MY STUDY HABIT
One of the greatest things about a good study habit is that it doesn't require much discipline. For me, the habit it can be easy, enjoyable and completely natural. So developing good study habits is as much about developing something enjoyable as it is about getting on with important work. Once I start doing a good habit, I will automatically begin to associate it with the rewards it brings. Start studying a little every day, and I will start getting better results. Develop the habit of eating well, andI will feel healthier and my mind will be clearer. The natural connection I make between hard work and results, will help the motivation develop itself.
I like to work every day, 7 days every week. For most people this is not desirable or even practical. But since I currently work at home it makes sense. Since I don't head off to university, or to work, I associate home with work. The weekends are the same as any other day for me. My computer still works, my books can still be read, and I can still think just as clearly. It is far easier for me to keep up the same routine as in a normal weekday, and then just make my workdays shorter.
Since I am involved in the same routine everyday, it is easy and I don't think about it. The whole process is automated, and it would actually be difficult for me to sit down in front of the television and watch rubbish all day. I'm not programmed to do that. However, I can still take time off. There are a few triggers that distract me from my work: If a good film comes on I can stop and watch that; if a friend comes round I'll spend time with them; or I can go out and leave my work completely behind. If any of these things happen I completely stop thinking about my work and I go and enjoy myself. But when I am at home on my own, my default programming is to work. I almost can't help it, a bit like some people can't help staying in front of the television all day.
The reason I can't help working when I have spare time, is because I have developed the habit of acting this way and I am consistent with it. But if I were to take every weekend off, it would stop being a habit and become a chore.This is the Monday morning syndrome. After a nice relaxing weekend where I've had the chance to lie in and catch up on my sleep, I suddenly have to go back to the old routine. And changing back is difficult. Yet so many of us do it every single week. It's not getting up early that's difficult (unless I'm not getting enough sleep), the difficulty is not getting up early every day.
What I do need to do to create a good study habit, is to have a consistent routine based on some external factor. In my case my routine is exactly the same every day. I get up, shower, grab breakfast and go to university. In the evening I'll sit at my computer, check for any important correspondents, and then start work or assigment. But if I were on holiday, this would be completely different. My routine is not just set to time, it is also set to my location and to other factors such as whether I have guests or not.
There are many other good study habits out there for me to apply. I'm sure, it will bring me incredible success. I just need to experiment, and make them a part of who I am. Systematically add good study habits to our routine and our success will also improve dramatically.
