IMPORTANCE OF PRIORITY: First of all, check the chapters with the highest weightage and the longest one. Your priority should be like you must start learning them first as they will consume more time.

TO-DO-LIST: Everyday make a list of things you need to do the next day. Plan your To-do-list and arrange a time for study, relaxation, and physical activities.

KEEP DISTANCE FROM THE THINGS WHICH DISTRACT YOU: It is important to stay away from the things which distract you while studying. To maintain concentration while studying avoid mobile phone and internet by keeping them at a distance.

NO HARM IN SAYING NO: If your family and friends ask you to spend time with them and you have not completed your syllabus. Say no to them because it is important for you to finish up your syllabus first by taking breaks in between when necessary.

HAVE PRACTICAL EXPECTATIONS: Keep your goals and aims practical which could be fulfilled. Practical goals will help you stay motivated when you achieve them and will not lead to disappointment.

ASSIGN EXTRA TIME: Your plans may not be always as you want them to be, you must be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances by assigning extra time. When you will try to complete your studies in a hurry this will not help you grasp anything except wastage of time and energy.

USE A CALENDAR: A calendar can be the best thing to plan your day. It will make it easier for you to remember things and help you to set a reminder of how much time you need to devote to a particular task. Setting up a calendar on your phone or laptop could help you ensure that you stick it to be regular.

SELF – SATISFACTORY: Whenever you think you have completed your task, treat yourself for it. Indulge yourself in something that you enjoy doing; it could be watching TV, taking a walk, calling your friend or listening to music. These little things will ensure your brain is relaxed and charged for studying again after a short break.

FOCUS ON THE TASK: When you are so strong willed to achieve a certain goal that you even forget how much time has passed by – that is known as ‘flow’. Flow makes it simple for you to be motivated towards the goal and increases your eagerness towards putting your heart and soul without any distractions, into something you want to achieve. It creates an atmosphere that allows you to focus on the task.

TAKE PROPER REST: While studying your body is stressed or tired, which will decrease the efficiency of your brain to learn things and lower your concentration level. So, it is important to give yourself a minimum sleep of eight hours every day.
