Study habits have been broken new habits have crept in, and it can be difficult to get back to the way things were or even learn new ways of doing. Where do we even begin?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color:#22b4c1\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Why are good study habits so important?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">It\u2019s not always about having \u201csmarts\u201d, but rather studying smart. Ironically, intellectual ability plays a small part and developing effective organisational skills and good study habitsgo a long way. Having the right tools and resources is a great place to startand can make sticking to those habits easier.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.papervideo.co.za\/\">Paper Video<\/a> is a platform that can help. High school learners from grade 8 to12 can accessresources and materials needed toget to grips with challenging subjects like Maths, Physical Science, Life Scienceand Accounting. The tutoring and video lessons, with expert teachers in each field, give learners the freedom to work through the material at their own pace with a progress tracker to help them stay on track and get into the study habit of things.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Here are a few more tricks and traits highly effective studentsuse to develop new study habits and ditch the bad ones.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color:#22b4c1\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong><strong>What\u2019s the secret recipe to becoming an efficient student?<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">\u201cThey are passionate and love school.\u201dYes, we can hear your eyes rolling and it couldn\u2019t be the furthest thing from the truth, in fact, passion and a love for school have no relationship with learners\u2019 effectiveness or success.\u00a0 People think, for example, you have to love math to be good at it, sure this helps, but success actually comes down to one surprising factor: Self-belief.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">According to Jihyun Lee, Associate Professor at the School of Education at the University of New South Wales, an almost 4-year study concluded that direct correlations between students\u2019 academic achievement and their attitudes toward school were near zero. The factor that sets academically able and less able students apart is self-belief. Being able to believe in their own problem-solving abilities is far more important than their perception of school itself.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color:#22b4c1\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong><strong><strong>8 Habits of Successful Students<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">So, \u201cself-belief\u201d is easier said than done. Doubting ourselves and our capabilities will always be an uphill battle. Along with a tutoring resource like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.papervideo.co.za\/\">Paper Video<\/a> to really help students understand their work without any added pressure, good study habits for high school learners can slowly, but surely, build up the confidence to know \u201cthat we know\u201d the answers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color:#22b4c1\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Time Management<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">You don\u2019t have to be Doctor Strange to understand and appreciate the vital element of time \u2013 so give yourself enough of it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><span style=\"color:#22b4c1\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Prioritise <\/span><\/strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">difficult content or projects first \u2013 things you know will take longer.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color:#22b4c1\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Create a timetable<\/strong>,<\/span> <span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">especially during exam season.

Author and entrepreneur James Clear\u2019s <em>Atomic Habits<\/em> highlights a few ways in which we can all build good habits.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<p><span style=\"color:#22b4c1\" class=\"has-inline-color\">1. Habit stacking<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Everyone has strong pre-existing habits, for instance, your brain knows that you need to take a shower in the morning. Habit stacking is where you pair a new habit with a current one rather than a specific time or location.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#22b4c1\" class=\"has-inline-color\">2. Make negative habits undesirable<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">If you become aware of a bad habit, replace it with a new one, preferably one that makes you feel better or put boundaries in place that make it difficult \u2013 like hiding your phone or putting it on plane mode when you start studying.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#22b4c1\" class=\"has-inline-color\">3.Don\u2019t skip your habits<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Your brain builds a strong network of neurons to support your current behaviours. The more you do something, the stronger and more efficient the connection becomes. Follow the two-day rule and never skip a habit for more than one day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#22b4c1\" class=\"has-inline-color\">4.Set rewards for completing a habit<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">We know what you\u2019re thinking, not the cookie analogy again. It\u2019s a phycological term called \u201cdangling\u201d and helpful when self-motivation is difficult. It can be as simple as telling your family members about breaking the habit so they can celebrate with you or giving yourself a 20-minute social media break for hiding your phone for an hour.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Good study habits not only help learners become efficient but build the self-belief that helps tackle any problem high school might throw at them. Start with healthy lifestyle choices and great resources to help get you there.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Sign up for a Free Paper Video
