DAILY TIMETABLE
General knowledge – you can never have enough of it. However much you know there is still that much more you need to know right? There is no way you can sit and absorb GK at one go. Take a small step every day. Resolve to read about a new person/ place/ animal/ plant; whatever catches your fancy, everyday. And don’t stop there. After a while talk about it with a friend or anyone else willing to lend you an ear. No ears available? Do not despair, write it down. This ‘revision’ while talking and /or writing will ensure that you remember whatever you have read. With practice you will be able to recall such interesting ‘facts’ whenever you wish to.
Bright ideas have a habit of cropping up at the least unexpected of times, in the shower, amidst a traffic jam, while just nodding off to sleep are a few examples of such places and times. And before you know it pouf… it vanishes, leaving you with that nagging feeling of having found a gold mine but lost it. Well let’s repair the situation:
Make a habit of jotting down ideas as they come to you. Keep a ready supply of pencils and small notepads/ sheets of paper around the house, in your pockets, so that you don’t drop jotting down an idea due the lack of writing materials. Later on you may discard several of these hastily jotted down thoughts, but it is the few that work that make all the effort seem worthwhile.
All night cram sessions almost never work successfully. It is good to do some studying every day as it helps you retain large amounts of information. But studying, yes, can be boring for most. So why not try making it fun. Here's how: take study breaks when you are having fun. If you are reading comics or storybooks, take a study break for some time to read up your day's lessons. If it's TV that you watch a lot of, use the long commercial breaks to do some fun reading of your lessons. Use your class lessons for quizzes between you and your friends. Do such new stuff to get into the habit of studying every day. Believe us, studying might really start getting to be fun in the long run.
