A goal is a dream with a deadline.”
~ Napoleon Hill
Over the years, it has been recorded that students create time to play, time to eat & time to communicate with friends but they don’t create time to prepare for their studies. When to prepare, is the time table that contains the students plans before his exams. For you to know when to prepare for your studies, you must understand the following points: “Goals that are not written down are just wishes. With planning, you build your future”
Setting a plan: it helps you to know which areas you have covered when studying. Any student that have a plans for his studies, have direction. As a student, create a table plan that contains all the subject courses you are studying or preparing for an exam. With the table plan, you know your weak point. You have a focus. A life without plans on how to do his work is a life without focus & direction. The success of your exams is actualized from the plans you created. God’s words on planning.
“For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it?” Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.'”Or what king, when he sets out to meet another king in battle, will not first sit down and consider whether he is strong enough with ten thousand men to encounter the one coming against him with twenty thousand? (Luke 14:28-31)
As you prepare for your exams, planning is the starting point to have a good result.
“Whatever you have in your table plans, your time setting can create anything you want in your future”
Prov. 21:5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.
§ Setting the time: it helps you to know when to start or stop your study. It helps you to know when your result will be out. It helps you to know how many programmed you can run at a time. It also helps you to have a priority on your plans.
For you to have a successful result, from your exam, you must set the time on how to study your books.
§ How to study and understand: as a student, there are different time and period for your studies. It can only work when you have set the time. Some students set their study time, to be in the morning, in the noon, in the evening and some set it to be at midnight hours. But understand that no students study hours / periods are the same.
Eccle.3:1. To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
For you to study and understand you must know which of your time setting are conducive to you and when will your brain and mind will concentrate to your studies. From the above hour of study listed, you have to choose the preferred period you can study and understand without distraction.
Note: when there is distraction or noise to your study, there will be no focus and concentration of the mind.
For you to study and understand with your time setting, you must set and create the time for all your subject courses. There are some subjects which you have to create more time for study before you can easily understand them. There are some subjects you have to create little time for study. It depends on your long team memory and short team memory.
