How to get 2 hours of studying done in just 1 hour

A lot of the time when students sit down to study, it feels like they’re about to climb Mount Everest. A long and strenuous journey awaits them.


It is easy to see why a lot of teens are suffering from the motivation blues. It is incredibly difficult to engage in a productive study session if you’re not feeling motivated. So, how can we fix this?

We’re going to take the task that feels like climbing a mountain, and give it a makeover so it feels like a brisk walk. Here’s what your teen needs to do.

Instead of thinking they have the daunting task of revising weeks and weeks of class notes, your teen needs to set just ONE meaningful task. Only one.

This could be:

- Making your own diagram
- Solving equations
- Making an essay plan
- Attempting a past exam
- Making flashcards
- Whatever your teen can think would be a useful task to complete

The Result? Instead of staring at their desk or computer screen for two hours, your teen has just powered through a productive study session in which they completed a meaningful task that will directly contribute to them getting better grades.

They’ve completed a task in half the time it would have taken them had they not set themselves this one manageable goal. Plus, they took a task that seemed virtually impossible to complete and broke it down into manageable chunks.
