Look within. We often feel like we need “things” to give us success, when success is often within us.
Sometimes it’s hard to feel focused when our space is cluttered. I always feel better after I have just cleaned my room or the kitchen. I even take a couple looks back in pride…you too?! LOL
Here is our famous guide to totally taking back the power of your space, one small step at a time
Getting to the heart of the matter. Why haven't I been successful before?
Ask yourself those questions and answer them honestly....
What time of the day am I most productive or least productive?
What subjects or topics do I enjoy the most or the least?
Am I making realistic schedules? Why or why not?
What are the top 3 reasons I get distracted or off course?
How can I do it in a way where I'll be consistent?
Our Advice:
Eat the frog!
Yup, you heard it. What is it you ask? It means do what you detest to do FIRST. You just explored what subjects you do and don’t like in question #2. The key to productivity is forcing yourself to do the hardest thing first. Yes, stop avoiding it. We suggest you start the day focused on Allah by praying on time and reading Qur’an, even if for 5 minutes but then…by all means.. When it’s time to study…eat..that..frog!
Put Allah First and He Will Give You Success
Lowly is the person that thinks their success in studying is something they can strategize alone. In fact, Allah SWT mentions (quite poorly may I add) the person who deems themselves self-sufficient. But how?
Make sure you start the day on the right foot..pray fajr on time…no lame excuses. Set your alarm, when your eyes open don’t think, just count 5-4-3-2-1 and get up. Make wudu and pray.
Avoid things that will distract you from being the best version of yourself. The world is full of flashy things. Yes, most of them are on your phone…but they are honestly everywhere. You can’t make room for new and good things in your life if you aren’t
Silence your phone and close out all tabs- You hear me. Don’t respond to every ping you hear. We are intellectual human beings, not trained animals.
