Studying at St Andrews isn’t just about ticking off tasks — it’s about finding a rhythm that supports both your learning and your wellbeing 💙. Our daily study planner is built to help you do just that: keep your academic goals in sight while staying kind to your mind and body. Here’s how to make the most of it 👇

When do you study best?

Everyone has different energy peaks throughout the day. Morning person? Night owl? Honour it.
By identifying your most focused hours, you can:

  • Schedule high-priority or more difficult tasks when you’re at your sharpest
  • Plan lighter tasks for slower periods
  • Work around your lectures, labs and tutorials more effectively

Being strategic with your time = less wasted energy 💡

🧃 We 💙 break times (and you should too)

Regular breaks aren’t a luxury — they’re essential. Here’s why:

  • 👀 Rest your eyes, reset your focus, and return with a clearer mind
  • 🧠 Let your brain absorb what you’ve just been working on
  • 🧍‍♀️ Take a walk or stretch — physical movement boosts concentration
  • ☕ Catch up with a study buddy, call a friend, or enjoy some solo time

Breaks reduce procrastination and improve productivity. Win-win.

🪑 Your study space really matters

Where you work has a huge impact on how you feel and focus. Choose wisely:

  • Find a quiet, low-distraction spot with comfy seating
  • Match the environment to the task: writing? reading? brainstorming?
  • Keep it tidy — clear space, clear mind 🧘‍♀️
  • Consistency helps: your brain will start to associate that space with productivity
