Blog# 7 Study Habits

When I study, sometimes I have a bit of trouble concentrating, being that I have a child. So what i like to do is study for 30min to an hour at a time. I say its better to pay attention for an hour practicing what you've learned opposed to spacing out, wasting time on nonsense and forgetting things. It also helps to study with a friend. That way you can combine notes and use each others brain and discussing what you learned. I think that helps to understand the material better. The most difficult part of studying is staying motivated. Every so often you should take some time out for fun. If you’re spending all your time working, studying, and watching after the kids, you’ll likely suffer in all areas. Everyone needs some down time to re-group. So, its good to set aside a little time every week for a favorite activity. Even if its just spending time with someone, just relaxing to relieve some stress. You’ll be more productive when you return to your work. Here are some tips on studying and staying organized
