This week I tried studying standing a few times a day. My initial thoughts were \u2018why stand when you can sit?\u2019 but nevertheless, I gave it a go. During lectures and seminars, I neglected the stand for no other reason than personal preservation, but in the library and at home I tried it out. First I felt self-conscious, then as I got used to it, I found myself pacing and moving while revising. I had more energy and was less likely to go for a 5 minute Facebook break so often. When you\u2019re already up, it\u2019s not as much effort to go check out that book at the back, or to go printer so often. I did need to lean over to type, but how much time do you spend typing, compared to thinking of what to say? Not alot, as it turns out. But as a result, I got things done faster and stopped procrastinating quite so much. Overall, I\u2019d recommend standing study more often, it kept me focused, active and less likely to nap.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll continue this tip especially when I\u2019ve got a tight deadline, and recommend anyone who wants to give it a try, to stand with friends. While you\u2019re brainstorming you\u2019ll find idea\u2019s come to you much easier.<\/p>\n
