Do you really believe that time is your greatest enemy? If you pause to think you will realize that your greatest enemy is yourself! Time can be managed and harnessed to your needs if you will but plan your schedules and stick to them.

All of us are aware that we have to sit for an exam at the end of the semester or the year as the case may be. We dismiss the need for preparation on the ground that there is plenty of time. Later we realize that time has passed and we have very little leisure in which to cram for the exam. Would it not be better if one could plod through our lessons at a steady pace in an organized and well charted manner? Organize your semester by plotting on a large calendar-the due dates for assignments, tests, and lessons. Set goals for yourself that spread out through the six month or one year period and cross off each goal post as you reach it. Tasks will be smaller and more manageable and you will cease to feel pressured about your examinations.

Keep weekly reading schedules and stick to them. Take notes while reading and jot down memory joggers. This has no substitute. Once these have been done, they can be used again and again for revising a topic till you are perfect! It will save the time required for reading the topic all over again.

Use diagrams and flow charts wherever possible. Visual representation is a more powerful memory aid than verbal clues. Review the notes before every class and burn the image of the topic flow into your mind by repeated visits to the page.

If you must research on a topic, then it is better to plan the course of work at the beginning of the year. Take extensive notes and create your visual aids, verbal aids and use your creative mind to arrive at unusual perspectives in thinking. This will save you stress and strain just before your examination.

Finally, Plan enough time for study and plan to study at the same time everyday. Using the free time during school hours for quick study on a topic is a good idea and if this study period follows a class, it will reinforce learning and will save you time and energy required to study the topic. Plan for weekly self reviews and build in enough flexi time for unscheduled activity!

These suggestions will not make you a super efficient person, but they will aid you in bringing some discipline into your study schedules. It is you who can make a difference to your study schedules. Even the best planned schedules can fail, if you do not concentrate and focus upon achieving the goals you have set for yourself. So plan to study and study as per plan.
