Question : Keeping Heavier Stuff At The Start Of The Day

Answer :

  • Start your day early. One tends to be at one’s most efficient early in the day and as the day wears on, you would start to lose your motivation as well as physical and mental strength, and it becomes difficult to carry on. So make the most of the early hours.
  • Prioritize well -by prioritizing, we mean choosing what to read when. For example, just after waking up, our mind is not at its best. It tends to be at its best after about 1-2 hours. So start your day with something lighter like revision for an hour and a half. Then pick the densest subject (e.g. Optional). Divide study time into slots of 1.5 hrs (2 hrs if you are really going strong) and no more. Because after that, productivity decreases. After each slot, take 10 min break. Don’t leave your desk then. Just close your eyes and try to grasp what you read. After studying for 2 slots, take a longer break and just walk around your room. It helps in internalizing concepts and keeps one refreshed.
