Part 2

Choose Where to Study

Where you should study depends on two factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the type of work you are planning to do.

·        The best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desk space—usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library.

·        For completing problem sets or brainstorming possible test questions, you may want to study with a group or at least in a setting where fellow students are available to discussion.

·        When you are reading book chapters or working on a research paper, you are probably better off in a less social environment.

Improve Your Study Habits

Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:

·        Have a routine for where and when you study.

·        Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study sessions.

·        Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of the day.

·        Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but not absorbing it.

·        Get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact to ask questions.

·        Keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it.

Part 1

Develop Good Study Habits

In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college class are probably more rigorous than those you are used to.

You can succeed by knowing what to expect and how to handle it. Think of college as a full-time job, in which you spend 40 hours a week on class, labs, study groups and doing homework.

Being organized and using your time well are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your study skills.

Decide when to Study

Work out about how many hours you need to study every day. Then make a schedule.

·        Figure out what blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evenings and on weekends.

·        Consider what time of day you are most alert—there  are morning people and night owls—and try to schedule your studying accordingly.

·        Think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions.

Tips 5-10

5. Review your notes everyday                                        

                             Reviewing helps you reinforce what you’ve learned, so you need less time to study before a test. You’ll also be ready if you get called on in class or have to take a pop quiz.

6. get a good night’s sleep.

Your brain needs rest to perform at its peak. Lack of sleep makes the day seem longer and you tasks seem more difficult.

7. Communicate your schedule to others.

If phone calls or text messages are proving to be a distraction, tell your friends that you are only available on certain times of the day and not to expect a response at other times.

8. Become a taskmaster.

Give yourself a time budget and plan your activities accordingly. Figure out how much free time you have each week before you add any commitments.

9. Don’t waste time agonizing

Instead of agonizing and procrastinating, just do it.wasting an entire evening worrying about something you’re supposed to be doing is not productive, and can increase your stress.

10. Determine your priorities.

You can’t do everything at once. Establish the importance of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable

Habit 6

Synergize. Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “our way” or “your way”, but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergy allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward,  the delicious fruit you’ll taste

Learning to synergize is like trying to learn v formations with others instead of trying to go through life solo.a good band is an example of synergy.

5. Seek First to Understand, and then to be Understood

Because most people don’t listen very well, one of the great frustration in life is that many don’t feel understood. This habit will ensure your teen learns the most important communication skill there is: active listening.

Why is this habit the key to communication? It’s because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone wants to be respected and valued for who they are-a unique, one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-cloned individual. People won’t expose their soft middles unless they feel genuine love and understanding. Once they feel it, however, they will tell you more than you may want to hear. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Listen with your eyes, heart, and ears. 7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, or the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent) .

Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk than listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much as we talk. We actually learn more while listening rather than when we talk. Learn to listen and listen to learn.

Listen, really listen, for understanding.

Seek first to understand then to be understood-LISTEN

Habit 3: Put First Thing First

Habit three is about Will and Will Not power. This habit help teens prioritize and manage their time so that they focus on and complete the most important things in their lives. Putting first things first also means learning to overcome fears and being strong during difficult times. Its living life according to what matters most. Putting first things first deals with things that are: Important or not important , urgent or not urgent. Let’s look at the four quadrants of time management

Quadrant 4: Things that are not Important and Not Urgent

1.      Important & Urgent	2.      Important but not urgent
3.      Not important but urgent	4.      Not important not urgent

Quadrant 2 is the ideal place to speed our time, doing things that are important but not urgent. Here’s where prioritize come into play. The results for living Quadrant 2 are:

1.      Control of your life

2.      Balance

So, in what quadrant are you spending most of your time? The key is still to shift as much time as possible into Quadrant 2 and this is accomplished by planning. Spend more time planning and incorporating the most important things first, things that matter most. Keep your eyes on the prize and reach for it.

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions of feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness, and great things will come to you. Be Proactive and take the initiative.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

By Sean Covey

For teen, life is not a playground it’s a jungle. And, being the parent of a teenager isn’t any walk in the park, either. In his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problem they encounter daily.”

How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success or lack thereof? The life of a teenager is full of tough issues and life changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help them learn their goals and live a successful life.

While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives, “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say,” Covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential

Covey himself has done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen Covey, wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them.

10. Successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learned that time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in control of their life.

An elemental truth you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice, you can be lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. I study skills problems for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non – students! Procrastinators are good excuse – makers. Don’t make academic harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!

The 10 items listed above are paraphrased from an article by Larry M. Ludewig called Ten Commandments for Effective Study Skills which appeared in The Teaching Professor, December, 1992.
