SUCCESSFUL STUDY HABITS REVEALED���
BROUGHT TO YOU BY
“Are you a visual, auditory or kinesthetic learner? Visual learners need to see images. Auditory learners need to hear the speaker's words. Kinesthetic learners need to sense and feel the information, thus writing notes by hand or experiencing an exercise works best.”
Denise Tomaszewski, Contracts & Accounting Specialist
“Set time for study, work, play, and even after all that—leave a bit of "white space" in your schedule. It will prevent you from feeling overwhelmed.” Christine Pechstein, Life Management Coach
“Dedicate an area for study. It may be a separate room or area of your home you can just sit and work. This allowed me to focus and when the door was closed, my family knew I was not to be bothered.”
Lesa Chiles, Sourcing Analyst
“Take the time to reward yourself after studying. Ex: a little nap, watching a favorite TV show, anything that will make you look forward to the work you’ve put into that little extra reward.”
Cynthia Kalill, Administrative Assistant
“Never underestimate the impact of a 10-15 minute study period. Always have something handy to read just in case I have a few minutes to spare, including notes, outlines and flash cards.”
Joan Johnston, Healthcare Quality Consultant
“My trick is to stay a day ahead of the class in my reading. That way when the material is discussed in class, it is a review for me.”
Diana Knapstein, Office Manager
“I know that I have really learned something if I am able to teach it to someone else, so I try to explain what I've learned to someone. If they get it, then I know I've got it.”
Nancy Descano, Finance and Accounting Professional
“Remember that you are human and can only do so much in a given day. Chip away little by little every day rather than procrastinating until you inevitably run out of time.”
Christina Kaufmann, JD, MLA, ESL Teacher
