We are all taught by teachers that we should sit and re-reading our notes repeatedly, but the ‘learning by teaching’ method is actually helping us to understand the theories more. Understanding the concept taught by teachers in class, we can simplify the content and teach the others. During the process of teaching the others, you get to know more about the thing you’ve learned and solve some doubts when listening to teachers in class, it also helps to deepen your memory about the concept. After the teaching, you should reflect your teaching method and ask if the person fully understand the concept, so you can check is there any part that you are not very familiar with and study again.

Humans are easily affected by the environment, so it is essential for us to work in our own productive space, which varies from people. Some like to study in the library, some like to study in their room, different people have their unique comfortable working space, to get their best performances. If your study area is surrounded by distractions, such as phone, video games and Netflix, we won’t be able to resist the temptations to text, play games and watch Netflix. One single distraction can already waste us 5 to 10 minutes, if there’re distractions next to your study area, you won’t be able to focus and finish your work.

Here are some examples of productive spaces:

Our brains work with the 'Ebbinghaus forgetting curve' which hypothesizes the decline of memory retention in time. It shows how information is lost over time when there is no attempt to retain it. You have learned something today and 30 minutes later you may only remember 50% of it, then the day after you may only remember 20% of it. You should recap the things you have learned after school, then study it on the third day and the fifth day, so you can have a long-term memory and get a better result.

Many of us fail to understand that time is actually controllable. We have 24 hours a day. some of us waste their time, while some plan and prepare every minutes and become more productive , thinking about what are they going to do next. You should sit down and plan out your day, in the morning, in the evening, in your recess, to plan which subject will you study, which topic are you going to revise. therefore, you won’t waste time to multitask and think about what are you going to study.

Here's how you can make a study plan:

Studying is an essential part of academic success. However, it is sometimes difficult to find the time to study for every subject we need to study for. One way to balance our studying is to create a study schedule, but sometimes, that can be harder than we think. Not only do you have to prioritize the subjects or courses you need to study for within a certain block of time, but you also have to juggle other responsibilities such as family, friends, and your own entertainment! So, I will give you, my 10 essentials steps to create a study schedule!

2 - Although you might design yourself an awesome schedule, your schedule will mean relatively little if you don't commit yourself to studying. As a result, you need to spend a little bit of time reflecting upon your work ethic. After doing so:
* Plan your schedule based on how you think you will work. If you tend to lose focus and take a lot of breaks, build in extra time into your schedule;

4 - List all the subjects you need to study. Perhaps the first step in creating your study schedule is to list all of the subjects and courses you need to study for. Putting your obligations on paper will help you get a better idea of what you really have to do.

5 - Figure out what you need to do for each subject or exam.
Now that you've written down all of the different subjects you need to study for, you need to figure out what you need to do for each course.
* If you have a study guide or a textbook with review sections, use it to narrow down what you list;
* Reserve time for reading;
* Reserve time for reviewing your notes;
* Reserve time to create exam study guides, if you'll need them.

6 - Prioritize your list. After you've made a list of all the subjects or exams you need to study for and figured out what you need to do for each, prioritize the list. Ranking each class in importance will help you figure out what subjects you need to devote the most time to.
* Put a number, starting with one, next to all of your subjects or exams. If you need the most time for math, give it a one. If you need the least time for history (and you have five subjects to study for), give it a five;
* Take into account difficulty of the subject or exam;
* Take into account the amount of reading you will need to do;
* Take into account the amount of reviewing you will need to do.

* Create blocks for all of your available time.

These are the 10 essential steps that I find important to read and follow in order to create your own study schedule. Sometimes our schedules are hard to follow because important people in our lives distract us from our goals. This is not done maliciously, but just because people who care about you want to spend time with you. But, always try to balance your personal time with your professional/school time.

Stick to your schedule, reflect about your future and try your best to always follow your schedule!
