Not-Taking Strategies (Part 4)

FOR REVIEW
once you've done all of the above, you'll find you've created you own personalized study guide. cover the main section of the page and use the key words and questions in the left margin as a quiz.
STICK TO IT
review your notes the day you take them and all your notes once a week. that way, you wont need to study as much when its test time. you've been doing the work all along.
Try out the Cornell system, but if it doesn't work for you, experiment with other methods. Ask your classmates how they take notes or ask a teacher for advice. Taking good notes requires practice, like any other skill. And the more you work at it now, the more prepared you'll be to take notes in college.

Student Success Statement

SSS: "choosing the right is always the right thing to do." Alex Linares

REFLECTION: i agree with this statement because you should always choose the right under any circumstances no matter what because you will always have to choose the right when the time for choosing the wrong comes along in your path.

EXAMPLE: lets say you have an exam the next day, on a monday, and your friends invite you to a party. but most likely like a little kick back. therefore you say well its just a kick back so i will attend. then you go and you come back very very late and werent able to study. so therefore you fail the test the following day.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens (Habit 7 Part 1)

Habit 7: sharpen the saw

Teens should never get too busy living to take time to renew themselves. When teens “sharpen the saw” they are keeping their personal self-sharp so that they can better deal with life. It means regularly renewing and strengthening the four key dimensions of life- body, mind, heart, and soul.

1. Body. Eat wholesome foods, fruits, vegetables, legumes. Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Get plenty of rest at night. Get to bed early at night and get up early each morning. “ early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

2. Mind. Think positively. Read. Study. Think. Analyze. Seek to read a good book each month. Then each week. Ask intelligent questions. Observe. Develop your mind through positive “self-talk.”

Habit 3: Put First Things First

Important or not important, urgent or not urgent. Let’s look at the four quadrants of time management.

Quadrant 1: things that are important and urgent

Quadrant 2: things that important but not urgent

Quadrant 3: things that are not important but are urgent

Quadrant 4: things that are not important and not urgent

1.  Important & urgent	2.  Important but not urgent
3.  Not important but are urgent	4.  Not important and not urgent

Quadrant 2 is the ideal place to spend our time, doing things that are important but not urgent. Here’s where priorities come into play. The results for living Quadrant 2 are:

1.  Control of your life

2.  Balance

3.  High performance

So, in what quadrant are you spending most of your time? the key is to shift as much time as possible into Quadrant 2 and this is accomplished by planning. Spend more time planning and incorporating the most important things first, things that matter most. Keep your eyes on the prize and reach for it.

Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement:
" seek to do good and you will find that happiness will run after you."       -James Freeman Clarke

Reflection: i believe that this statement is true because if you seek to do good things, or in other words, choose the right, you will get something good in return. for example: if you help a friend or a family member, by doing chores or yard work or etc... and not even ask for money or any other thing in return, you will get something good in return sooner or later. another example is when you're in need of assistance and need someone to help you with something, and you ask someone for help, and they help you and don't ask you for something in return, they will get something way better in return in the future whether its late or early :) CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!! <3
