#080 – You said you'd study straight after dinner but somehow the evening is disappearing and you realise you are procrastinating. Or you said you'd start your essay this week but it's already Thursday and nothing's happened yet. You've been busy but just haven't managed to make progress on the important stuff. Procrastination is a natural response to doing hard, uncomfortable, sometimes boring things.

In this episode I'm going to walk you through the 3 things you definitely should NOT do if you realise you are procrastinating. Then, so as not to leave you in the lurch, I'll share the 3 things you should do instead to become a more proactive student; to start making consistent progress on your study tasks and goals so you can get shiz done in less time.

#077 – Did you know that there are 3 levels of learning? You'll likely engage in each of these levels of learning at different times throughout your studies. Each has its uses but it's SUPER important that you're using the right one at the right time...so you don't throw away marks or waste time on ineffective studying.

The first of the levels of learning will allow you to get through your studies quicker, but could hold you back from achieving great grades. The second level is necessary for super important topics and is the method to use if you want to get the most out of your learning. The third level is efficient AF. You'll get through the important parts of your studying related to your assessments, and you'll quickly make progress towards your learning goals.

In this episode I'm going to walk you through these 3 levels of learning and then help you work out which one(s) are best for you right now – for your motivation, course and studying situation. I'll also share some simple steps and strategies to help you succeed at these levels of learning.

Future you is gonna thank you for listening to this episode.

These minisodes will help you shake off any negative studying baggage from the week before and offer a moment to pause, reflect and change your approach so you can move off in a new, more successful direction.

In this week's minisode, we're going to talk about the funnest of topics – failure. Fear of failure is something that the majority of students struggle with. Fear of failing an essay, an exam or an entire course. And this fear can be wrapped up in a lot of things – a fixed mindset, education scars, limiting beliefs, fear of judgement. Well in today's minisode I'm going to share with you a different perspective that may not make you run towards failure with open arms, but will start to loosen the grip fear of failure has on you. Sounds good, right?
