SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS

10

10. SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS ARE GOOD TIME MANAGERS. SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS DO NOT PROCRASTINATE. THEY HAVE LEARNED THAT TIME CONTROL IS LIFE CONTROL AND HAVE CONSCIOUSLY CHOSEN TO BE IN CONTROL OF THEIR LIFE.

AN ELEMENTAL TRUTH: YOU EITHER CONTROL TIME OR BE CONTROLLED BY IT! IT’S YOUR CHOICE: YOU CAN LEAD OR BE LED, ESTABLISH CONTROL OR RELINQUISH CONTROL, STEER YOUR OWN COURSE OR FOLLOW OTHERS. FAILURE TO TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR OWN TIME IS PROBABLY THE NO. ONE STUDY SKILLS PROBLEM FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS. IT ULTIMATELY CAUSES MANY STUDENTS TO BECOME NON-STUDENTS! PROCRASTINATORS ARE GOOD EXCUSE-MAKERS. DON’T MAKE ACADEMICS HARDER ON YOURSELF THAN IT HAS TO BE. STOP PROCRASTINATING. AND DON’T WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW TO DO IT!

THE 10 ITEMS LISTED ABOVE ARE PARAPHRASED FROM AN ARTICLE BY LARRY M LUDWIG CALLED TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR EFFECTIVE STUDY SKILLS WHICH APPEARED IN THE TEACHING PROFESSOR, DECEMBER, 1992.
