Is studying 2/3 hours per subject realistic?

yes

no

Is studying 2/3 hours per subject realistic?

 What you need to do is evaluate your progress in each of your classes.

 Spend more time with the subjects in which your knowledge is lacking

 If you’re a great essay writer, then maybe spend 30 minutes reviewing book content for your English exam, struggling in Spanish? Perhaps you should spend a couple of hours studying your vocab words

“It’s all about knowing yourself and what areas you excel in and the ones that cause you to struggle.”

Do what you need to do with quality, no matter how much time it takes

Procrastination

Burn out

I will study more than 6 hours at home every day

I’ll get to it tomorrow

It’ll take me a minute to do it

It’s so long and complex, I don’t know where or how to start…

I will work on it when I have time

Study time

• It helps you to get started
• You know you will have a break after a not so long period of time
• Enough time to work and not get overtired
• 25 minutes blocks are easy to fit in your schedule
• Avoid tunnel vision- stuck in one perspective
• Go back to the work with new ideas; new set of eyes
• Be consistent in your working time and rest time

Author's advice

https://theproductiveengineer.net/the-pomodoro-technique-why-does-the-pomodoro-technique-work/

• Don’t ever let studying get in the way of your health. 
• Don’t skip meals or stay up all night to prepare.  
• If you study each day, you probably won’t have to push yourself past your limits. 
• Taking the time to be prepared can make all the difference in the end. 
• You know what is best for you. 
• We all learn in different ways
•  There is no perfect studying method. 

There is no set rule when it comes to how long you should study each day. 

How long to study is all up to you. 

Be wise in your choices and stay true to yourself, and you will have your degree in no time. You will survive, I promise.
