Managing Your Study Time

2007-05-11T12:06:00.000+08:00

I remember when I still in school, my peers find it difficult to organise and manage their study time effectively. Probably due to lack of knowledge on how to do this, some students have the habits of studying at the last minutes, some even a few days before exam day!!

I found this artical about managing study time.. I hope you will have some use for it..

There are only so many hours in a day, a week, and a term. You cannot change the number of hours, but you can decide how to best use them. To be successful in school, you must carefully manage your study time. Here is a strategy for doing this.

Prepare a Term Calendar

At the beginning of a term, prepare a Term Calendar. Update it as the term goes on. Here is what to do to prepare a Term Calendar.

· Record your school assignments with their due dates and your scheduled tests.
· Record your planned school activities.
· Record your known out-of-school activities.
· Each Sunday before a school week, prepare a Weekly Schedule. Update it as the week goes on.

Here is what to do to prepare a Weekly Schedule.

Record your daily classes.

· Enter things to be done for the coming week from your Term Calendar.
· Review your class notes from the previous week to see if you need to add any school activities.
· Add any out-of-school activities in which you will be involved during the week.
· Be sure to include times for completing assignments, working on projects, and studying for tests. These times may be during the school day, right after school, evenings, and weekends.Each evening before a school day, prepare a Daily Organizer for the next day. Place a √ next to each thing to do as you accomplish it. Here is what to do to prepare a Daily Organizer.
· Enter the things to do for the coming day from your Weekly Schedule.
· Enter the things that still need to be accomplished from your Daily Organizer from the previous day.
· Review your class notes for the day just completed to see if you need to add any school activities.
· Add any out-of-school activities in which you will be involved the next day.

Your Weekly Schedule should have more detail than your Term Calendar. Your Daily Organizer should have more detail than your Weekly Schedule. Using a Term Calendar, a Weekly Schedule, and a Daily Organizer will help you make the best use of your time.

My Childhood Story..

2007-05-05T11:09:00.000+08:00

Growing up as a diplomat's daughter has its perks. One of it is that I get to study abroad and meet people from all corners of the world. I spent most of my childhood in Singapore. And there I met the most wonderful people who became my best and closest of friends. But unfortunately, I've lost touched with each and everyone of them. So I hope, with this website published, one or all of them will come across the website and get in touch with me. My only desire is to rekindle the old ties that has been lost and also to catch up what we've missed out.

So to all my childhood friends, get cracking and moving.. and start contacting!!

To any new potential friends.. hope you like this website.. it's just another puzzle to my life which has contributed to making me the person I am today.
