Hi @Former-Member
I have found your study thread
I studied part time for 12 years - 4 year degree - I had to work and I had a family - so I had to measure my time - my second job was private tutoring - that's where the money was but the work is seasonal
So yes - as some of my students worked as well as studying I had tips to pass on that I must have picked up from my own teachers through the years
One is to wake up early and study before anyone else is awake - I found this easy but other people might not
If I was in doubt I would ask my tutor or lecturer was was really important to read - I learned early that we were given more to read than was possible - and it was important to work out what is most important
You are a long way into your studies now so you must have a good idea of your field - time is limited so I found this formula good - you might already be using it
Read two books that support your own opinion and one that contradicts it and use that single book - that will help you structure your argument
Limit your research and photocopy anything you will be using in your thesis or dissertation because it is vital that you have that exactly right -
I know a lot of study is done on line now - I don't know if you have exams - at this point I am only going into the basics - but for exams
The main thing in your case is to be very steady with any medication you may be taking - this is not the time to change anything - either way - and if you are doing exams - do not take anything extra
You might already know all of this - but I will think on later - having exams or handing in work in the next few weeks can't be easy - but you do need time to yourself and this is one point I taught other people and took selfishly myself
Toward the end of the study period when you must had in work or have exams
You are number 1. You need to have time to study without interruption -
you need to keep your diet steady -
Rest when you need to
And get exercise
Self care is very important
Steady study is important for now - but ease up toward the end and the day before stop and rest your mind - nothing you try and take in will work at the end -
I will think up more things I am sure
I can hardly believe you are so young
