Building Consistent Study Habits

tutoring calgary

"Consistent habits" are exactly what they sound like: actions to be completed on a scheduled basis. A typical study pattern I've identified in previous students is their desire to "finish their homework right after school and before dinner." However, they are usually easily distracted by video games, friends or TV and begin to see homework and studying as a tiring chore.

This is because they do not practice their study habits; once you set a goal to study for a period of time, stick to it quickly, it will feel like part of a natural daily routine.

Once you've established consistent study habits, respect those habits by setting boundaries to protect your new routine. Limits to studying after school include not turning on the TV, turning off your phone so you're not tempted to chat, or physically putting away the video games. Boundaries keep the distractions out of your sight so you can focus on studying and doing homework.
