Oh, boy. This again.
I’m going to be frank with you. Don’t listen to the thousand of nonsensical stories of going from “D to A+” or “Ten habits to get you straight As in three months”…
Step 1 - Get rid of tech….warps your mind….kills brain cells…….
Step 2 - Sleep? Na, bruh, you don’t need that ……
…….blah blah blah. DON’T LISTEN TO THAT CRAP.
You know why? That’s what probably “works” for them based on their lifestyle and the habits that they possess. In fact, I don’t even think you need to be totally organized to achieve high marks. Just a little diligent.
I am going to tell you what the best way to get high marks is. And I guarantee you, it works without you sacrificing your life and draining your soul by sleeping less than 6 hours a day as some suggest. There is no secret recipe/brain type/race/or social group to achieving high marks.
Then only thing you have to do, is be DILIGENT. Yeah, one word. That’s it. Diligence.
You know when the teacher is standing at the front, breaking his/her back, writing on that damned chalk board? Look at them. Not at friends or that girl/guy you think is cute for the entire lesson.
When you are assigned a task, do it. Seriously, 40% of your problems are solved when you actually do your homework. Now I’m not saying sit up for four hours a night doing homework - that’s insane. But attempt a piece for every single section of a particular topic you are being taught for a particular subject. Whehn you have questions, ask the teacher before they complete the topic and move over.
Finally, read everything assigned to you during the course of the semester. A little bit every day, or per week. When it comes close to examinations, you just have to do minimalist revision. Cramming is not required when you are diligent.
Also, remember that amount of hours put in don’t matter. It’s the quality of then hours that you do put in that matter.
That person who goes to bed at 11pm at night saying “ We get so much of homework, it’s so hard to cope…” etc is probably sitting at a desk for five hours, texting for 4 of them. Why do I say this ? Because I used to be one of them.
Don’t beat yourself up looking for a secret formula when the formula is contained within yourself. You only need apply it
