help make the most of study
time:
• Budget time. Schedule time
to study, exercise and, of course,
sleep!
• Study in spurts. Take 10-
minute breaks every hour to re-
fresh the mind.
• Use an answering machine
to screen calls, avoiding the
temptation to chat.
• Review notes before going
to class to actively participate in
lectures.
• Reinforce by repetition
Clarity comes through familiar-
ity.
• Don’t procrastinate. Study
early to free up time for what
you enjoy.
• Keep a notepad nearby to jot
down random thoughts whje

• Use time between classes
wisely. These hours are ideal for
studying.
• Be persistent. People who
