study for one hour each day

If you look at studying the way farmers look at tending their land and/or animals, you will reap the rewards.

Every day they do just a little bit of work and at the end they have a field full of corn or healthy animals to sell or get produce from.

FARMING is a great analogy for the way that you should approach your studies.

how bout this??? I managed to keep sticked to my sit for 3 hours today!! bad news is..Thats the exact time it took me to finish the 1st lesson..got 27 left..and this wasnt the longest one..so.. anyways,its a good start,i marked this thing yesterday and i just tripled it..way to go!

I’m a crammer. although I try not to be. but that’s just me. enough of this one.

I think, for me at least, that this goal was too ill-defined. I did it, but it did not get me anything. Better to focus on specific things.

I am hoping for a career in academia, and really want to keep on top of things (mainly languages, I’m currently studying four, and have another one or two in mind) so that I don’t forget everything! It would be such a waste of so much time, effort and money. But it’s hard to fit in around a full time job and living my life, so I think if I just try to manage an hour every day. Perhaps I’ll find I can build up, but either way, from today for a month (until 8 August) I am going to try to study just one hour a day.

yeah ok I haven’t done this at all. I’ve got to concentrate really hard to make this happen.

In the past I’ve been able to get by pretty well with studying minimally (in most classes), but that doesn’t seem to be working anymore. I think if I can get this one-hour-a-day thing down (one hour STRAIGHT) then I’ll do a little better.

Well, I’ve been getting closer to this goal. I will be back in a PhD program in less than a month so one way or another I’ll be doing this!

I know what sorts of things I need to be studying, no matter which PhD or Masters program I end up in, so get to work!

I’m not a HS or undergraduate college student anymore so this means something different for me than it might for some younger people. I’m in my 30’s and planning on some more graduate work, and what I need to do is to learn to work with myself in studying, rather than against my basic nature. I’ve got to re-focus, and adapt to my own learning style, rather than trying to just sit still for long hours—forcing myself to work in the pattern that so many people tell us is “the right [or only] way to study.”
