MANAGING TIME

0 comments

Time Management
Most students find that their greatest challenge in adjusting to college life and to succeeding in the classroom is in managing their time effectively. This is especially true for community college students who often work long hours. Adult students deal with the additional issues of child care and family and home responsibilities.
When evaluating your schedule, or how you spend your time, you also need to consider your goals and priorities. 
Eventhough attending class and completing assignments is a top priority for most students, many find that they are not allowing enough time for their studies. On the average, students should spend about 2 hours of study for each hour of class time. 
If you are finding it difficult to locate the time you need to study, or that there are conflicts among the various demands on your time, you may need to give greater consideration to your goals. By getting clear on your goals, it will be easier to decide how to spend your time. You'll find that you can more easily put off other things and set aside the time you need for studies, if you know how it will help you to achieve your educational or career goals.


Using Time Wisely
You might have all the time in the world, but if you don't use it wisely, it won't help you to meet your goals. Procrastination is a problem for many students. The following are tips to help you deal with this issue.
  • Clear your schedule. Don't overextend yourself. Set limits around being interrupted or rescheduling your work time to accommodate others.   
  • Get motivated. Create a work area that is free from distractions and commit to staying there for at least one to two hours. If you get side-tracked, remind yourself how this activity will help you to meet your goals.
  • Prioritize. What has to be done first? When is it due? What is worth more in terms of your grade? What is worth more in terms of your personal, educational, or career goals?
  • Make sure you understand the task. Ask questions. Get help if you need it.
  • Break down the task into chunk. Estimate how much time you'll need to complete the task. Don't try to do it all at one time. Break it down so that it's "do-able" and not so overwhelming. Stay up-to-date on assignments to help avoid overload.
  • It doesn't have to be perfect. Some people are so afraid that they won't perform perfectly, they won't do anything at all. Make sure you understand the expectations of your instructor. Then evaluate how important the task is and what level of performance is acceptable to you. Then just do it!
  • When you really hate it, try to make it as enjoyable as possible. Work on this task first, while you have more energy. Reward yourself when you complete certain aspects of the task. Study with a friend.


BRAIN HEALTH

0 comments


All of us should  to keep our brains healthy. It's important as our age, but also important at any age.
At this time of the year, when people make all kind of resolutions, one of the most frequent is to improve our state of health in one way or another. This can also include keeping our brain's healthy. Here is a list of actions you can take, and make part of your life to assure your brain stays in the best of shape.

Step 1 - Eat a Brain-Healthy Diet.
What is a brain-healthy diet?
It is one that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids (commonly found in fish, specially fed chicken (via their eggs) some fruits and vegetables), essential amounts of proteins only, plentiful antioxidants (found in a host of natural foods) lots of fruits and vegetables, foods rich in vitamin B (such as lentils); minimum amounts or no trans fats; and fiber-rich non-processed carbohydrates.

Step 2 - Stay Mentally Active
Every year resolve to learn something new. Let it be a language, a skill, some dance, something new each year. Keep your mind active. Stay away from TV as much as you can, and replace it with the computer.
Take classes in something, and read as much as you can. The brain needs this stimuli to maintain its cognitive levels.

Step 3 - Exercise Regularly
Nothing is as important for the body and brain as regular exercise. Regular exercise always increases circulation, improves one coordination, and helps prevent conditions that increase the risk of dementia such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

Step 4 - Remain Socially Active
Do not remain a recluse. Be with your friends, become a volunteer and work with people, take regular outings to new places, and new countries. Let your eyes see new sights, your ears new sounds, taste new foods.

Step 5 - Sleep Well
The healthy brain needs for your body to sleep and rest. When you are deprived of enough sleep, the brain suffers.

Step 6 - Stress Management
Simple stress is often healthful, but long protracted stress puts the brain (and body via the immune system) at increased risk. There are wonderful ways to manage your stress, such as yoga, enjoyable hobbies, regular journeys to spas, healthful massage, and a host of other options. Use them, and let the stress pass away from you.

Step 7 - Safety
Don't take chances. The damage an injury to the head cannot be under-estimated, especially triggering the onset of dementia.

Step 8 - Watch Your General Health
Keep a healthy weight, control high-blood pressure, hypertension, and guard against diabetes. Each of these can negatively affect your cognitive state.

Step 9 - Avoid Unhealthful Habits
If you smoke, stop now. If you over drink stop, and limit yourself of moderate amounts of wine, and an occasional drink. Illegal drugs of any kind will negatively affect your cognitive state, and surely hasten the onset of dementia.

Step 10 - Genetic Disposition
If there is any history of dementia, or other cognitive diseases in your family, you can take steps before it become too late. The previous 9 steps are a good start, and consultation with your doctor can be the start of protecting your brain's health
