Every Friday, take home those items you don't need. Gym clothes and multiple jackets take up space and hide the books and notebooks you need to find quickly. Choose a study time . Look at your daily schedule and plan at least an hour a day of standard study time. Use it to complete homework, review notes, study for tests, or read.
Some students study best as soon as they get home.
Others like to study later in the evening. Choose the time that's honestly best for you. Let your family know when your study time is. Commit to it. Building this time into your day is one of the best habits you can form.
