HOW TO MAKE A TIME TABLE.
INTRODUCTION:
Three Parts:Making the timetableSchedulingFollowing the timetable
A study timetable helps you to keep control over the time you devote
to studying and revising each subject or a topic within a subject. It's a
great way to motivate yourself too, as you are aware of what needs to
be done and the time constraints placed on the study period. While it's
best to eventually find your own preferred way to develop a timetable,
there are some basics that will help you to formulate one effectively.Part 1 of 3: Making the timetable
-
1Draw up or find a basic timetable. The timetable should be a chart consisting of the variables "date," "time," and "subject." Everyone makes charts differently, so make whichever kind is easiest for you.
- Some word processing programs include timetable templates.
- Check online through search engines or image searches such as Pinterest for inspiration in timetable structures.
Part 2 of 3: Scheduling
-
1Check your schedule. Fill in when you have things going on (for example, basketball training) or when you have to meet with someone after school. This way, you can avoid stress about when you will study, because you have it all planned out.
-
2Make time for breaks. You can drown yourself in studying, you know. Every 15 minutes or so, take a break and get a snack or do something.
-
3Take some time to make it pretty. It should be colored in and neat, so that it won't be shaming to look at. Make it look appealing. (Do the coloring if you have time for it, or else do it neatly.)
-
4Avoid stress. Don't follow the timetable down to the seconds. It's a little system to help you do better in school. Base your time off it, but don't become stressed out because you took a break a minute longer than you were supposed to.
-
5Keep to it. Have faith in your timetable, and it will help you.
Part 3 of 3: Following the timetable
-
1Make an effort to follow the timetable as much as possible, as you may not want to waste your time in making a timetable you're not willing to follow.
-
2Look through the timetable every morning to stay focused on your specified time.
Tips
- Study at the time that you know works best for you.
- Put water or juice next to you so if you are thirsty you don't have to put off.
- Set aside time for breaks.
- Clear away any clutter from your work space.
- Do not procrastinate.
- Keep siblings out; they can keep you from getting your work done.
- Switch your phone off for better concentration.
- Studying is a way of building your future; remembering this can help to motivate you.
- When revising, don't listen to music with lyrics. Lyrics tend to focus you too much on the words and you're likely to get distracted.
