        5 Tips for Effective Study Time at home

        by Leave a Comment

        Do you find it difficult studying all by yourself?

        Is it so difficult for you to study at home, especially during holidays or in a curfew? These five tips for effective study time will set you up for good and help your study more at home.

        Studying at home can be very difficult, especially for those who are used to studying in groups – either with friends or course mates.

        First, you have to deal with the distractions at home and then struggle with being motivated amidst comforts surrounding you.

        Without much story, below are the most effective strategy to keep yourself motivated and study even harder at home.

        Tips for Effective Study Time at Home

        Motivation is what sets you in motion, habit is what keeps you going

        Jim Rohn

        1. Establish a Morning Routine

        Studying at home may actually not be your thing, but if you have a lot to cover and you are stuck at home then you don’t have a choice.

        The first thing to do is to re-establish a morning routine as quick as possible. See that you wake up the same time you use to wake every morning and prepare just like you are going to school.

        Do just the same thing you would have done if you were to go to school, pack your back bag, dress nice then prepare your mind to study.

        If this is established you will certainly feel the same vibe you feel while in school.

        2. Create a Designated Study Area

        The next thing to do is to create a special place for your study.

        Not everywhere in the house will serve you for effective study time. You might be tempted to study from your bed or living room – never give in, that is not a good idea.

        Instead create a study area that resembles the type you have in school. It can be a reading table and sit, placed in a quiet and strategic place with less distractions, then get all your study material in place.

        Your environment matters, an environment meant for rest and leisure can not encourage productivity.

        3. Organize your Study Goal

        For effective study, you must organize your study goals and aim. Make sure you plan and know what you want to achieve for the month, week, and day. You can come up with a to-do list or schedule for areas to study. Use organizing apps like google calendar on your phone to organize your days.

        4. Stay Connected with Other Scholars

        Even if you don’t feel contacting your colleagues is necessary, it is a wonderful idea to keep in touch with some them and stay up-to-date on their progress with study while keeping them up to date on yours. This way you can serve as a motivation to each other and in turn achieve more goals.

        5. Take Breaks for Mind Refreshment

        Taking breaks is good for maximum productivity. It reduces stress – “You can’t come and kill yourself”.

        It is okey if you want to spend quality time studying, but one or two – 5 mins breaks between an hour will be good for your mind and improves assimilation.

        Also I recommend you also take a very active fun breaks, not just scrolling through social media feeds but taking a real fun time.

        6. Maintain your Normal Study Hours (Bonus)

        If your normal study time is 3 hours, stick to it. You are already used to it and it works for you. There is no point working yourself out because you have more free time. It is easier to maintain your habits than to build new ones.

        3 Things Successful Students do to succeed

        by Leave a Comment

        Do you want to be exceptional at school? here are simple things successful students do to succeed in school.

        I don’t know about you, but every students i have met wants to succeed.

        If not to be the top in their field, at least they want to graduate with a presentable GP, one they can use to get a job.

        Generally, being a scholar is difficult and to succeed in any field of study at all – you must be a hardworking and dependable student.

        How you study determines the quality of the results you will obtain. Thus, your ability to develop and maintain good habits for studying determines your grade and by extension the opportunities that will come your way.

        It will as well determine how much satisfaction you will get from everything you learn in school and provide you with useful skills that can be used in real life situations (labour market).

        Unfortunately, most students are unfocused, unorganized, easily distracted and in all, make bad decisions when it comes to studying.

        Even when they want to be a better scholar, it seems so far from possibility; and they just can’t do it without some guidance.

        If you find yourself in this category of scholars, i have got your back.

        Things Successful Students do Differently

        To be a successful student, you must do what other successful students do.

        To begin with, these three words are the summary of how to meet that standard.

        – Focus, Concentration and Positive Mind Set.  

        Let me break them down.

        Focus

        Focus here means to be single minded.

        It demands that you have deep clarity of the intended goal, (either it is to solve a math problem or to summarize a book) and the steps involved in hitting the goal and then taking those steps.

        Therefore, to join the successful scholars you must learn to continually adjust your activities and be sure you are working every moment on the most important task that aims at your goal.

        Note this, successful students understands that the worst waste of time is doing something very well, that shouldn’t have to done at all.

        Concentration – The Best of things successful students do

        Pics from Unsplashed.com

        Concentration simply means to stay with a task until you finish it.

        I call this, the finishing skill.

        It is your ability to remain on that assignment until you get it all done. To remain on that code, until you’ve got all bugs removed.

        This is one thing successful students do, and it is an inevitable habit if you most join the top 10% in your field.

        Here, you must be sure that everything you do is taking you in the direction of your set goals or it is helping you develop the skill to get there.

        Understand that the benefits of concentration can never be overemphasized. When you concentrate and finish a task, it releases dopamine, that serves as a source of enthusiasm and self-esteem which ultimately propels you to do more.

        By now you should know that when tasks are partially completed, they cause stress.

        Also, when you concentrate and finish a particular assignment for example, it gives you that feeling of confidence and competence. You feel like you now know more.

        It shows likewise that you are disciplined and have self-control.

        I did like to say this here,

        Developing a finishing still is an essential part of character building, which will help you not only at school but also at work and in your relationships/family.

        Positive Mind-Set

        You must have heard this countless times.

        One way to go about this skill is to always feed your subconscious mind with the picture of you completing your tasks and being focused like never before.

        Playing the image of the joy that comes with being successful regularly to your mind long enough till it becomes part of your life is a great way to foster concentration and focus.

        The more you paint those pictures, the more your subconscious self records it exactly as if it were happening for real.

        It gradually adjust your words, actions and behavior so that they align with the pictures you create on the inside.

        If you always think of yourself of being confident and accurate in your lines of code, your mind establish the same into your self-concept.

        (i often tell people that, while i do well in mathematics is because i never imagined myself missing any step. – i just know am right).

        The same way i imagine myself as performing great when solving my math problems, that is how rapidly it became my automatic behavior with other courses.

        I programmed myself for success just by feeding my mind with positive pictures, either from my past success or by simply creating an awesome successful and powerful image i love.

        In conclusion, focus, concentration and feeding your mind with the right and successful images are major things successful students do that you probably have not been doing.
