Study Habits"




There's no shortcut to success at school. Sooner or later, you have to study. Granted, that very word might have an unpleasant ring to it. However, study is beneficial. In fact, with a little effort, you may find it enjoyable. To cultivate good study habits, you will need to organize your time.
Suggestions:

>
Find a study area. It should be free of distractions. Use a desk if possible. Don't have the TV on.
>
Set priorities. Since your schooling is important, resolve that you won't turn on the TV until your homework is done.
>
Don't procrastinate. Have a definite schedule for your homework, and stick to it. >Have a plan. Decide which project you should tackle first, which one second, and so forth. List these on the paper, and give each one a limit. Cross off each assignment as you complete it.
>Take breaks. If you find yourself losing focus, stop for a brief rest. But get back to your homework as soon as possible.
>
Have confidence in yourself. The difference between a good student and a poor one usually has more to do with diligence than intelligence. You can make a success of school. Put forth the effort, and you will reap the rewards.
