As I head back to class for my fourth year of school, I feel very unprepared. I put off buying books and my class schedule wasn’t finalized till the 2nd week of classes. Life has gotten crazy fast! I tend to thrive on chaos, but this semester appears to be much more than I expected. I’m sure I am not the only one that feels overwhelmed so here are a few tips for staying on task and motivated:
- Read the textbook before class…you will feel less panic if you get called on
- Plan study time…don’t expect it to just happen
- Find a way to limit distractions….do you study better in your room or maybe the library?
- Create a To Do list…Being able to cross things off can be great motivation
- Schedule breaks….Your mind can only focus so long before you need to take a short breather
- Join a study group…It helps to have support
- Get sleep and eat breakfast….Your mind will work better with rest
- Don’t procrastinate…..This will only make you more stressed
Good luck everyone….hope you have a great semester!!!
