How to Set Effective Studying Boundaries

It’s time to talk about setting studying boundaries. Just before starting a new course, module, semester is a perfect time to evaluate the studying boundaries you have in place, or to identify any others you’d like to implement to help you achieve more in less time.

Your studying is affected by and affects the lives of those you live with and your friends and family. Your support network may sometimes view the time and energy you give to your studying as attention taken away from them – which can cause issues and resentment.

This means that setting studying boundaries and expectations is really important to protect your wellbeing and help you become a happier and more effective student.

In this episode, I’m going to walk you through exactly how to set effective studying boundaries with those you live with and your wider circle of friends and family.

You’ll learn steps for setting studying boundaries and expectations that will open up communication and allow you to achieve a lot more in less time…and with a lot less stress.
