is taking you 5 minutes to find last week\u2019s notes, you are probably not getting through the work as efficiently as possible. Creating routines, such as changing out of your pajamas and\/or exercising before you start studying also helps to make your study time consistent. It is also helpful to divide up the work before-hand and create a to-do list per day. This makes the total workload seem less and makes it easier to have all assignments and revision done on time.<\/p>\n\n\n

      3. Writing notes for Online Seminars and Classes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Are you attending an online seminar this week? Is your professor or teacher offering the class online? School notes can be hard to take especially when the class is online! Among the best note-taking methods, our favorite is the easiest: you can simply hit the record button on your laptop and transcribe the file on Amberscript later. Not only does this save you a lot of time, but it also means you can edit the notes, highlight the main points and keep the text to go back to when you need to study. Try it for free<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
