- Don't forget to pray for studies - now, not just at exam time
- Write a few summary points of papers you've read recently - it will make that essay easier later and give you a better idea of the bigger picture
- Got half an hour off? Go over the text-book reading or write out things from the lecture in your own words - you know it helped before
- Just because your notes are organised - doesn't mean you know them. Summarise them.
- Read something now for that thing thats due later - you will be less stressed and may lose 30 mins sleep now, but you will not have to pull a teary all nighter later
- Its much less stressful when you know whats going on. Go over your tutes and make sure you know how to relate it to the lectures
- Knowing the basics is good - but its better to know them and be able to apply it to other things - make it all fit together later
- Self-control is a fruit of the spirit - pray now for fruiti-ness
- Don't deceive yourself - you may think there is time later - but you won't do it properly. Social contact and fun will still be around later.
- Don't wish you could go back in time later, do what you'll regret not doing later, now! = no regrets. This is the best you're gunna get to a time machine
- Pretend there is an exam question for the lecture/topic you just had. Remember how well that worked for developmental psych! You know you're capable of it!
- MSN can wait - drop everything and do a good half hour of work. Pretend the exam is tomorrow - what will you cram for?
- Use your free time now - so later you won't be to stressed or busy to serve God and his people
- Just because you've got a week of stuvac - don't think you can leave stuff till later. It may be boring - but it will still be boring the night before the exam, but you won't be able to concentrate because you're so tired! Start now, procrastinate later.
- Write notes in stuvac - you know it makes study easier
- You have the brains - have the smarts to do the work now so you show your brains
- Doing nothing will get you no where
Pretty long list... possibly not all relevant for all subjects, but I'm sure you get the vibe. Also I had brains on the brain as I was procrastinating from studying for neuro while writing this list... oh the irony...
