Setting Ourselves up for Study Success
This is a question I often receive and is also something that came up during one of our coaching calls in Mastering Test Prep,  that is: How can you set yourself up for study success? This conversation came up with one of our Apply Yourself members because they're starting to implement new study strategies to really bump up their grades, and I share these strategies with you today! 

5 Strategies for Study Success
These strategies for study success revolve around planning and understanding what you need to succeed. This includes nourishing your body and mind, and planning ahead in order to get what you need to boost your productivity and performance while studying. Here are 5 strategies for study success that you can use to propel your advancement forward: 

1. Set up your study environment for success. You need to have a study space that you are comfortable and safe in, whether it be at home, at school, or in the library, otherwise you may feel distracted.  
2. Make sure that you are feeding your body nourishing foods. This means meal planning in advance and packing your food appropriately and sustainably. This is an especially important point for students because food is expensive. We talk a lot about meal planning in our coaching sessions, including appropriate library foods and affordable, easy to make meal options.  
3. Plan what times of the day you will be eating. Will you eat before or after class? When will you eat your meal and when will you have snacks? It’s also important to keep an emergency stash of food in your bag at all times.
4. Work in flexibility of when you will be eating throughout the day. Make sure you are eating when you are actually hungry and not just when you have it scheduled in.
5. Make sure that you are drinking enough water throughout the day. Bring your refillable water bottle and fill it up at school or at work at the designated filtered water stations.
6. Use earplugs while you are studying. This was really helpful for me when I was studying because you can tune out any noise and distractions.
