Good Study Habits?
Hey guys! I'm in eighth grade and i'm about to go to high school. I realized that my study habits are terrible. When I do my homework, I always end up getting distracted and forgetting about it. I do pretty good on most of my tests EXCEPT math. I used to be really good at I never had to study for tests but this year I haven't been doing too well. Does anyone have any tips for developing better study habits? Please don't say to "just do my homework" because I always get distracted. Thanks!
How do I develop better study habits? I believe I have a lot of potential, but I actually can't stand studying. It's boring and I genuinely hate it.
First off, I want you to motivate yourself! Keep thinking “I will do this! I will do this” Let this statement move through you every time you begin studying! Be positive!Now, feeling motivated?? Great!!!Why do we all go to school and study? Do you know the answer? Well, I believe you are a smart student, you would know this, but I would reiterate, the answer is, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! Learning never stops after school/university, it goes on and on, throughout your life! So, whenever you begin studying, develop an interest within yourself, keep thinking that you are going to learn something new! STUDY FOR KNOWLEDGE, GRADES WILL SURELY FOLLOW!Before study time, sit down for 5 minutes, and prepare a time-table! Write down all that you plan to finish in that span of time, and hope to finish it! Keeping a plan always works! There would be times where you might not achieve your plan, but don’t give up! Complete it the next day, along with your new plan for that day!(Refer to my answer : Sanjay's answer to How can I organize an effective study timetable?)During your study time, I believe that you can’t study continuously for an hour or something! don’t worry, even I can’t do that! Study for 40 minutes, and then have a short break (~~10 minutes)! In this break try not to watch TV or check your phone! It might cause you to procrastinate! Have some snacks, take a short walk etc! Boost up and come back to studies! Depending on your schedule, you can study 3 or 4 hours a day! But those hours should be dedicated ones! Keep your full focus on studies! I am 100% sure you would be able to get your grades back! All the best! Hope my answer helped you :)Also refer to my answers to the following questions:Sanjay's answer to What should I do to concentrate on studies to top in class?Sanjay's answer to How do I study with focus and concentration and avoid distractions and procrastination?Sanjay's answer to What are some study hacks every student should know?
What are good study habits?
Lets see, Most importantly its discipline. How badly you want to excel in school? List down your goals, like maybe B average in school and stuff. Priortise your goals and then stick it up a wall where you can see it often. On your study desk, on ur PS2 or beside your bed lamp. Reason: on PS2 or bedlamp, if your are enticed to game or nap, it will remind you your goals and will deter you from doing other stuffs, thus helping your focus. This is getting you to sit down and open a book, and does not mean studying. Good lights, good study environment and soft music can help you study. Grow some plants, and have some healthy snacks. Remember to eat slightly before studying as your brain has absolute need for glucose. Not too heavy though, as you might feel too sleepy or full. Got subjects you hate? Find ways to spruce things up with games etc... If its in school you have trouble concentrating, find the source and eliminate it. Gals, thinking of hanging out with who after class, keep it off your head. Plan your time carefully, if you are having mid terms in 2 weeks time, drop other stuffs u r doing and start hitting the books. Plan what you will be studying after school, inclusive of homework time. I myself study 6 hrs a day inclusive of lessons (3hrs). On weekends i study4 hours a day. Don't just flip the pages and read, take notes, do examples, and it will greatly enhance and laser focus your study time. Cheers.
Describe your study habits?
Usually put in minimal effort to maintain good classwork/assignment grades and cram up the whole syllabus 1 day before the exam. This is an intensive preperation method and works for me very well.

First of all I want to say that m also a student like u and I myself struggle to inculcate good studying habits in me .. but I can advice you some good habits ..Always try to study in an upright posture like on chair with a table or sitting on the ground . If u will study on the bed u will end up sleeping.Never try to study with your internet on or log out of all social networks before sitting for studying.Sit to study in a room which is free from noise or any kind of distractions.Never study for more than 50 minutes in one go, after 50 minutes take a 5 min break to reboot ur mind .Avoid studying for late night if u are a school or college going student .Do take adequate sleep and then study in morning hours when your mind is fresh.Don’t take studies as a burden just try to fall in love with your subjects and learn for fun never take pressure.Make a habit of writing whatever u read or learn so as to memorise it better .Never skip a new word which u don’t know instead kill ur laziness and surf it in dictionary it will help u.Set ur daily targets and try to accomplish them and then reward yourself with something like a movie or something u like to do.I hope it helps u .. best of luck buddy ✌

Bad Study Habits. How to break them?!?!?!?
You need to pick one thing at a time to work on. Change something, take a few days or even a couple of weeks to get in the rhythm of doing things that way, then move on to something else you need to improve. Start with the distractions. Eliminate them. Try studying at the library, or away from anything that can divide your focus (internet, tv, etc.) Rather than procrastinating, try starting your homework/reading the day its assigned. Reward yourself for accomplishing things early. Remove things you'd enjoy (surfing the net aimlessly, watching something on tv, etc.) as punishment. You've got to create more of an incentive to change than just "I know its good for me". Reading isn't an active enough method of learning. When you've got things to read, you have to involve your mind the same way taking notes does in class. The most straightforward way is to take notes on what you're reading, but a much better way is to summarize and outline topics as you go. What you end up with should look like a synopsis of the reading, meaning you had to take the time to think "What's the major idea here? What points are they trying to convey?" Also, always work through any examples in the chapter as you come to them, trying to do as much without looking at the book as you can. Not only will this help you understand the concepts, it'll provide additional study material for tests later on.
