5 Tips for Studying Better

Are you struggling to study effectively? Don’t worry, I’ve been there. In fact I am there – right now, even as I write this! Weather for a test, a class, or just trying to learn a new skill, studying can be difficult. But with a few tips and a little bit of humor, we can conquer those textbooks and ace those exams.

1. Create a study schedule

The first step to effective studying is creating a schedule. This might sound boring, but trust me, it’s worth it. By scheduling your study time, you’ll be able to stay organized and focused. And don’t forget to schedule in some breaks too – we all need a little Netflix break every now and then. I like to put my schedule in my phone so I get alerts and reminders to study and take breaks, but find a system that works for you.

2. Find a study group

Studying with a group can be a game-changer. Not only does it make studying more fun, but it also allows you to bounce ideas off of each other and clarify any confusing concepts. Plus, it’s a great way to make new friends – who knows, you might even find your future spouse in your study group (just kidding… maybe).

3. Use a variety of study methods

Everyone learns differently, so it’s important to find study methods that work for you. Some people love flashcards, while others prefer to make diagrams or watch videos (I’m a video gal myself). Experiment with different methods until you find what works best for you. And don’t be afraid to get creative – maybe you’ll find that you learn best while singing songs about history (I mean, who doesn’t love a good history ballad?).

4. Take care of yourself

Studying can be exhausting, both mentally and physically. That’s why it’s important to take care of yourself while you study. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep, eating healthy food, and taking breaks to stretch or go for a walk. And don’t forget to take care of your spiritual health too – make time for prayer and meditation on God’s Word.

5. Trust in God’s plan

Finally, remember to trust in God’s plan. Studying can be stressful, but we don’t have to carry that stress alone. God is with us every step of the way, and He has a plan for our lives. So even if we don’t ace that exam or get into our dream school (or if we do), we can trust that God’s plan is greater than our own.

There you have it, folks – five tips for studying well from a Christian millennial who’s still riding the study struggle bus. I hope you found these tips helpful – or at least a little bit entertaining. And if you have any tips of your own, feel free to share them in the comments below!

5 Tips for Decluttering Your Home

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the clutter in your home? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. As someone who’s been there (and probably still is there), I have a few tips to share with you – and I’ll try to make you laugh while I’m at it.

1. Start small

When it comes to decluttering, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and want to tackle everything at once. But let’s be real – that’s a recipe for disaster. Instead, start small. Pick one room, one drawer, or even just one shelf, and focus on decluttering that area. It might not seem like much, but every little bit helps. Even just dealing with one small thing a day, if you do it for 30 days, makes 30 small things look like one huge thing!

2. Donate or sell

Once you’ve started decluttering, you’re going to have a lot of stuff you don’t need or want anymore. Don’t just throw it all away – donate or sell it instead. There are plenty of organizations that would love to have your gently used clothes, books, and household items. And if you’re feeling entrepreneurial, you could even try selling your stuff on eBay or Facebook Marketplace. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure, right?

3. Ask for help

Decluttering can be a lonely and overwhelming task. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from friends or family members. Maybe your sister is great at organizing, or your best friend is a pro at letting go of sentimental items. And if you’re really stuck, you could even hire a professional organizer. Just make sure they’re not secretly a hoarder in disguise.

4. Pray

Decluttering can be an emotional process. You might come across items that bring up painful memories or make you feel guilty or remind you of someone who is no longer with you. Take some time to pray for guidance, wisdom, and peace as you sort through your belongings. And don’t forget to thank God for the blessings in your life – even if some of those blessings are in the form of clutter.

5. Learn from your mistakes

Once you’ve decluttered your home, don’t let the clutter creep back in. Learn from your mistakes and make a plan to prevent clutter from building up again. Maybe you need to be more mindful about what you bring into your home, or maybe you need to set aside time each week to tidy up. Whatever your plan is, make sure it’s realistic and sustainable for you – do what works for you and not just some trend you saw online. And if all else fails, just remember: Jesus didn’t have a lot of stuff, and he turned out okay, so you’llbe okay too.

And there you have it, folks. Five tips for decluttering your home, from a Christian millennial who’s just trying to live a simpler, less cluttered life. Hopefully, you found these tips helpful – or at least entertaining. And if you have any tips of your own, feel free to share them in the comments!
