It’s study hack time!
Not wanting to study, not being able to peel yourself off the sofa to start studying, getting bored part way through your study session and struggling to get back into it…these are all signs that you’re a NORMAL student.
Our mindset can make a massive difference to our studying. It can seem impossible to make progress when we’re feeling unmotivated, distracted, negative, unconfident.

This mindset shift won’t just help you in your studies, but will boost your energy, happiness and progress in all other areas of your life…
