Timothy Here Again,
The May 2021 Support Class is getting interesting and I must confess our students are doing everything in their power to study and get ready for the exams.
As you study in this ever-changing world, there are many things demanding your attention. If you are not careful, you will end up procrastinating on your studies.
Sesi is a classical example. During our conversation in September 2020, In her own words. “I end up procrastinating and spending my entire schedule on my phone when I have to study. I am really scared of myself. I seriously need help. What can I do?”
First of all, like I told Sesi, let me assure you that this is completely normal if you are experiencing the same thing. Every student has faced this when it comes to studying. The underlying problem is not the phone, it is the unwillingness to study. If you really don’t want to read study a word, trust me you’ll find thousands of reasons to procrastinate.
Now, your smartphones are addictive, because they’re filled with millions of things, and you constantly want to know what’s going on. It can be surfing through social media, playing games like candy crush, scrolling down your playlist or photos, or simply just checking the screen for any notifications. It becomes exhausting if you don’t learn to control yourself.
Like I told Sesi, What I’d advise you to do is take just a few minutes from your studies and from your phone.
- Take a notebook and pen, sit down and remind yourself why you’re studying. I know this will sound trivial a bit, but you gotta do it someday.
- Ask yourself – what do I want to become in life? And NO, this is NOT the ‘age-old’ question about your career and success. Don’t think about your career, that is the later part. First, think about what you want to become as a person, what purpose you see in yourself.
If you want to earn respect, put your best self in front of everyone, if you want people to see you as a smart, kind and confident person, you have to work hard to achieve all that.
- Remind yourself that you don’t need to study just for passing the exams, you must study so that you train your brain and make it sharper every day. Challenge yourself – how do I learn this chapter in my own way? How much do I know that I can find the easiest way to remember things? Work on that, make learning interesting, and you will not only study with passion, but also learn yourself better.
- Bombard yourself with questions about your future self (again, not with respect to your earnings and social status, but how you want people to perceive you) and your mind will give you the existential crisis that you’ll need in order to put aside your procrastinating traits and really focus on studying.
Make sure you remind yourself how useless you are whenever you waste your time scrolling through social feeds, and you’ll be surprised at how your brain treats it as an insult and pushes you to do something productive.
For your note, Sesi got her Simplified and Comprehensive Lecture Videos ➕ Q&A, followed the above advice and now she is at the professional level. Because she passed PM and FR which have been holding her for over 5 diets now.
To my surprise, she has even started studying Advanced Taxation and Corporate Reporting using Simplified and Comprehensive Lecture Videos ➕ Q&A before the result was released. Such confidence and faith are rare.
