Setting a Regular Study Time
If you do not have time
for studying, you may be saying that it is not important to make time for studying. You need a schedule, and the more strictly you can keep to it, the better your schedule will work. If you set aside, for example, Tuesday evening and Sunday afternoon to study, be very strict with yourself about studying during that time for a few weeks and loudly object if you are interrupted. Purchase an answering machine or service, if that will help. And after just a few weeks, you will find that you automatically head for the books at the appointed time. If you have a strict schedule, you do not have to put energy into finding time to study and you can get to work quickly. One student (who completed two or three courses each semester, even with three children under the age of three) gave this advice, Take yourself seriously. Do not let yourself be interrupted. You do not need to think that studying is unimportant or interruptible.
