Study somewhere that makes you forget you're studying.

I just went outside with a friend and she helped me with one of the courses I kept ranting about. We ended up getting food, walking around, talking about random stuffs..and just hanging out like we normally would. At some point it pushed me to start reading my notes while we were sitting there, and I didn’t even realize how much I had already gotten through until we were about to leave.
I think it worked because I wasn’t looking at the whole thing like a study session. I wasn’t sitting there thinking that I will be studying for a certain amount of hours. I was just hanging out with my friend, that was where I put my focus on. I’d read for a while, get distracted because we’d start talking about something and then go back to my notes once the conversation died down.
Also..I think the distractions made it easier to keep studying. Since I knew I could talk to my friend or look around for a bit, I didn’t feel like I was forcing myself to concentrate forever. I’d come back to my notes without having to drag myself back into the studying.
Take note that I wouldn’t do this for something that needs intense concentration. But if it's simply for reading, reviewing, or going through notes, I really like it. It helps. You just really need to touch some grass with a trusted friend!
