I haven't got a timetable as such, but I've rigged my phone to ring when I finish a 40 minute period, which is followed by a 10 minute break and longer breaks for lunch/dinner and for breaking monotony etc. All in all I should be doing a minimum of 8 hours study per day until the exams are over. I tend to do english advanced and general maths in the morning as I find english hard and maths hard if I'm tired.

Why plan your day minute to minute?
things come up and I think we all have to realise we never do everything we want to get done, so just do what you feel on the day! thats my plan :)

I'm finding it really hard to do my designated English/Modern History study. I mean, I can study Maths and Physics for hours straight. Then comes English and Modern where I become restless in half an hour.
This is going to be tough :(

mine looks heaps regimented, but it's just a guide as to what i need to get done and when. if things change during the day i adapt my study to that.

otherwise i procrastinate and never get anything done.

My timetable:

Get the egg timer out of the kitchen, set it to 99 minutes.

Start the timer and start study.

Every time I do something non-study related, (eat, relax, talk to someone, waste time on BOS) I pause the timer. Not restart, just pause.

Start it again each time I study. Do 3-4 lots of 99 minutes= approx 4 or 5 hours.

Pretty much if I waste time during the day, I punish myself by staying up late until 4 or 5 hours are done. If I do it all in one go in the morning, then I get the rest of the day off.

I need to have a reward/punishment system because I am so wildly unmotivated to do anything on my own accord. I hate the HSC.

No set subjects each day, just whatever I feel needs doing. Right now= Frankenstein/Bladerunner essay. I hate the HSC.

is there such thing as overstudy. im a bodybuilder and if you overtrain, (do to much, i.e train 7 days a week with no rest) your results actualy decline. so im thinking. im studying around 5 hours a day, is it posible that im overstudying if theres such thing?

Yes, overstudying does happen. I think it results in yourself being burnt-out and not able to sit down and study anymore. Allow sufficient breaks in between your study. That will help alot. And if you can't focus on one subject within a timespan, diversify your study and do different subjects :lol:

Oh ok. Yeah I think im not taking long enough breaks. Because I am feeling more burnt out than usual for some subjects, as though I am not absorbing any of the things I summarise etc. Thanks for your help =)
