I've recently made a "system" for myself where I study for about one hour and then watch one episode of anime. I've found it to really help me staying engaged in my studies without losing focus.

How do you guys manage to study and watch anime? Do you focuse solely on studying? Do you study at all? LMK

I don't have such schedule. Watch and study when I wanted to.

Outside of class time, we usually got homework in a form of article, so, we have to understand the material. I usually do my homework first over any other thing (except when I took a break to play some games) I prefer games than anime cuz I don't have to complete it till the end, so, if I feel like to continue my homework, I'll press alt+f4.

I honestly also prefer to play games, but since the break I take usually is about 30 minutes it feels a bit stupid to start playing a game only to quit immideatly. Also it feels easier to loose track of time when playing a game.

But I also refuse to study after dinner since I don't think school needs to take up that much time, so I usually play all evening

Struggling with deadlines and exams and still instead of learning I am choosing to watch some seasonals or re-watch something or watch a reaction on youtube x)

You just don’t. That’s not a thing. I suppose I have given it ago a few times in the past but it has never worked out well.

I agree, said me back when I was a High Schooler.
Since your subject in college is what you familiar with the most, studying is not as boring as we read most hated subject on the earth.
I have this complex that I should understand even just a bit on what will be discussed about on the next class, or I can't join the class at all. So, make study as research? Just imagine you can answer all of your teacher's questions while your classmates are all hiding under your shadow. Feels awesome.

I just finish my work and study first before I allow myself to do anything else. I’ve started this system when about 3 years ago and it worked pretty well.

Let's say you work out an hour a day, well an episode of anime is only about twenty minutes long, meaning in that one hour you can enjoy three whole episodes of anime. And considering there's seven days in a week, that means you can enjoy up to 21 episodes a week all while still doing something productive. And let's be real, there's no where near 21 seasonal anime a week worth watching, so not only do you have more time to watch that season's best anime than you'd ever need, you'll also have time to go back and watch older classics on your Plan To Watch list that you've been meaning to watch. On top of that, if you watch anime at x1.5 or x2 speed you can watch up to 42 episodes a week. Allotting yourself an hour or less a day (preferably while doing something productive) is more than enough to enjoy anime to its fullest.

I wouldn't recommend using anime for mini-breaks nor anything else, like in regards to school it's far better to just work until you're done with everything on your plate then spend the rest of the night relaxing. I had to strictly abide by that otherwise I'd end up procrastinating in College. In regards to work I just do that all day until the final five hours at night three of which I allot myself to relax (mostly play videogames), I'd love more time but I don't deserve it because I should be using the time I have while I'm young to get stuff done and setup a successful future career. We can watch all the anime we want when we're senior citizens the last ten to forty years of our life with all the free time in the world lol. Gonna be funny seeing my generation grow up and all these old people watching anime like their grandkids haha.

Just do your work as your main priority (Use the Pomodoro method, it's very useful, search it up if ya wanna *know more about it) and you can watch anime in between breaks but don't watch anime in between breaks when you're on a exam week and such because grades are important :/

Easy: I just don't study.

Nah, seriously, I usually don't have homework that must be completed right away, so I use the time I'm not doing homework to watch anime and browse MAL and stuff like that. It isn't too bad (except when I procrastinate).

I only do homework when it's Monday - Friday since if I did it on all days then I would not be able to think of anything else if I did my homework or other shits, tho it does make it faster to be finished in works it's still a drag doing it on Saturday and Sunday when it's the day for relaxation

if i had a system to manage my time i wouldn't be taking 2+ months to finish a 12 episode anime
i've heard of something called the animedoro method where u study for an hour and watch an episode of anime ( skipping the opening and ending ). sounds pretty neat.

i'd take it up but my mom always enters my room when i'm watching it so she thinks i'm not studying 💀💀
also because i have 0 self control and will probably click on the next episode

Easy, you don't. A high degree doesn't guarantee a good job anyway so better kill yourself

I mean, study hard and fulfill your dreams bro

By not studying and not watching anime.

1 hour of studying and another 20 minutes worth of watching anime is just enough for me to hit back an extra time each week. Now I can do 15 pullups with perfect form. All the way up and all the way down. Now do this for every muscle group, add 6 meals a day, and 11 hours of sleep, and there you have it. There is simply no time for hobbies like studying. I downloaded Audible recently to listen to audiobooks while exercising, but before you know it, I was listening to ASMR by some Korean chick. Capitalism wins again.

You don't. If you seriously prioritize gaming and watching anime above your future, you should seek help or take your studying more seriously.

It's helpful to use games or anime as part of a reward system. I study a bit and if I get it done, I watch an episode or two.

I never studied at home and only reviewed for quizzes and tests at school, so I didn't have such a problem. A problem I do have though is when family is being noisy, I can't watch anime. Which meant I tend to watch at midnight, even if it meant at the cost of losing sleep. Well... was a loner most of the time during highschool, so ofc I would value anime so much.
Neat.
Also neat.
And another.
+ another one.
And another one.
Then have one more.
Actually, have two more.

It's simple, whenever I know there will be tests I just don't watch anime and focus my time on studying.

I can't watch anime in peace when I know something bad will be coming like tests anyway.

Either by not studying due to not being a student anymore, and by not watching anime because I like video games more.

Time management would help me the most with juggling 2 or more activities. Usually just taking a good look at the Clock and telling myself... Ok I'll watch anime until *whichever time* and then move on to studying. (If I was studying). Usually I would have to get the itch out of wanting to watch anime or playing video games though before being able to concentrate on things like studying, otherwise those things would be in the back of my mind the entire time I'm trying to study.

To anyone struggling with watching anime and studying read this i promise you will find it useful. Ok the answer is to be aware of your time. i suggest if you do not have school on the weekends, you can use Friday as a day to let loose and even Saturdays and just study during the week Monday to Thursday and Sunday or watch anime on Saturday and study on Friday and Sunday. the point is, focus on your studies during the week so that you can have more time on the weekends. We actually have a lot of time to watch anime but we need to think carefully about how we do it. Guys the goal is to have a whole day where we can watch anime without feeling worried about school. Think of watching anime as a reward after working hard. I rhyme so it makes sense.
