very student should devote a lot of time to his/her studies. But most of
you find it impossible to finish the given task or assignments, from where
then can you find time to study?
For this there is no magic formula but the formation of correct study
habits. This will keep you free from anxiety and give a feeling of
confidence.
I. Study conditions
-
Avoid all distraction: Do not let your mind wander or be distracted from
what you are doing. For this, select a quiet place.
-
Keep ready all the materials you might require close at hand so that you
do not waste time and energy looking for them.
-
Study under proper light, for poor light tires the eyes and you lose
concentration.
-
Have proper ventilation, for fresh air keeps the mind alert.
II. Make a plan for study
-
Keep in mind what you have to study, how much you have to study and how
much time you have. Have a balance between leisure and study. Organize a
time – table in such a way that you have fun and sufficient time for study.
“All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. “ Fun is essential because an
exhausted mind cannot absorb what you study.
-
Decide when to study and what to study. Make a weekly time table. It is
better to have short frequent period for each subject that long hours for
one. Start with interesting easy lessons/topics and then go on to difficult
lines unless they are interconnected.
-
Pay total attention to what you are studying. You will absorb more and
understand better.
-
Do not study when you are tired. Relax with something light for a short
while and come back to study. But do not confuse laziness with tiredness.
-
Understand the material you have to learn as a whole.
-
Re learn and revise previous lessons frequently. If you have learnt
mathematical formula or grammar rules practice their use as practice makes
one perfect.
-
Do not learn anything by heart. Read the chapter carefully, understand
the ideas and write the essential points.
-
Do not learn notes but get the most important points and put them down in
order, under headings and subheading.
-
During the weekend, set aside sometime to go over the week’s work
concentrating on points you had not grasped. Regularity and concentration
are the key words of success.
