10 Study Habits to Start Now…
I don’t like to study. I absolutely dread it, but I know that it has to be done in order for me to be successful in school. Here’s my list of 10 study habits to start now with the help of which you will have successful study sessions…
1. Plan Your Work
Map out all of your assignments that are due. I use highlighters and each color represents the importance of the assignment and it helps me plan my work better. Use a calendar and write the assignments under the due dates and 2 weeks before that due date, prepare for that assignment. This allows yourself time to study as well keep the assignment fresh in your head.
2. Talk to your teacher
Keeping open communication will help you better understand the assignments when you study. Engage in conversations about the subject with the teacher. Make it a one on one session with light coffee talk, so that it doesn’t feel like your being grilled or it’s a study session.
3. Find a place to study in peace
Home doesn’t always work and neither does the library. I find parks, and places with water help me to study, especially during my exams. Water is so calming and a quiet park can be relaxing!

2.) I always checked in with my teachers and often found them better to talk to than my peers.
3.) I prefer to study in my room but I listen to music to drown out my siblings and other noises…..I got into that habit and now prefer to study with music…silence is actually more bothersome to me now. Infact sometimes too much silence is a bad thing too.
4.) Doesn’t everyone at least stop and think about what they read, summarize it in your head and ask yourself questions? That is called comprehension as in understanding what you read?
5.) This makes sense but you can go a step further and eat a snack during which is rewarding yourself for doing the right thing or for finishing a chapter or a set of math problems.
6.)I do to do lists for big projects and get the easier assignments out of the way and then do a little of the bigger projects each day following the to do list….startng with research (which is easy now with the internet) to making it artsy and “mine.” I also start with an angle that is fun on the project like say I like drawing so I might start with a poster……
7.)Goals, Goals, Goals! Doesn’t everyone have them?
8.) I REALLY do this a lot. It’s how I understand the material except I also do it in short hand on note cards and briefly go through them before the test because I have an awesome short term memory. Generally I write a lot of notes during class because I can understand it better in a shorter format than the expanded one often used by other people.
great tips, and i always say find a buddy in your classes. contrary to popular belief, i get more done if im ... See more in class with a friend because i wanna actually go to class lol. and this way, if one of us misses it – NOTES! lol
