Day 7 - Study tips

22.01.2017

Hi people!

Happy sunday to you all. Today I bring you a 8 tips list to start studying well since the beginning of the semester. These tricks are basics, thought to start the semester with desire and energy. Go to your goals!

1. Go to class: okay, that first tip may sound a little obvious, but it’s perhaps the most effective. Going to class will not only helps the teacher to know you and see your interest in his subject. Being active and participate in the class also helps your brain to retain information, so when you start studying it will be much easier understand and remember what you’re reading.

2. Find your study place: it can be a public library, your campus, your room, a coffee shop… actually it doesn’t matter. You have to find the perfect place for you. It will depend on you, on how you study and how you focus:

if you prefer to walk or talk aloud, order your desk and stay at home

if you are looking for a quiet place where you can concentrate, go to a public library

if you study better with classmates or friends, go to the study rooms of your campus

if you don’t care so much about the noise and you like to enjoy a good fresh coffee or something to snack on, you can go to your favourite coffee shop

It also depends on the work you have to do: an essay, a group-work, reading a few articles, studying for an exam… You can try several places, until you find the one where you feel more comfortable studying and where you give more and better.

3. Use an agenda or a calendar: the best way to plan your week, the whole month or even the entire semester is to use an agenda. It doesn’t matter if it’s a daily, weekly or monthly agenda, if it’s colorful and beautiful or just a normal notebook, but you should use something to target your taks, your exams, your essays…. Having an agenda will help you to be more organized and to carry your tasks up to day, so no more chaos!

4. Use colors: this may sound a bit cliché, but use color highlighters and pens to underline or emphasize the most important phrases and ideas will help your brain to fix information faster than just reading, and to associate colors with certain information. That’s why I recommend you to use specific colors for certain data (for example: green for people names, purple for dates, blue for cities, orange for remarkable information… or whatever you prefer). This tip works especially for people with visual memory.

5. Make schemes or summaries: they don’t have to be perfect schemes with beautiful handwrite and many colors and drawings, you can do bungler schemes with fast and messy handwrite. Remember that a good summarie must to have keywords and be sorted by sections. And rewrite what you’re reading, what you’re trying to learn, helps your brain to keep the information without any problem too.

6. Discuss the temary with your classmates: talk with your friends or your classmates about what you’re studying, ask questions among all and complete the information you know. Repeat aloud newly acquired knowledge and discuss them with other people helps not only to retain information quickly but also to clarify ideas that flutter in your brain. Also, your friends help you with the hardest themes for you, after all, they’re your friends!

7. Do not lie to yourself: that’s the simplest advice, but sometimes it’s also the most difficult to meet. When things don’t go exactly as we want, we tend to alter the reality, lie to others and, at last, lie to ourselves. But it’s important to remember what we’ve done, how much we’ve actually worked and what else could we do to improve or results. You can lie others about your work, but be honest with yourself. Always. It’s the only way to reach your goals.

                         8 Tips To Create A Sleep-Friendly Environment For The Baby

Parenthood is one such phase of a person’s life when they welcome a little gift from God, although it comes with a share of difficulties as well. One such challenge is to create a sleep-friendly environment for your tiny tot who needs quality sleep to have proper physical and mental growth. First two years are crucial as this is the period of maximum cognitive development.  Let’s have a look at a few factors which will enhance the quality of sleep for your baby.

#1. Lighting

In case a nightlight is to be used, it should be dim. Brilliant lights signal the body to be alert, while dim lights flag the body that the time has come to rest. TVs, PCs, cell phones, and tablets should not be kept in the room where the baby is sleeping. In case you need to feed the baby or change the diapers, make sure to use zero-watt bulbs.

#2. Quiet Surroundings

Infants are used to quietness since their conception in the womb. Repetitive or loud sounds and can be detrimental to their sleep. Most parents are in a habit to watch television before sleeping. However, once the little one arrives, it is best to change this routine for some time. To enhance the quality of your baby’s sleep, you can put some meditative music or natural sounds ( e.g. rain) in low volume. Your baby will wake up chirping happily for sure.

#3. Room Temperature

There are differences among doctors regarding the appropriate room temperature for babies to sleep in but most of them agree that it should be on the cooler side. A hotter room can create discomfort in sleeping.  Most doctors suggest making your baby sleep in a room which has a temperature of 60 – 67 degrees Fahrenheit.

#4. Sleeping Position

Always put your baby to rest on their back. Indeed, now and then your tiny tot can be moved. When they roll over on their stomach, it is alright for them to rest in that position for some time then you can move them so they are back to the old position. Everyone loves sleeping; a correct sleeping position would ensure that your baby enjoys his sleep and doesn’t wake up cranky.

#5. Diapers

From nappies to diapers, babies have got everything to take care of them. Mostly, these have made lives easier for parents who don’t have to worry about bedwetting anymore. Diapers have a major contribution to increasing the quality of sleep time. Parents must ensure that the baby doesn’t sleep with a diaper which is wet or soggy from inside. You wouldn’t want to be woken up with cries in the night; to avoid that, change your baby’s diaper before bedtime.

#6. Sleeping Time-table

It’s worth noting that infants don’t really know the difference between the daytime and nighttime. A sleep schedule that feels natural to you is not so natural for your baby after birth. It doesn’t last long though; by the age of four months, most babies naturally switch to sleeping at night. The problem is that it takes them some time to figure out how to do it. To enhance the quality of your baby’s sleep, make sure that you sleep at the right time and keep it constant.

#7. Cuddling

It’s always better to put your baby to bed after cuddling. Most parents sleep with their babies and physical soothing comes naturally. Just in case the baby is put in a crib, spend some time in cuddling so that sudden break of contact doesn’t cause any disturbance. Also, make sure that the baby has to be put to sleep gently. So, you can cuddle for a few minutes and then proceed to bedtime. This is helpful in developing a healthy sleep cycle for your bundle of joy.

#8. Avoid Strong Scents

For babies, the natural scent of the mother or caretaker’s body creates the best environment for sleeping. Strong perfumes are perhaps not the best solution in case you want your little version to sleep peacefully. In case you don’t want your baby to wake up crying in the middle of the night, you can always choose to swaddle them with the t-shirt, kurta or similar clothing which contains your natural body odour. Nothing is better than that.
