Study when wide awake

are alert.

Set goals for each subject
• Why? Because you will accomplish more, faster if you set specific goals.
• Example; 30mins to read history text.• If you start reading without a purpose
you may only get 9 pages read, but if you set a target to get 15 pages read in the time you probably will.

Start assignments as soon as they are given.• If you take nothing else away from this
talk bar this then you will have learned a lot.
• Do not allow homework/study/tasks to build up.
• Deal with everything as it arises; that way you are less likely to get stressed out.
• The quality of all your work is important and needs attention.

your time on easier/favourite subjects.
