Leisure and study are two different things in a students perspective. But did you know there is a way to balance leisure and study?

Here’s how :

you might think that you cant have a good time while studying well, think again. How about using your good time while studying, for that it will make you study efficiently. there is also ways where you leisure at the same time study.

you may use other methods like prioritizing your schedule. if its time to study, its intended for studying. if there are no schedules for studying,researching and etc. then go have fun. People need time to have fun for change.

It just depends on how you value and respond to your agendas. You decide for whats best and suites for you. Be responsible for the time at hand. Not everyone has time in the world. Make sure you make it count.

To Receive Great Grades and have equal time for fun.

1. Work hard.   Getting good grades in school is not a walk in the park. A+ Grades cannot be summoned with a flick of the wrist and poof!, there is a grade you can be proud of. Make sure you understand that.
2. To start with, listen to the teacher. This doesn’t mean talking while listening…no, they don’t go together. Listening ultimately lets information or directions to come right in, so you don’t have to get up and ask the teacher what he/she said and make them annoyed. Remember the rule: “Silence is Golden, Duct Tape is Silver”
3. Stop procrastinating! This gets you nowhere, and just makes you feel overwhelmed or hopeless. It’s not worth it!
4. When a test is coming, actually study for it. Yeah, maybe you thought you remembered everything, except when you’re on the test and notice you forgot Einstein’s theory of Relativity or who the second king of Kush was. Studying can almost always stop this from happening. Pick a night you’re free and devote it to finding a good way of studying, taking notes, etc. Studying with friends can help tremendously, as long as you can work and accomplish tasks efficiently without getting side-tracked.
5. When you’re sick for a day, ask your teacher if you can come in for lunch. Miss recess for a day. Is 15 minutes out of your life really gonna’ kill you? Probably not! Not only will you get the work and complete it, you have almost the whole time to have the teacher help you with problems and understanding them, so you’ll be back in a jiffy. Plus, you’ll earn the respect of your teachers for your high reputation of responsibility!
6. Probably the most obvious rule. Get your brain going and get that work done! What do you think the teacher’s going to grade? So sit down, stop reading this if you have to, and start completing that homework!
