Time is the most precious asset, and success depends on how you use it.

In the last chapter, you already know the importance of homework, and you also know that every homework has a great influence on your final grade. You must cultivate good habits to drive yourself to finish your homework. But how? The answer is simple: make good use of your reading time.

What is reading time?

Reading time is the time you spend preparing lessons, doing homework and preparing for exams.

How to use reading time effectively?

If you want to finish your homework quickly and get high marks, you must first imagine how to make full use of your time. The reason is that your self-image (how you see yourself) will directly affect how you arrange your time.

For example, if you think you are an idle person, you will waste your time fooling around. On the contrary, if you think you are a good student, you will spend time studying hard. Therefore, if you want to get high marks with the least effort, you must use your brains and make appropriate arrangements.

The next step is to get started: get your body involved in the action and start every job as soon as possible. There are two ways to help you achieve your goals:

Method 1: Draw an "animation" in your mind.

Method 2: Move "animation" into real life.

Let's talk about the first method.

Method 1: Draw an "animation" in your mind.

It is wise to make a plan before you devote yourself to your study. Think clearly in your mind what you must do and how to accomplish it step by step.

Suppose, suppose it's 3 pm on Monday and you have three homework to hand in at 8 am on Wednesday. You first list these tasks on a piece of paper, and then start to draw an animation in your mind.

Imagine that you go to the library on Monday night and finish three assignments step by step. You feel very happy. This one-minute imagination exercise can prepare you mentally and decide to start tonight.

In order to practice fully, you must also think about the details, that is, you must think about finishing the assigned homework at a certain time and place. The following reading skills must be completed at a certain time and place, and must be practiced in your mind. These guides can help you imagine how to do each step in detail.

1. Make a list of all your homework.

2. Choose the main reading place.

3. Set aside enough time.

4. See for yourself.

5. Always keep the desktop clean and tidy.

6. Take a rest when appropriate.

7. Avoid eating snacks while reading.

8. Use your reading time wisely.

9. Make life easier by using what you have learned at school.

10. Think about the benefits after completing your studies.

List all your homework.

Just as a military commander must have a battle plan before launching an attack, you should also draw up a set of tactics. You can list all your lessons on a piece of paper, just like a road map to follow. When you finish any homework, cross it off, and you will have a great sense of accomplishment.

Of course, you must put all your lessons in order of importance. If it happens that some courses are equally important, you must know how to proceed. The following methods will help you make the right decision:

Solve the homework you don't like first.

The best way to use your time wisely and effectively is to start with courses you don't like. If you do this, you will finish what you should do on time and even set aside more leisure time. On the other hand, if you procrastinate on purpose, they will become the cause of your anxiety and depression. As a result of the vicious circle, you may put it off forever. You must not allow this to happen if you want to get good grades.

⊙ Avoid reading similar subjects.

To study effectively, don't study algebra and trigonometry at the same time. Practicing together is the reason why your two subjects are confused. Therefore, it is best to separate two subjects with similar nature for more than half an hour. During this gap, you can see something different, or just have a rest.

⊙ Select the main reading place

The best way to get yourself into the reading situation is to design the best learning place. Basically, it should include a table and a chair. The chair must be able to support your lower body so that you can sit up straight. Fatigue is inevitable when reading, and a good chair will help you prevent fatigue from happening prematurely.

The reading place should also include proper lighting, and be careful not to let the light reflect to your eyes. Good lighting can prevent eye fatigue and prolong your reading time.

Finally, you must imagine that the reading place should avoid external interference, such as TV, telephone, music and noise. Reading requires concentration. If the surroundings are quiet enough for you to think clearly, you will easily become absorbed. Go to a quiet place to study, so as not to be disturbed by foreign objects.

If you have to listen to some music while studying, listen to some soft light music instead of pop music or rock music. Rhythmic light music can help you read

Set aside enough time

In order to finish your homework smoothly, you should reserve enough writing time. Take writing a term report as an example. You'd better spend three days a week for four weeks, and set aside two hours every day, preferably at the same time and place every day. This arrangement can help you absorb new information anytime and anywhere.

Of course, this method will be more practical than expecting to finish all the homework in one night.

Read by yourself

Usually one can learn faster and better by reading. Reading is not a communicative activity, it often requires in-depth thinking and concentration. Besides, when studying with others, it is easy to waste time by fooling around. Therefore, if you want to finish your homework in a short time, find yourself an absolutely quiet place.

Always keep the desktop clean and tidy.

When you are in a clean and tidy learning environment, you will find it easier to concentrate on reading for the simple reason that if your books and papers are scattered on the table, the messy scene will distract your attention. You will find that you can't concentrate on answering difficult questions. And you always feel that you can't find the books or materials you want.

In other words, when your reading environment is chaotic, you are consuming your energy and reducing your learning efficiency. So, if you want to improve your reading efficiency, just do one thing at a time and always keep your desktop clean and tidy.

Take a rest at an appropriate time.

If you feel bored or tired while reading, have a rest. You will find that a short rest can relieve fatigue and refresh your spirit. During the break, you can sit in a chair and stretch, walk around or go to the water cooler for a drink.

Take a moderate rest every once in a while and keep quiet. The purpose of doing this is to have a moderate rest before feeling tired. You can use this time to recharge your batteries, relax your muscles, and organize and store the materials you have read. In this way, you will save a lot of reading time.

Avoid eating snacks when reading.

When you study a new textbook, you may want to have a snack. However, I advise you not to eat snacks. Reading won't burn a lot of calories, but eating will distract you.

In addition, your energy will be consumed in digesting food, which will greatly reduce your brain power. If you want to get good grades, try to avoid eating snacks while reading. When you finish your homework, you can use food as a reward, but don't eat during school hours.

Use reading time wisely

Reading class will consume a lot of time. Therefore, no matter what you do, you must get the maximum benefit in the least time.

Remember, understanding is more important than speed. Following the three steps described below will make reading easier:

Step 1: Warm-up exercise.

Step 2: Do it in one go.

Step 3: Find out the possible exam questions.

Step 1: Warm-up exercise

Just as boxers need to warm up before a match, you should warm up before reading. Its purpose is to give you a general understanding of the materials you want to see first.

For example, you have to read the first three chapters of a book. You can look at the cover and back cover of the textbook first, and then look at the author's profile or autobiography on the first page. This quick and simple browsing way can let you know who the author is and why you wrote this book.

When you start reading, put your finger under the line you are reading. This technique can help you read at the speed you want. In addition, you will find it easier to concentrate by involving your body in action.

Secondly, look at the table of contents and preface. This part of the information can help you know more about the books you want to read. You will find that browsing bold words, italics, tables, charts and abstracts in this way can deepen your impression of books.

Finally, if you have any quiz questions at the end of each chapter, please read them first. This method can help you identify important concepts.

Step 2: Do it in one go.

Read all the chapters after the warm-up exercise. Don't stop to consider the details. You don't have to find out what you read at once. You just need to read every page like a story book and follow the author's main concepts.

This reading method is best applied to preview before class.

Step 3: Find out the possible problems in the exam.

Read your homework again after class. Look and guess the questions. Pay special attention to the key points of each chapter. Including the content of class discussion, the places emphasized by the teacher, the end of each chapter, problem solving and so on. These are the scope of the teacher's questions.

Use an eye-catching pen (colored pen or highlighter) to mark the place where you predict to become an examination question. Continue to use this method for the second reading.

You may think: Should I take notes? The answer is: no. Because with writing, you can only write once, while with reading, you can repeat the marked parts five or six times, with exceptions.

If you predict that a textbook will become an exam topic, and the textbook does not specifically mention it, you can take notes. For example, in history class, you want to have a chronological list of major events, but there is no such list in the book.

Then you can find out the time and place of each major event in the book yourself, and then arrange it in a table according to time in the blank space next to the textbook or notebook. This method can help you sort out a clear chart and make it easier for you to prepare for the exam.

The three steps mentioned above can help you absorb more information when reading. You will find that you can grasp all the key points in the shortest time. In addition, highlighting the important parts provides a shortcut for preparing for the exam.

If you, like most people, think reading is a hassle, don't worry, you don't need to read all your lessons a second time. In fact, there are some subjects you don't need to study at all.

The reason is that some parts of the textbook often only repeat the key points mentioned by the teacher in class, and the materials attached to the textbook are often considered by the teacher to be outdated and unimportant.

In this case, there is little chance of giving questions from textbooks. If you keep following the three steps mentioned above, you will waste a lot of time.

But when preparing for the initial test, you'd better apply these three steps, because this will ensure that you are foolproof.

After the first test, you will know whether to adjust your reading style. Because in future exams, teachers are likely to give questions in the same way. Based on this, you can decide how much time you must spend preparing for the next exam.

Use what you learned in school to make life easier.

If possible, apply what you have learned in class to your daily life. For example, if you are learning multiplication, you can apply this calculation method to grocery shopping to calculate the total price. On the one hand, we can actually practice what we have learned in school, and on the other hand, we can affirm the educational function of the school. In this way, your life is more convenient, and you will never forget what you have learned.

Think about the benefits after finishing school.

Finally, if you want to drive yourself to study, you can focus on the reward after completing your homework and think about many reasons for your good grades (scholarships, well-paid jobs, good schools …). Besides, you can imagine what kind of reward you will give yourself when you finish your homework. When you fall behind in your lessons, you can use this method to motivate yourself and avoid the pain and sadness of falling behind in your lessons.

Method 2: Move "animation" into real life.

Once you have formed a self-motivated animated film in your mind, you should arrange time to actually put it into action. When you keep doing this, you will find an amazing phenomenon-you are satisfied with your ability to finish things, and you will continue to push yourself forward until you finish all the work.

Maybe sometimes, you may not have the energy to finish all your homework. At this time, you can take a nap, or eat some fruit to improve blood sugar concentration, or walk around to promote blood circulation. Finally, take a few deep breaths to help you clear your head. These methods can make you full of energy and finish your homework on time.

One more thing to note. Maybe sometimes you get tired of reading. If this happens (and time permits), watch a movie, go to a restaurant for dinner, or take part in one or two favorite activities and do what you like as much as possible.

When you have fun, you must finish your homework. The purpose of rest is to make you feel happy when you study, so that you can finish your homework smoothly, and then you like going to school.

Be careful not to turn this refreshing method into a habit. Play after reading books, and your interest in learning will be higher. In this way, you will finish your homework as soon as possible because of expectation.

Is there anything else you should know?

Yes, you can also think of some new and interesting ways to enjoy your reading time. For example, you can record in class, or make tapes, and listen to these tapes when you help with housework, make the bed and take the bus.

These methods are not intended to replace your current reading habits. I hope you can use your imagination to make yourself more interested in learning and make full use of your time.

My personal experience

Try to grasp the reading time.

A few years ago, an English class had to write a term report. In class, the teacher taught us how to start. He asked us to collect some information about gun control in the library and then write a report.

What a boring task it is. I have six weeks to finish it, but I have no intention of writing. I looked around and found that other students felt the same way. Everyone thinks it is a waste of time.

At this time, I decided to change my mind. I began to imagine a plan: 1 1 go to the library to do my homework the next morning. I decided to spend an hour and a half a day collecting information about gun control, so I started to act. Spend an hour and a half every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and stay in the library all day on Saturday for two weeks. The librarian was very enthusiastic to help me find the information I needed, and as a result, I finished it one week in advance.

The fun is yet to come. I have a lot of extra time for the remaining four weeks. I got an a in my homework. In addition, I also avoided the sadness and bitter fruit that many students tasted when they failed to hand in their homework.

I give this example to emphasize that it is easy to do your homework if you plan your worksheet in advance and finish it according to the plan. You can not only finish it within the specified time, but also have a lot of leisure time.
