What are some top tips for me to stay on top of my studies?

For me personally the biggest issue is getting started.

Start by making a checklist for chapters or concepts you need to complete. (Now you’ve “completed” something and have momentum).
Make a goal for how much you can REALISTICALLY accomplish that day. For me it’s 3 chapters a day.
Start chipping away. One page is better than no pages and soon you enter the flow state you’ll be moving through pages and concepts quickly.
Avoid the phone as much as possible.
Frequent breaks are key, I roll with a 30 mins on 15 mins off.
Start early.

And once you complete your goal stop. It’s not necessary to “study” for 12 hours a day when realistically you can only really do 4-5 hours of hard thinking.

Things that help me. Before you sleep do a very quick time table of all the things that you want to accomplish tomorrow. Break it down into 2-4 hour periods. Also less frequently I write up the bigger goals that need accomplishing (things that may take days / weeks to complete).

If you're procrastinating the best thing to do is tell yourself just 5 minutes. 5 minutes of work and I'll go back to watching Netflix or whatever. 100% of the times I have done this I have continued to work way past 5 minutes.
