Break Free from Your Faulty

Study Habits
1. Studying for the sake of doing it
When was the last time you asked yourself, “Why I am
studying?” What do I intend to gain from it?
You have to clarify your intention or even your motivation
because if you cannot see the point in studying, it will only
make it boring and tedious. If your intention is clear, then
studying can be meaningful for you.
2. Studying by Impulse
Have you experienced doing your homework, reviewing for an
exam and doing your project without analyzing how they should
be prioritized and scheduled?
If so, then, you must have felt overwhelmed, stressed or
anxious how to do it all at the same time.
You try to enumerate the things to do, rank them according to
date of submissions or even the time needed to do it.
3. Studying Long but Still Unproductive
You need to be mindful what time of the day you’re mind works
well and very receptive to learn.
Notice yourself when you are at your best reviewing and in doing
your project. Also the physical set up, deadlines and heath
condition.
4. Organizing all requirements and tasks before
you start doing them
Naturally, your teachers will give you assignments, projects,
paper works, exams and many more. If you let those things pile
up, you are creating a gigantic opponent that will soon knock you
out.
Once the tasks are given to you, include them in your calendar
as part of your schedule on a particular day. In this way, you are
doing it in piecemeal which prevents you from harboring fear of
failing the subjects.
5. Dismissing things that you don’t understand
There are times that teachers ask you, “Do you have any
questions, class?” and everyone would say “None.” The truth of
the matter is, it’s either they just want to end the lesson and do

something else or they totally got the lessons.


However, there are times that test scores say otherwise.
Because you missed that opportunity to clarify or unlock your
difficulty, it resulted in a failing score.
You have to be particular on the things that you don’t
understand in a lesson and have the initiative to deal it with your
teacher during or even after classes. Asking help from your high
performing classmates would also facilitate your comprehension.
6. Having random notes and confusing learning space
Have you experienced writing notes on a random paper or
notebook? It is definitely not a good practice for someone who
wants their thoughts organized. It will give you difficulties to
retrieve your lessons and add up to your tasks. Delegating a
certain folder or notebook for each subject will make you
segregate and organize the lessons well. It is also important to
take notes of the modules/ learning kits as you read. Your
notes will help you remember the good points you may need
during examinations. Without notes, you will need to re-read
and review the entire modules before the test. Your notes will
help you save time and easily recall the main points.
7. Having a crunch time for the exams the next day
You might have experienced trying to absorb all the lessons for
a long test or even important performance task the next day.
It’s like you are getting food that are hard to chew. Making it
tidbits by setting time to concentrate and focus on certain
parts of the test coverage would make your life easier. It pays
to be organized and disciplined in carrying out these things.
8. Multi-tasking while studying
It’s typical nowadays for some learners like you to go online on
social media, watch TV or even listen to music while studying.
For some, they claim that it works for them but it actually
prevents them from being 100% focused. Try to remove
distractions from your study area and be mindful of what
you’re doing. You will get to appreciate the details, and even
the areas for improvement if you are doing a school project or
readings. You will also easily understand the concepts and
ideas of the lessons if you turn off your TV, music, social
media or anything that distracts you.
9. Repeating the ineffective study habits and mistakes

If you already know that certain actions or behavior do not


help you to get good grades, why still do it in Grade 10? By now,
you can project how the patterns of your action lead you to a
certain result. You have to make use of those insights and avoid
putting yourself in a problematic situation. Hence, the courage
and willingness to break those ineffective study habits and
upgrade the effective ones.
