Exam Study Expert: ace your exams with the science of learning

210. Fresh Start Habits For Smarter Study: Every Day, Every Week


Listen Later

Today, we're turning good intentions and a long list of things you need to do or should do or would like to do into consistent action!


Key ideas today include:
• fresh start effect as useful motivation
• split goals into one-off and ongoing tasks
• schedule one-off tasks in the diary
• design daily habits with clear what, when, and why
• use weekly blocks for deep, flow-based work
• set seasonal habits around exams or deadlines
• share your habit plan for accountability
• simple homework to lock in your cadence

Your homework: take a second to drop your intention in the comments: what are you going to do, is it every day or every week, for how long, at what time, and what's your why for it?
