Whether you’re studying for an exam or learning to master your craft, sometimes it can be hard to stay motivated. Here are my tips to keep your momentum.
- Break down the topics you are learning. Rather than trying to learn everything at once break up subjects into manageable chunks.
- Get into a routine. Allocate time during your day to study and turn off any distractions during this time.
- Take regular breaks. You could try taking a break after achieving a task making your breaks feel well deserved.
- Keep hydrated and fed. Your brain is working hard so make sure you fuel it up efficiently.
- Don’t hibernate from the world. It is important for your physical and mental health to still go out and do regular activities such as seeing friends or shopping. This can even help make you feel refreshed for your next task.
Who felt happy that after leaving school or university you never had to ‘learn’ again?
I remember this exact feeling until I realised that in reality we never stop learning.
From job experience, to self-directed study or even watching YouTube videos we are constantly absorbing information.
Continuing to learn throughout life has many benefits, such as improving your confidence, fighting boredom and keeping your brain active and sharp which has been shown to help reduce the risk of memory issues such as Dementia later in life.
During isolation it can be easy to fall into a trap of binge watching TV whilst grazing on food, or scrolling mindlessly through the internet, which will all set you back on your goals and ambitions.
Why not put aside 30 minutes every day to prioritise something that you’ve always wanted to do but never had time to. It could be baking a healthy treat, learning a new hobby or even just washing the carpets. That way, you’ll still get to enjoy the benefits of time off whilst keeping yourself motivated.
For me, I’m choosing this time to write some memoires. 🖊️📖 Take care and stay healthy 😘

Did you know that condoms aren’t as effective as the pill or coil?
Recent research has shown that women aged 16-24 years are more likely to only use barrier contraception, which can lead to unplanned and unwanted pregnancies, and can cause emotional turmoil.
Keeping up to date with new evidence and research is a vital part of my job as a General Practitioner. There are plenty of safe and reliable forms of birth control, if you would like more information please do come by and see me in clinic. Remember, although condoms may not be the best in birth control they are the best are reducing the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.
