After much thinking, I decided to compile a list to make stuff better for myself and you, the reader-
1) Stop procrastinating
Procrastinating is the act of delaying important activities for a later time. It mostly never gets completed.
People often tell me to make schedules or timetables to solve my problem of excessive gaming but I never seem to be able to comply to the table. There is no consequence for failure to do a task. My class, during value education class, discussed ways to prevent procrastination and we concluded that that we can prevent it by:
a) Downloading app locks which completely block opening apps on mobile phones for a while
b) Tell parents to make consequences for failure in doing tasks or chores
c) Do the worst task in the morning, forcibly if possible so you're free for the rest of the day
d) Crave finishing work to be free so that time does not seem to go by so 'slowly'
2) Set incentives
I've previously written a blog on setting incentives
Example: If you finished a chapter of economics today, you get to play video games for 2 hours or go out for dinner. if not, then suffer the consequences (1.b)
3) Get proper sleep
This is, as funny as it may be, a real problem! I cannot study half the time because I sleep at 12:30 am and wake up at 6:30 am for school. My best suggestion is to come home and sleep for an hour or if you can, sleep during English literature or another boring subject.
4) Be enthusiastic
Ryan thinks studying is fun. Ryan is cool |
Make studying fun. Use highlighters of all colours, make jokes out of the things you study and make acronyms or sing the words of the definition of 'national wealth'. This is really helpful and also helps you sing better in front of the public.
summing up
a) Procrastinating sucks so always finish your work first then do your time pass and even if you don't get time to play, Always remember that you'll be the only one who finished homework.
"A stitch in time saves nine"b) Make your garden weed itself by setting incentives for you to work at and consequences for failure.
c) Sleep well because if you can't be awake, the day is as good as wasted
"Sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite"d) Enjoy studying. It is not as bad as it seems and the more you do it, the better you become. Studying harder a lot does not make you uncool or a nerd but it makes you rich.
