Do you procrastinate instead of studying? Who doesn’t!
However, for school work procrastination can do a lot of damage. How do you overcome this common human weakness?
We’ve all heard it a hundred times: “Don’t put off till tomorrow what you can do today.” But sometimes it can be so tough to do!
Here are a few solid tips to fight against procrastination, and a procrastination-proof system to improve your learning.
First, the tips:
#1. Treat your studies as a full time job. You can’t be late to work or not show up at all. You do your assigned work promptly and neatly. The same applies to your school work.
#2. Tackle the work at hand immediately. If you put the tasks in your in-basket, they will be delayed.
#3. Make some “completion rewards” to put in your schedule. Treat yourself to something fun once you complete your study sessions. For example, use the 50-10 method on your study session – study 50 minutes and break for 10 minutes.
#4. Resist the temptation of TV watching, web surfing and iPod listening. Move yourself into a separate study zone for core study where you will not be distracted. This will help you study less and learn more.
#5. Learn to just say “no” to your friends and family who might spoil your study schedule. Prioritize your life and plan your schedule around it. You can be sure and work them in as a reward for getting through a certain amount of studying like we talked about above.
#6. Avoid multi-tasking while studying. When you are doing core study, a single-focused mind is required to effectively retain information. Forget about your multi-tasking talent for now.
#7. Divide and conquer. Break a seemingly large task into smaller ones, your studies will be easier to handle and you will get more done. Schedule smaller and better-defined tasks daily or even hourly.
#8. Adopt a learning system. This is the last yet the most important tip. Follow a systematic learning method step by step. When you can systemize your routine study, there will be no more cramming, and no more procrastination!
Lastly, here is a procrastination-proof system – the Rapid Learning System. Using the divide-and-conquer idea, the rapid learning system breaks each course into 24 tutorials, one hour per each tutorial, all in 24 hours, with rich media and smart teaching. With subjects broken down so simply even if you did procrastinate you’ll be able to make a come back and be prepared for your exams.
Procrastination is the thief of time. Fight back with rapid learning math and science tutorials – study less and achieve more:
Where is your study zone? Is it a cubicle in the library or a desk at home?
For some reason, one of the most widely misinterpreted physics terms is acceleration. This term is used all the time in introductory physics classes. It refers to the rate of change of velocity of an object. People often mistake acceleration as the same thing as velocity.
Next time you’re hit with a wave of exhaustion, try these tips:
calculation in chemistry. In some cases, the molecular formula and empirical formula of a given molecule are identical. However, in many cases, the molecular formula is different from the empirical formula. For example, CH is the empirical formula and C6H6 is the molecular formula. Be aware.
For many, being a smart student seems to require a lot of hard work. You expect to have to spend more study time and work harder.
The correct answer is …. COMMUNICATION
Today we’re talking about cramming. I don’t think I will be very popular among my teaching colleagues for showing you how to cram. But, let’s face it, we have all done it and been there before. The tricky question is – do you know how to cram effectively?
Have you ever wondered if there was a faster and easier way to learn a subject, rather than crawling through a long and tedious textbook?
