4) Delete your social media apps
Don’t start shaking with drug-like withdraw symptoms here – I’m not telling you to delete all your social media accounts for Christ’s sake.
Have you ever considered how much time you waste in exam period by just ‘occasionally’ checking your Twitter app, Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat maybe even your Gmail if you’re that bored…? You get the point. Your Instagram addiction could be the difference between an A and that A* if you’re not careful and, when you think about it, do you really need to see those pictures of filtered house plants and over-priced bottled water? No. While having your phone near you can be useful so you have an accurate timer for timed exam-responses and is handy for the odd essential Google, apps like Facebook Messenger pigging at you ever other second are a 100% money-back guarantee revision killer. If you really need these websites, go on them on your laptop after you’ve finished revision for the day. The world won’t end because you missed some fire banter on your squad group chat.
