As exams are around the corner, many are trying their best to study and reach the finish line - Final Year Exams. But there are some that might give up near the finishing line, thus i hope students will not give up so easily and say "next time then study", but rather say "I will study now!"
1. Visualize far and put it in writing. Review your goal frequently. Your goal should be specific,realistic and able to achieve. There should be a time limit attach as well.
2. Try to do your planning at the same time every day. Use this time to review past accomplishments as well as future things to do.
3. Write out a To Do list every day. Include items that can be completed or still pending to do.
4. Separate your To Do list into A, B and C priorities. "A" items are important to your long term success, "B" may be urgent but not as important and "C" are those that would be nice to do if you have the time.
5. Start with the A items. Don't work on a C just because it's easy to do. Also, break your A items into small segment, so they're easy to accomplish.
6. Strike off items as you complete them to give yourself a sense of accomplishment!
7. Don't jam your day full of activities. Leave time for emergencies, special opportunities and thinking time.
8. Be your own manager. Ask yourself if you have met your goals, and what must you change in your plan to make you achieve them.
9. Do it now, don't procrastinate. Human tends to leave things done by saying "next time".
10. Always plan time for balance; include family, fitness, recreation and social activities.
Conduct a time study to see how you're doing and where the opportunities for improvement lies. Many people are only able to spend one quarter of their time on top priority activities. Moving this up to one third of the week means almost 4 more hours per week on key activities.
