How to Take on College Studying
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.

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

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

v  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:

v   Have a routine for where and when you study.

v   Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study session.

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

v   Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at the material and not absorbing it.

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

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

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 studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions.

10 Management Tips for Students

Tips 5-10

Tip 5. Review Your Notes Every Day.
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 a take a pop quiz.

Tip 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 your tasks seem more difficult.

Tip 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 at certain times of day and not to expect a response at other times.

Tip 8. Don’t Waste Your Time Agonizing
Instead of agonizing and procrastinating, just do it. Wasting an entire evening worrying about something that you’re supposed to be doing is not productive, and increases your stress.

Tip 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 7: Sharpen the saw

3) Heart: Always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful. When you do wrong, your conscience will prick you and create regretful sensations within your heart. When you do what you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass-it gives you direction and discernment. Just like a magnetic compass gives directions and paths you need to trod.

4) Soul: Study scriptures and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feed your spirit because your spirit needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditating, and reflecting are excellent Soul-sharpening activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspirations, concerns, and decisions in a diary or journal. Writing helps you focus and make good decisions.

Get into the habit of daily improving your body (physical fitness), your mind, your heart, and your soul.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens Habit 6: Synergize

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

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 “your way” or “my 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 as you get better at livings the other habits, especially at thinking Win=Win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you’ll go. Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: Learn to celebrate differences.

A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, it’s all of them together that make up the “sound.” Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens Habit 4 4. Think Win-Win

7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens

Habit 4

4. Think Win-Win

Teens can learn to foster the belief that is possible to create an atmosphere of Win-Win in every relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-Win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and tough all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed as well. Win-Win is abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. It’s not either you or me. It’s both of us. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of the pie. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all you can eat buffet.

Win-Win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking Win-Win is the good feelings it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking Win-Win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-Lose and Lose-Win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings.

Win-Win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win-Win or no deal.

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 1: Things that are important and Urgent

Quadrant 2: Things that are Important but not Urgent

Quadrant 3: Things that are Not Important but are Urgent

Quadrant 4: Things that are not important and Not Urgent

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

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

1. Control of your life

2. Balance

3. High performance

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

"The only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is -- 'I will form good habits and become their slaves.' "

Og Mandino



With good habits comes success. But with bad habits all you will ever have is failure. Like if you have a bad habit of not doing your homework you will never succeed in life. So it is always better do have good habits.

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

If teens aren’t clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand form, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal missions statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.

“Keep your eyes on the prize.” Determine you desired prize and quit until you have realized the achievement of your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind; know where you are going.

One prize or goal you definitely need to establish for yourself is the prize of a honorable graduation from high school –that you earned it with perfect honesty.

Habit 1: Be Proactive.

Being proactive is the to key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand and they are responsible for her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsibility for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters;  they don’t wait to 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

7 habits of highly successful Teens

By Sean Covey

For teens, 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 problems 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 to reach 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:
