What are study habits that work for anyone that stick throughout college?
I'm a junior and college and I've tried a lot of study habits that are not working for me. It does not help that I procrastinate a lot. Anything is appreciated!

Thank you for your question. The mist important is to manage your time well to prevent last minute rush. Don't be a deadline fighter.
Firstly, you need to find a good time management tool to help , eg Google Calendar, MS Outlook, phone calendar, etc
Below are my suggestions:
1. Put down the time you need to attend classes
2. Assign some time every day on your assignment, projects, etc. Divide the workload evenly to prevent last minute rush
3. Review the material covered in the class everyday. If you have any question, ask the teacher on next school day
4. Make sure you have enough time to sleep and do some exercise
5. Allocate more time to for revision before assessment
6. Form study groups with your classmates
Hope this helps! Good luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

If you’re struggling with study habits and procrastination, start by breaking big tasks into smaller, manageable steps. Use short, focused sessions like the Pomodoro Method (25 minutes of work followed by a 5-minute break) to stay productive without burning out. Build a consistent study routine during your peak focus hours, and stick to active learning methods like flashcards, self-quizzing, or explaining concepts out loud. Set clear, realistic goals, eliminate distractions, and use tools like Notion to stay organized and track your progress.
To overcome procrastination, focus on just getting started—try the two-minute rule or the five-second rule to break through resistance. Take care of your physical and mental health: get enough sleep, eat well, and move during breaks to stay energized. Keep your study methods varied to avoid burnout, and regularly reflect on what’s working. You can track your progress by keeping a study log or journal, marking off completed tasks in a planner or app, or reviewing how well you're retaining material through regular self-testing. Noticing improvements—like faster recall and fewer mistakes—can be a huge motivator. Reward yourself for making progress, and if needed, set gentle consequences for skipping planned work. With time, consistency, and dedication, you'll find your rhythm—and studying will feel far more manageable and effective.
Good luck!
