Describe your study strategies.

I don’t have a lot of study strategies, I only have few study strategies that I’m
comfortable with and I think is effective in helping me on my studies. One example is my
habit of making a to-do list or list of all the things that I need to do within the upcoming
days and hours and making a strict and organized schedule out of it, and I’m scheduling
it by ranking all the things that I need to do in terms of priority and what is need to be
done first and when I’m done schedule all the things on my list, I’m always making sure
that I would be able to do what I need to do on the required time because it is already
my normal to not feel good whenever I didn’t do something that I need to do on time and
when I didn’t really made it doing it on time for some reasons I’m always making sure to
make it up immediately and try my best not to ruin or affect my following schedule. I
believe discipline within oneself is what is really needed to succeed because no matter
what strategy you use if you don’t have discipline with yourself it will be just useless and
nonsense. My other strategy is to always reward myself whenever I accomplish
something, it’s like I’m giving myself time to appreciate what I did no matter what it is, it
is like my method of helping myself not to feel stress and depressed whenever I’m doing
school works and it also serves as my motivation to do more and keep on going and
keep on moving forward.
Analyze the mistakes you made.
Maybe my mistakes that I always commit regarding my studies is that sometimes
I’m prolonging the things that I need to do and will just do and finish it whenever the
deadline is near, like not really procrastinating but whenever I was given an assignment
which is the deadline is quite far from the time it was given I won’t finish it immediately
like I will just start some of it but will not complete it totally like I will be contented
because the deadline is not yet today so I will just finish it whenever the deadline is
already coming.
Plan a study strategy for the next semester
I believe and I’m quite proud that my study strategies is quite effective so I think I
don’t need to make a new one nevertheless what I need is to improve it and focus on
my weaknesses and find a way to overcome it and as for me what I’m finding difficult to
deal with is that I don’t do all my task immediately like not complete it immediately so
what I think I need to do is to teach myself to try and do it to start and finish all my
assignments given to me as soon as possible so I won’t cram.
