10 Time Management Tips for Students


10 Time Management Tips for Students
Tips 5-10
Tip 5 Reviews 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 to 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 the day and not to expect a response at other times.
Tip 8 Become a Task maker.
Give yourself a time budget and plan your activities accordingly. Figure out how much free time you have each week before you add any comments.
Tip 9 Don’t Waste 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 can increase your stress.  
Tip 10 Determine Your Opportunities.
You can’t do everything at once. Establish the importance of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable.
Choose The Right!!!

Habits of Highly Successful Teens Habit 5


 Habits of Highly Successful Teens
Habit 5
5. Seek First to understand, and then to be understood
Because most people don’t listen very well, one of the great frustrations in life is that many don’t feel understood? This habit will ensure your teen learns the most important communication skill there is: active listening

Why is this habit the key to communication? It’s because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone wants to be respected and valued for who they are—a unique, one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-cloned individual. People won’t expose their soft middles unless they feel genuine love and understanding. Once they feel it, however, they will tell you more than you may want to hear. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Listen with your eyes, heart and ears. 7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, or the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent). Most people are eager to talk and had rather than listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much as we should talk. We actually learn more while listening rather than when we talk. Learn to listen and listen to learn.

Listen, really listen, for understanding.
Seek first to understand then to be understood—LISTEN.
Choose The Right!!!
