◆Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating , sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. 2.A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.
◆Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
◆Make good use of your time in class. 3. Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
