The school year has begun and it’s easy to be frightened by so much schoolwork. Although
it may seem painful to sit down and make a study plan,it really can take away a lot of stress. Here are some tips on making a plan that you can follow:
A timetable will help you see how you spend your time every day. For a one- week period,take notes of your daily activities. Record things like when you are at work,school,or home with family. This way you can find days and times that can be devoted to studying.
Set priorities. First find out areas in which you’re strong and others in which you need more efforts. Then arrange your time accordingly.
Find your goals for each learning period,and develop a plan that can help you achieve those goals. Take into consideration tests,papers,and projects that will take more time than others. Be flexible. When exams are close,cut time on parties,cinemas,etc.,so that you can pay more attention to study.
If you can,find time for study by yourself and time for study with friends. Try to choose those who can spend time together with you and those who can help you with your weak subjects. One way to make you follow your plan is to find time for extracurricular activities,such as exercises,hobbies,and joining school clubs. When you are studying,remember to take breaks so that you won’t get bored. After some rest,you will get your mind more active for study.
