SUCCESS MANTRA FOR STUDENTS - TIPS TO MANAGE TIME....:)

Studying is a big commitment and needs time to work on it. Managing time is the best way for students to succeed. By managing your time, other commitments can be fulfilled and you can study without distractions. But finance and child care are serious problems. I found that the only way to get good grades was by doing less paid work so that I had more time for my studies. The problems are real, but make your action plan for the week and stick to it. This will help you study and deal with your other responsibilities in the best way.

You need to balance time. If you are bad at balancing things make a personal timetable. Even if you do not stick to it, you will have an idea what you should be doing each day. This is better than trying to do everything each day and, at the end of the week, not achieve anything.

• Choose a degree you are generally interested in rather than studying for the sake of having a degree. You will learn more because you are interested in the subject.
  
  

• Always look at your assignments as a challenge rather than saying "it is too hard". A task thought of as too hard can slow you down to a standstill. The same task thought of as a challenge can spur you on.
  
  

• It is best to keep up with your work. A timetable should be arranged each week, to ensure that you do not fall behind.
  
  

• You should be aware of all your assignments and deadlines from the earliest stages of each Class/Semester. You can make a calendar for each module, stick on the wall in your room, where you can refer to it as and when the need arises.
  
  

• If you organise your studies around the important outside commitments you have, such as work and family, you will find that you can cope quite well with what is expected of you.
