Let’s transform your academic journey starting today.
Morning good habits for students to Kickstart Your Day
1. Wake Up Early
The most successful students at our academy start their day by 6 AM.
This gives them quiet hours to focus before the day’s distractions begin.
2. Morning Hydration
Drink a glass of water immediately after waking up.
Your brain needs hydration to function optimally during study sessions.

Just 10 minutes of meditation improves concentration—a crucial skill for web designers and developers.
Our top coding students uses our own Open Source Habit Tracker App to build this habit.
4. Review Your Goals
Take 5 minutes to review your short and long-term goals.
This simple habit keeps you aligned with your purpose, especially important for those preparing for competitive exams like IIT-JEE.
5. Exercise Briefly
A quick 15-minute workout boosts brain function and creativity.
Web designers particularly benefit from this creativity boost during morning hours.
6. Eat a Protein-Rich Breakfast
Skip the sugary cereals.
Our highest-performing students fuel their mornings with eggs, paneer, or protein smoothies.
7. Preview the Day’s Materials
Spend 10 minutes scanning what you’ll be learning today.
This primes your brain to absorb information more effectively when you study later.
8. Practice Gratitude
Write down three things you’re grateful for.
This positive mindset leads to better learning outcomes, as our research with engineering students shows.
9. Organize Your Study Space
A clean, organized study area reduces mental clutter.
Web development students need this organization for efficient coding sessions.
10. Set 3 MITs (Most Important Tasks)
Identify the three most important tasks to accomplish today.
This focus is critical for students juggling multiple projects or exam preparations.
Effective Study good habits for students
11. Practice Active Recall
Instead of re-reading notes, actively recall information.
Python students who test themselves regularly score 27% higher on assessments.
12. Use the Pomodoro Technique
Study in focused 25-minute intervals with 5-minute breaks.
Check out our Pomodoro App.
This technique has revolutionized how our web design students approach complex projects.

13. Take Handwritten Notes
Research shows handwriting improves retention better than typing.
Even in technical fields like coding, sketching concepts helps cement understanding.
14. Create Mind Maps
Mind mapping helps connect related concepts.
Our graphic design students use Xmind and Diagrams App or simple paper maps to organize visual concepts.
15. Teach What You Learn
Explain concepts to others, even if it’s just to an imaginary student.
This “explanation effect” identifies gaps in your understanding immediately.
16. Use Spaced Repetition
Review material at increasing intervals over time.
Apps like Anki help our students remember complex programming syntax or design principles.
We also have a flashcard app for our students that is easy to use.
17. Practice Question Papers
Regularly attempt previous years’ question papers.
This is especially crucial for government exam preparation and competitive tests.
18. Seek Feedback
Share your work with mentors or peers weekly.
Our web design students improve dramatically faster when they get regular feedback on their projects.
19. Create Summaries
After each study session, write a brief summary in your own words.
This consolidates learning and serves as a quick reference later.
20. Connect New Information to Existing Knowledge
Always ask: “How does this relate to what I already know?”
This connection-building is how our top Python developers master new frameworks quickly.
Digital Productivity good habits for students
21. Use Task Management Apps
Keep track of assignments and deadlines with apps like Todoist or Microsoft To Do.
These tools are essential for managing complex web development projects.
22. Practice Digital Minimalism
Close unnecessary tabs and apps during study sessions.
Our research shows this simple habit can increase productivity by up to 30%.
23. Use Website Blockers
Install apps like Forest or Freedom during focus periods.
These tools help students avoid social media distractions.
24. Back Up Your Work
Develop the habit of backing up projects to cloud storage.
This has saved countless web design students from disaster before submission deadlines.
25. Set Up Browser Bookmarks
Organize educational resources in browser folders for quick access.
Python students especially benefit from having documentation easily accessible.
26. Learn Keyboard Shortcuts
Master shortcuts for your most-used applications.
This saves web developers and designers hours of time over a semester.
27. Practice Touch Typing
Aim to type without looking at the keyboard.
Web development students who touch type at 60+ WPM complete coding assignments significantly faster.
28. Use Dark Mode When Possible
Reduce eye strain during long study sessions.
This is especially important for programming and design students who spend hours looking at screens.
29. Take Regular Screenshots
Capture your progress when learning new software or coding concepts.
These visual references become valuable when reviewing complex procedures.
30. Set Up Project Templates
Create reusable templates for assignments and projects.
Our web design students save hours by having basic HTML/CSS templates ready to customize.
Health and Wellbeing good habits for students
31. Stay Hydrated Throughout the Day
Keep a water bottle at your desk and finish it at least twice daily.
Dehydration can reduce cognitive performance by up to 20%.
32. Take Movement Breaks
Stand up and move every hour, even if just for 2 minutes.
This is crucial for design students who tend to get lost in their creative work.
