Hey! Welcome to part two of our new series about making and sticking to your quizzing study schedule. In this post I'll walk you through how to actually make your study schedule, and when to do it. Making a realistic study schedule: The biggest reason why quizzers end up not being able to keep up with their study schedule, is simply because it isn't realistic. They aren't able to do it along with everything else in their lives. This isn't something to criticize someone about, it's a real issue. Sometimes we just need a little help getting our lives under control and in order. Here's a quick little check list to make sure your study schedule (if you already have one. If you don't, no biggy, I'll help you with that later on in this post) is realistic, and possible for you to complete on a regular basis.
And
Okay, now for those who have not made a schedule yet, here's some things for you. Use Microsoft Excel or make a graph DIY and make room for you to check off everything that you've done each day. This is a form of completion, a visual pat on the back, and also just help you keep track in an organized manner. Here's what mine looks like: (now keep in mind, your study schedule simply needs to be personalized towards your goals, abilities, schedule, and experience.) Now, I usually don't get everything done (disclaimer: I have been very busy with school starting and moving my big sister off to collage and getting my first job :P), but I do try to get as much done as I can each day, and that's all I ask from myself. If I do everything, in full, it would probably end up being over two or tree hours of a mix of hard and light studying.
Notice the top task: "Memorize 6 verses". At the beginning of the season, it was 3 verses, but because I got behind, it has now doubled and I have to pick up my own slack before I get even more behind. Do I beat myself up about getting behind, and get all depressed and discouraged because I didn't keep up with my schedule? Absolutely not! I know I might not have worked as hard as I should have, but hey, that's okay! I'll try harder, and I'll do better in the future! Don't let your past failures define you: they're in the past, they don't mean anything. ] I've realized here in the past couple of weeks, that there are three different things scattered on my schedule:
Studying:
Practicing:
Memorizing:
Try to split up all your selected tasks into these categories to help you plan out your day better. Alrighty, well that's all I have for you today, but stay tuned for the third and final post of this series coming up soon! Thanks for reading! Keep calm and quiz on (and out)! Your fellow quizzer, Mallory
