Fifteen Minutes to Higher Grades

By:

Adults returning to college are normally a far better bet for success than students more recently out of high school because of their maturity, life experience, and strong goal-orientation.

But, older student face other challenges.

It is not always easy to divide one's week so that career, family, and education all get the time they require. And, while students in online degree programs have more flexibility than those attending on-campus classes on a fixed schedule, they still face the pressures of keeping up with readings and other assignments.

Good time management skills and strong self-discipline, important to all students, are even more necessary to adults facing family, career, and academic demands.

And, even students with great time management skills often overlook one important technique. A technique which requires little effort but can pay big dividends.

Unfortunately, there is no way to add days or hours to your week, but you can find extra hours, without much trouble, to work on your studies. All you have to do is think about fifteen minute "dead" periods during your week. If you can identify two fifteen minute periods a day during which you can study, you will have added three and a half hours a week to your study time.

If you think about it, you'll realize just how much you can get done in fifteen minutes. You can revise your notes, review a difficult concept, reread a complex passage, email a classmate or professor, choose a topic for a paper, etc.

Fifteen minutes can be a significant amount of time; enough time to get something accomplished. And, for most people, it is not too difficult to find at least two fifteen minute blocks of time daily. How about getting up just fifteen minutes earlier every day and spending that time doing schoolwork? What about spending fifteen minutes at your office before going home at the end of your workday? Perhaps you could read while eating breakfast or lunch.

A perennial Dean's List student I know, who is in the Honor's Program at a major university, sits down to between fifteen and thirty minutes of study whenever she returns to her apartment. No matter where she has been or for how long, she never makes an exception. And, nobody remembers the last time (if ever) she earned a final grade below an "A".

Everyone, no matter how busy, can find two fifteen minute periods a day to add to their regularly scheduled study time. And, the additional hours those minutes add up to can make a big difference in a student's level of success.
