A lot of focus is put on what and how to study, mostly because that’s really important. However, we also need to consider how our brains and bodies are functioning while we study. Mindfulness and movement might not be the first things you think of when you think of study strategies, but I’d argue that they should be on the list. These things can make a big difference when it comes to focus, memory, and stress and the great news is: it only takes a few minutes! 

Mindfulness and exercise are two of the most effective and underutilized tools for improving attention, executive functioning, and emotional balance, especially for students with ADHD or anxiety.

In present-day society, smartphones have become devices that we are considerably dependent on in areas such as work, school, entertainment, and social life. In an instant, you can communicate with someone across the globe or find an actor’s entire filmography after tirelessly pondering where you’ve seen him before. Unquestionably, smartphone technology has revolutionized the way we live our daily lives, both positively and negatively.
