#1 Break your tasks into smaller chunks. Cramming the night before leaves you intimidated by the amount of work. Smaller tasks are much easier to tackle.  I like to think of it as learning how to walk. Instead of running a marathon right away, focus on lifting one foot after another.

#2 Set clear goals and deadlines for these smaller tasks. Make a to-do list and prioritize what needs to be done first. This way you'll stay organized. Also, don't forget to reward yourself after you've finished a task. Maybe treat yourself to a snack, a pet cuddle, or a short episode of your favorite show.

#3 Create a study-friendly environment. Find a quiet place without too many distractions. Put your phone on silent or leave it in another room if necessary. Only use your phone for listening to some study music or white noise, but remember to stay focused.

#4 Don’t aim for perfection. It’s okay to make mistakes because you'll always learn from them. Just start and keep going. You can always refine things later. That's why people say: 'Seek progress, not perfection'.

Try these tips out, and you'll be amazed at how much more productive you can be. Happy studying!
