Time Sense for Students


In this article, I am going to discuss about problems faced by students due to lack of time and solutions to these problems. Time plays a decisive role in student’s life. Now-a-days, Students waste their time in useless things and do not get proper time for preparation during exams. They complain that they are not able to finish their syllabus due to lack of “time”.  Time sense deals with such kind of problems.

 After a good sleep, everyone gets a precious treasure of 24 hours referred as time.  Here are few tips for those students who wish to utilise their time beneficially.
  1. Remember that time is extremely valuable.
  2. Recognise this harsh truth that time that one gone will never come back.
  3. Resolve and stick to it: “Whatever has to be done at a particular time, I shall definitely do it”.
  4. If you make the habit of doing the right things at right time, then you will be successful in using time beneficially and profitably.
  5. Be very clear about what you wish to do, however trifling (trivial) the work be.
  6. “If you do not work with interest and attention, no matter what you do, you waste your time” - Remember this simple fact.
  7. Suppose you have made a mistake, instead of brooding over it and cursing yourself and everyone around you and feeling bad about it, if you try to set it right or if you just take up the next thing that you should do, you will save much time of yours which is very precious.
  8. He alone succeeds who can think right at the right moment. Day dreamers or people who build castles in air, utterly waste their time. People who are wide awake and engage themselves in meaningful activities can use their time gainfully.
Why does one forget?  There may be many reasons, but the most important and major reason is absent mindedness. Is there any solution for this? Well..The solution is very simple : Self-suggestion. So you need to suggest yourself – “Look here, If you keep on forgetting things like this, you will never succeed in life”. So, cultivate awareness at every moment of your life. You will sure benefit if you are bit more careful and little more aware of yourself.

When schools reopen and classes and studies begin, after a month and half vacation, the students now begin their studies with single minded concentration. While many students waste their time and continue to hangout in vacation mode for some more time. But serious students plunge into their studies immediately. As the year roll on, many of these serious students become prone to the deadly “exam fever”. What is the solution for this?. The solution is nothing but constant practice. 

Every student before going to sleep, who want to use their time meaningfully and want to gain good score in exams should think this
I SHALL READ MORE AND MORE
I SHALL STUDY MORE AND MORE
WHATEVER I READ AND STUDY, I SHALL UNDERSTAND, REMEMBER AND RECALL ALL OF IT.
BY DEVELOPING THIS CAPABILITY, I SHALL BLOSSOM OUT AS A STUDENT OF VERY HIGH CALIBRE
This is not a prayer. This is a thought, an affirmation through thinking. A student is sure to improve by repeating these auto suggestive affirmations for 3 months before sleep.
