Study Pattern (The Time Table Approach)

There goes a popular saying “If you can quantify your work, you can improve it!”

It is very important to keep a track of your time. You know what’s the most valuable asset in your life? It’s not Money! It’s TIME! Which is why you are trading your money for the time and guidance of coaching centers and faculty members.

If you manage and use your time properly, success and progress will be easier than you think, and that I can assure you in any walk of life. So, keeping a track of how you spend your time is as much or even more important than how you spend your money. We take to the time table approach to track our progress:

1)      Make a proper time-table for your entire day. This includes the coaching classes, the sleep timing, the breakfast, lunch and dinner time, your personal time for exercises, talking to family and studies. This gives you an idea of how your day is built upon.

2)      Once you have an idea of what all things need to be done, the next step is to allot proper and ‘adequate’ time to it.

3)      Once you have it planned, it’s time to execute it. I am attaching a copy of 30-day challenge to track your progress in different areas for 30 days. Mark an “X” for everyday you follow your time table and a “--” for everyday you miss out on it. Once you have followed the time-table for 30 days, it becomes your habit. It is now easier to execute it and get it done.

4)      Track your daily progress, give adequate time to your homework, plan your revisions over the weekend, review the topics you are still not thorough with, schedule a doubt session, revise and keep a check on how you perform. This gives you an edge over the competition.

5)      Once you develop a habit of being disciplined enough to follow the time table, it is time to quantify your progress. Review each day at the end of it. Plan your activities for the next day. You now have an idea of what needs to be done on the following day. Hence, you plan better.

6)      Review your weeks in a similar way and implement this monthly to track your overall progress. Before you know it, your productivity has improved in a way you wouldn’t even know.
