the one about studying

So here I am, on a typical Tuesday night, with more that needs to get done than I have the motivation to do.  Time management is important for college students.  Balancing work, activities, social life, and school can be difficult and overwhelming.  I have found a study tool that I utilize when I plan on spending an extended period of time studying or completing assignments.  Its called Focus Booster, and it is a free application that you can download directly onto your computer to help break up your study session into manageable chunks.  You can access Focus Booster at http://www.focusboosterapp.com/. Focus Booster is basically a timer that displays on your screen.  When you start studying, the timer  starts counting down from 25 minutes.  When the time is up, you are given a five minute break for your leisure.  This tool is dependable and has worked really well for me.  It helps me stay focused for my allotted study time without getting burnt out and resorting to creeping Facebook or some other equally time-wasting activity.  It works best if you really force yourself to work and focus for the full 25 minutes.  It is not impossible, trust me :)  This is just one study tip that has helped me, and may just help you ace your next test as well!
here’s to living,
T.
