1. Avoid too much socializing: Avoid too much talking on phone with your friends .

Not more than 15-30 minutes every day. Keep yourself away from family discussi ons. Don t get into arguments with parents and brothers/sisters. It just wastes yo ur time and energy. Be selfish to focus on your career. Say NO or avoid social f unctions and visits at relatives. 2. Avoid long hours on TV, Internet and games: TV serials, movies, matches are r eal time and energy suckers. If you are too much into TV, cut down immediately. Don t spend more than 1 hour in front of TV every day. 3.Don t sit on computer for more than 1 hour unless you have to appear for 100perc entile tests. To save your time you need to choose TV or Internet browsing or vi deo games. Don t spend more than 1 hour average daily on any of these activities. 4. Avoid outdoor sports: Those who are playing physical games a lot should reduc e them or should stop them. These games are very tiring. If you are physically t ired, you would not be able to concentrate on studies. So for physical activitie s, I suggest evening walk or light exercise either in the morning or evening. 5. Avoid night-outs : Those who study late nights, sleep whole day. This is a ba d schedule. If you don t sleep well in the night, you will feel sleepy in school a nd in your coaching classes. So best is you should sleep for 7 hours any time be tween 10 PM to 9 AM. Those who don t get study atmosphere at home in the day time, in worst case they should study till 2.00 AM and get up at 9.00 AM. 6. Avoid too long or two short sleep hours: It you are sleeping more than 8 hour s, stop it immediately. You should target for 7 hours sleep every day. Also avoi d day time sleeping for more than 90 minutes. Preferably it should be a nap of 1 hour. Those you could manage to sleep less, I would not recommend a sleep of le ss than 5-6 hours. If body is tired, mind cannot function properly.
