Start Your Study Right Now - Avoid Delaying Habits

It is pretty funny, but it is a fact that whenever students think of starting their study, they always dicide to start it from tomorrow. It is a common habit of students to say: I will start my study from tomorrow. However, their tomorrow, to start their study, never comes. Most students decide that they will start their study from the next day and they would do it for sure. When the next day comes, they again make a new pledge to start study from the next day. Every day they refresh their pledge to start study from the other day because they feel tired that day or have some other tasks to do that day. This continues for months until the exam approaches. Then they have a lot of courses to study and prepare them within the short of their exam.

This is a common habit but the students should realize that this is not good to keep on delaying their study and to never become serious about their studies. This affects their overall academic productivity and they sometimes end up getting less grades in their exams.

  Impacts of such habit of delaying study

  2. It is like cheating our self by simply satisfying ourselves with false pledges to take a start from the next day.
  3. When we skip studies on regular basis, it becomes a burden on us with the passage of time. Then, we feel stressed during the exam because we have to study and prepare a lot of courses within the short time of the exam.
  4. Doing so, we lose interest in our study and avoiding study becomes our habit.
  5. When we skip attending our class lectures, we miss a lot of useful information that could have helped us in learning and preparing for the exam..

  How and why should you start your study from

Time is the most valuable resource for a student, and it flies and waits for none. A student should know the value of time and should utilize it properly. Successful students have the habit of starting their studies from the first day of their academic session because they know they have to learn things and prepare themselves for an exam at the end of the session. They understand that time passes, and it never comes again to be utilized again. Therefore, they utilize it when it is utilizable. They know being a student their primary and important task is to study and learn their books. They attend their lectures daily and do their study on regular basis. They never cheat themselves by satisfying themselves falsely to start from the next day and to allow themselves to waste time.

It is very important for you, being a student, to take your studies seriously. You should be able to do your study any time. Never wait for the ideal situation to take a start. Every available time is ideal for study but if you change your thinking style about it positively. You should take a start right from today and right from now.

But your most important task is to do your study which should get more of your time, attention and energy. You have to give it preference over all other activities. You can also do your other activities but you should give more time to your study.

Never think about any excuse which may stop you from taking a start. Some of the common excuses made by the study to delay their study are 1) The weather is not good to start study today; 2) I am not in a good mood to start my study today; and 3) I think I should do my pending tasks today so that I can focus more on my study, and therefore, I should start my study from tomorrow.
