establish a routine and make sure it starts and ends at the same time everyday, for example sit down at 1 and study till 4pm every day.

write down a list of what you have to do during a holidays, then make a calendar of what you will do each day. for example - notes on climate variation on 12/07, 2 trials papers 13/07, etc.

give yourself dedicated leisure time, but give yourself a time limit for it (unless you have no more work to complete that day). for example, i can play video games from 10-11 am, but then i have to study from 12 - 4, and can only play once ive finished my work for the day.

try do work in the morning or midday. you tend to be more motivated during that time, then once youre done you can do whatever.

i appreciate your response im going to lock in

dont just say 'ill study today', write down what you will actually study that day. like for example instead of saying 'ill study earth today', you need to write down what specific syllabus dotpoints you need to do for that day

also be actually realistic about how much youll study that day. if you arent able to finish stuff youve written down then you get a bit more lax with leaving work for the next day, but you never end up doing it and just telling yourself 'ill do it later'

if u play games a lot or use social media a ton, you may want to delete them for now then redownload them later. obv you can still redownload them, but having that barrier of 'ugh i have to redownload this' helps a bit with dissuading urself from using stuff that drains ur time.

ye i have a whiteboard in my room and i wrote down what im going to do

 

[bruhmoment.]

thats a pretty good strategy i think thats what im gonna do as well. im doing ts eliot for mod b and oml its so boring like how am i meant to write an essay on it

does anyone know the best structure for elliot essays is?. I was gonna do paras for each poem but then my teacher suggested it is more sophisticated to have paras by theme where u incorporate 2-3 poems per para. she said we dont have to compare them but idk this structure better or nah?

I feel like that would be confusing asf since you’re bouncing between poems so much

i did that for mod a cos i did poems (treated keats' poetry as one text and each quote was a different poem so i ended up using 6 out of the 7 poems for my essay) and it depends on your marker but if you do it right it can be more effective than writing just one poem per paragraph, especially since a collection of poems is meant to be considered as one text while one poem per paragraph gives off the vibe you're viewing them as 3 separate texts which is not the vibe you should be aiming for. remember textual integrity, the most important part of mod b - different aspects of a text come together to create a cohesive whole that shapes meaning - all the 5 poems bring to the table something that comes together to deliver a unified meaning.

there's no need to 'compare' the poems you just pretend as if the poetic collection is just one novel. so something like 'eliot evokes the modernist disillusion with societal blah blah, as shown through Poem A... [progress from ur first point to ur second] This sentiment is further highlighted in Poem B, where ...'. in my school pretty sure it was the essays that did multiple poems per paragraph (which my teachers recommended) that got the higher marks
