Hi Guys,
Just on the subject of study, I'm struggling to make a study timetable where I will actually have a routine after school each day and on the weekend. Currently I'm spending wayyyy too long on one thing and running out of time for all the other subjects. Do you have any suggestions on how to build a study timetable an some more efficient methods of studying
Thankyou!!

Make your timetable more "blocked".
When I say that, I mean allocate more time to a few things every day, rather than less time to achieving multiple things.
The main suggestion is to timetable using 1.5hr - 2hr intervals instead. Because by what you're saying, you're implying you tend to get started on one thing and want to stick to it. So having timetables based on 30min - 1hr intervals will probably be ineffective.
After 2 hours, you should pretty much be drained. So you're bound to be ready for a proper rest.
Make sure you note down any priorities as well, e.g. studying for an upcoming test or handing in an assignment. These might need special time slots allocated.
Also, when timetabling, do include dinner and what not in it as well. And remember that you may just have a thing called 'life' damaging it, so don't timetable too strictly either. Always give some room for 'life' instead of overpack your timetable.
Main takeout is what I boldfaced - rest are just little bits of advice.
