Being a student is hard work. Trying to figure out how to manage your school work with extracurricular activities can be difficult task at hand. Here I give you a few tips on how to have a stress free week at school!
 
Goals:


Specific goals provide both motivation and focus, identifying a target for our actions.
Goals must be crisp and clear, measurable by time and date. 
 
Vague Goals:

“I’m going to be a better student this semester”
“I’m going to study more”
“I want a better GPA”

Specific, measurable goals:

“Every Tuesday and Thursday, in the 90 minute gap between my English and History classes every, I will review my Biology flash cards and generate new flash cards.”
“Every Monday and Wednesday morning, I will work out from 7:30 to 8:30.”
“I will review and type up my History notes each day after class."

Focus and Concentration:

Maintaining focus is a success skill which proves challenging for even the most capable students
When you are trying to seriously engage your academic work . . .

  1. Find a place to study that you use only to study.  Treat it as a place of action and attention, free from your usual electronic or social distractions.
  2. Eliminate noise and sound distractions.
  3. Close out all computer programs except the one(s) you need for the immediate task at hand.
