THREE POWERFUL TIPS TO BOUNCE BACK INTO THE READING ZONE

Yay! It's good to finally be back to the four walls of the classroom after such eight months rollercoaster ride. While you are excited that your plan to graduate at a certain period is coming to fruition, others are irked at abandoning the familiar routine they cope with during the strike for resumption. It definitely will be taxing to get back in the groove of studying, which is why you need the magic of the following tips at your fingertips to conjure the reading hat.

BINGE -READ

According to the Urban dictionary ‘Binge-read - is the act of reading large amounts of text in a short amount of time’. This might seem overwhelming and scary, but it's an effective strategy for getting back in the reading zone. Even if you cannot muster the interest to read just skim as many text as possible to trick your brain into actual reading. it's what researchers meant when then they said that you should fake it until you feel it. However, this does not imply completely immersing yourself in reading and forgetting to nurture human relationship too. Balance it up.

DESIGN YOUR ENVIRONMENT TO SPARK READING

Usually, it's hard to perform tasks that your environment prevents, such as taking your drugs when it's safely tucked at the bottom of your travelling bag, or savouring your favourite ice cream when you have to trek a hundred miles to buy it. According to a psychologist, Kurt Lewis, behaviour is a function of the person in their environment. The good news, however, is that you can design your environment to trigger reading. Similar to your future ambition written in bold letters and pasted on the walls, you should erect books at arm's length and keep them staring in your face with accusations, so that you'll continuously be filled with guilt for not opening them. Be intentional about strategic placement of books to trigger your interest in opening them to read.

DISCIPLINE 'YOU'

No matter the hacks you are given to fall in love with academic routine again, it still boils to your choice. The determination to get the wheel rolling and get things done solely depends on you, as the only thing thwarting the achievement of your goal is you. Different activities will present themselves, and you might be tempted to pick the one which is easy and instantly gratifying. Explain to yourself reasons you need to get your act together. Get it done.

WATCHWORD

Bear in mind that the basic reason for being in school is for academics. Other activities are secondary. You're the captain to the ship of your academic sojourn in school. Navigate wisely.
