Daily classes, handful of assignments, preparing for examinations and many other activities constitute a major part of any college student's life. All these things make it very difficult for students to cope up with self-studies as well as their health. But a well-planned and organized time table helps in establishing a rhythmic routine of a student thus saving ample amount of time for their self-studies. This portion of 'self-studies' in any college student's life is very important as it helps in developing their overall personality and character. Now let's get into the details of how to make a perfect time table for yourself for your most hectic days. Here, we will be diving your day into 4 different sections.
Section I: (Morning) Try waking up 3 to 4 hours before the time you actually need to be in your college for classes. For example, if your first class is scheduled from 9am onwards, try waking up at 5 o'clock or 6 o'clock and take out at least an hour and a half for studying something in the morning. It can either be revising for a previous or a scheduled lecture or even studying a theoretical subject, which majorly deals with the learning part. Mornings are said to be the most productive time of the day so make the best out of them.
Section II: (Noon) After you've had your breakfast and attended the first half of your classes scheduled for the day, make sure to give yourself a little break after lunch time. Take a short nap or listen to some music. All in all, just relax a little before jumping on to the classes scheduled for the latter half. This will save you energy for being able to study past the college hours. If you don't take a little bit of rest here, there's a high probability that you'll be drained of all your energy by dinner.
Section III: (Evening) Let's assume your classes end around 5-6 p.m. Come back, eat some light snacks and complete your assignments/homework before dinner so that you don't have to study something new (studying something new just after you finish your classes might drain your energy, so it's best to avoid it). This will also help you in retaining most of the things that were taught in classes and you will also get rid of the habit of postponing your assignments to the last day of submission.
Section IV: (Night) Now we've reached the last section of the day which is the time after you've had your dinner. Save at least an hour to relax, talk to your friends, watch something on television or your smart phones or just engage yourself in some activity/your hobbies. After you've warmed up with something relaxing, sit with a new topic or learn some new course (which isn’t a part of your regular subjects) and study them with utmost silence and patience. To conclude, your time table has now been divided into 4 very productive sections where you can easily cover everything that you've ever wanted to include in your time table without missing out on any important work or self-study. Follow this for 21 days and you will notice the change and ease in your schedule and your behavior.
