Achievement, accomplishment,
completion, success, attainment, victory and everything that could be
associated with those words are reachable by means of one owns’ attention or
ability to focus. Concentrate and set your aim at the title you’re dying to reach.
It’s not bad to aim high. Just do it and do it with oozing confidence. Running
to reach your goals it is definitely not plausible that hindrances would not
pop out to interfere with your plans so you have to be firmly built in all
cases possible. Never let those challenges be the iceberg of your titanic.
It is
considerably true that focusing on studies is the student’s biggest problem
especially when stepping on collegiate life. I believe that there are times
that learning does not necessarily depend on the amount of time devoted to
study. A day can be spent studying a lesson but never should you ignore the
fact that you also have to give your beautiful mind a rest. I believe some of
you have encountered the moment that you got tired and irritated because of not
absorbing what you’re reading in spite of reading it a thousand times already.
What went wrong? It is definite that the focus you have set is dwindling. Our
degree of concentration surely determines the quality of our work results.
We can practice the art of making
our mind perform well without mentally wandering by practicing the following:
1.Do one thing at a time. Having low
grades in math? You should devote more time in that particular subject and stop
worrying about the memorization in history. When you are finished with it, then
it is the time to worry others. In that way you will learn better and faster in
a shorter allotted time.
2.Seat in front of the class. This really
is an effective tool for you to concentrate in class. This enables you to focus
on the professor in front of you without getting destruction from your blabby
seatmates.
3.Be aware of your appropriate time. You
know yourself better than anyone else. If you’re a morning person you should
set your study session at a.m. but if you’re a night owl, you should be
studying in the evening not unless you’re too tired. This would help you concentrate in your
studies since it is the peak of your brain power and enthusiasm.
4.Avoid day dreaming. While you are attending a class, you should
think of this as an inexcusable sin.
5.Set aside your problems. Leave all your
negative thoughts if you’re studying for it can be the greatest distraction of
your studies.

If you want something to get done but cannot be possibly done because of your infuriating mood swing of schedules, what would you do? Was there a moment wherein you were doing something and you failed to finish it because you recalled that something has to be done an hour ago? Have you had those kinds of events? Well if you want those happenings to be prevented, then, time management is the key my friend.
Time management, or the one that I’ve already
dubbed as my hero, pulls me out from falling on the verge of not accomplishing
anything. Ironing my things-to-do and labeling their significance mutually
keeps my time perfectly. If you have a pocket calendar with you then it is
almost safe for me to confabulate about you learning my techniques.
You’ll be
dealing with the 4 W’s. Specifically the what, when, why and who questions. Set
your plans on what needs to be done. As long and possible as you can, this
should be made in its most proper array. Determining your strengths and
weaknesses also answer the “what” question. If you’re a student, well, whether
you like it or not you have to lend time studying the subjects that make your
morale kneel to nil and make sure that the subjects you’re great at will remain
neutral. Organizing your schedule from the most to least
important-thing-to-be-done will bring us to our other question, when? Time is
golden so you alone should also have yourself a deadline. It definitely will
keep your frustration, from not successfully having your plan to happen, in
line. Knowing your priorities shall, I believe, answer the why question. This
has something to do with your plans’ scale weight. The heavier the plans, the
more you shall do everything to make it happen. The lighter the plans, the less
you’ll do to get it done. The schedule’s scale weight is not that much to
bother as long as you fight the urge of procrastinating.
I strongly
recommend one to arrange your plans accordingly. Trust me this will undeniably
save you from wasting your time resulting to remorse.

Life in
college has once made our toes tremble. Why? There are lots of reasons; (1) at
long last you have won the glory of embracing your independency in spite of
getting into the dreadful entrance of college life, (2) you’re going to be
conscious not only about yourself but also towards everyone you’re about to
meet because you think your attitude might not clique with your future friends
(not unless your attitude has proven to be affable), and (3) lastly - despite
not in the statement of knowing your adviser it freaks you out because you’re
stating such events beforehand.
College life is not to
fret about. I just thought of it as the battlefield of dreadful deadlines,
killer exams, and venomous essays - from hell. It’s not about exacerbating it
but I really did expect those kinds of silly things to at least prepare myself
from the lethal life I was about to
face.
It’s not that difficult to be
part of the institution just be aware of keeping your time preoccupied. Learn
how to cooperate with extracurricular activities of the college you are in. Not
only will you learn lots from it you’ll also know many people. Aside from
elongating your roots of connection you’ll also have the benefit of widening
the horizon of your knowledge. So give it your best shot and do everything you
can to prevent yourself from being a Wallflower.
