Get your school supplies ready.Another thing that I love about schooling is the new school supplies. Always see to it that you have your essentials such as paper, notebooks and pen. Keep a record on your textbooks and always place them in your study area free from harm or damage. Try to use a bag that fits your school supplies pretty well and yet you will still feel comfortable.
-
Asks for your Academic Calendar or Year at a Glance.This is available to any school so asking your professor or teacher will be very fine. You can also direct this inquiry to the official website of your school. Through the academic calendar you’ll have an idea on the important dates such as examinations, celebrations and those that are officially with no classes. You can have this as your first basis on studying too.
-
Keep a planner.Or even just an ordinary notebook where you can list your daily tasks and minutes of the meeting you attend to. I know that a planner may not be of an importance during the school life but if you can generate one then do so. It is important grow the idea of productive living as early as possible so that everything will just come naturally once you start living the real world.

Do some Advance Reading and Advance Study Notes.Take advantage of weekends and holidays and do some advance reading on textbooks and lessons that you find hard time dealing with. You can also have an extra notebook and keep an advance study notes with the new learning that you get. I learned this technique when I was in High School and it truly works. Once the actual lesson comes up you’ll be more confident because you knew you had study well.
-
Create a Study Routines.Creating study routines are important because they will be the very things that you will look forward to every morning. A lot of study routine ideas are found in Pinterest.
-
Do create a TIMELINE of the day and time each of your classes occur. You can put this on your planner or print multiple copies to paste on your notebooks. This is ideal so you’ll know what day a class will take place.
-
Do schedule your study time on your prime time. If you are a morning person then study in the morning just right after a hearty breakfast. You can also wake up way earlier than the usual to enjoy a productive day with your school projects or assignments. Always study in the time that you have the most energy with.
-
Don’t procrastinate. Get the important things done as early as possible. Don’t give room for procrastination to take place. Beat procrastination by setting a study goals. Your goals can be as high as becoming the year-end valedictorian or summa cum laude or as common as finishing the due essay at exactly 2pm.
-
Do review your notes. What you write in your notebook should not be forgotten. Take time right after school to read what you have written in your notebook. This means you need a good note-taking method to capture everything that the professor or the teacher will say.
-
Don’t stress yourself. If everything becomes overwhelming and too much for you to handle then call a help. There are always a way to keep everything in order. Have a focus in your student life.
- Don’t be too serious that you forget to have fun. You need to enjoy your student life too so give yourself a room to be happy. Have a hobby or a skill that you can develop and find happiness with. School life is a very nice season to know your talents that could make you rich in a short period of time.
