So it Doesn’t Control You (Part 3)

Take Advantage of Any Free Time: If you have a study or a long bus ride use the time to review notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start your homework. Flash cards are a great learning tool. They are easy to make, easy to handle, and are a marvelous tool to help you learn and remember anything. Punch a hole in the upper left corner of each index card and connect the stack of your flash cards with a ring. Then the cards are bound and not flopping around. Flash cards bound like this act like a small book with pages. You can even have separate ringed stacks for each subject. Whatever you want to remember put it on a card.

Study with a Friend: Get together with friends and classmates to quiz each other, compare notes and predict test questions. Consider joining a Study Group.

Communicate: If you have concerns about the amount or type of homework you have, you may want to talk to your family, teachers or counselor. They can help you understand how much time you need to allot for homework and how to manage your tasks.

Celebrate You Achievements: Reward yourself for hitting milestones or doing something well.
