11 Lifehack Student Tips
Productivity
As many of you may realize, one of my favourite blogs on this topic is Lifehack.org. This is because of the huge number of high quality posts they can continually produce each and every day. And once again they have done it. Thanks to Dustin Wax, we know have 11 more tips for having a great semester:
- Get organized
- Know your professor
- Find a mentor
- Visit the writing center
- Join something
- Speak up
- Read for pleasure
- Start something
- Set goals
- Fail
- Find balance
Perhaps the most important one in my opinion is number #3. A mentor is just someone who is older and wiser than you in a particular field. This can be anything from an older student to a professor or even someone out in the field. I personally have a lot of older students who help me with problems or concepts whenever I get stuck. Most people are ready and willing to help you out, but you have ask.
A note on point 6 – although it is very beneficial to answer questions because it helps you and gives the lecturer feedback, do not constantly be the person to answer all the questions. Remember to allow others to provide feedback as well. It can be quite irritating for your fellow students if one person is always answering everything.
Setting goals is another very important facet of anyone’s life, not just for university. I have written a previous post about setting goals, and I recommend to everyone that they do it.
Following these tips can help you improve your GPA, but they will also make you feel less stressed, and more capable of continuing along the difficult path that you have chosen. Studying for several years at a time is never easy, but it does not have to be as hard as people make it out to be.
