Developing Excellent Study Habits Takes Time and Practice - Be Mindful and Go with the flow!

klb1075 — 2014-02-16 00:21:08 UTC

Are you patient with yourself in today's fast-paced environment? It's challenging to slow down and assess what is working and what is not working in your adventures with online learning. It seems like technology has off days just like humans. A technology morning that wakes up on the wrong side of the bed might include a frozen webpage, a system down for maintenance, or so many questions asked, it becomes overwhelmed and freezes up from overload. After that, your technology might just need to take a vacation. With all the deadlines in our lives, slowing down is the last thing we want or feel we should have to do. With lighting speed we run through our days, but by slowing down, and giving ourselves permission to practice before we expect perfection, excellent study habits will develop quickly, and become part of our daily routine.

Hello Fellow Cohorts!

Our presentation will be on study habits. I know that when I have been at the top of my game study wise, my habits have made all the difference. As beginning graduate students, this will become even more important. Our goal was to provide you with relevant informational resources that you can use in your daily life. Good study habits will not only help you in retention of our MSW program, but also help you with the retention of information and develop important habits as we become Social Workers in the future. Laozi, an ancient Chinese philosopher, said:

“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”

I hope that our presentation on study habits helps you to improve upon your current ones. I also hope that it helps you along your path and destiny as a Social Worker.
