Study Notes
- Applying information is more important than memorizing isolated facts; understanding the impact of cerebellar damage on a person's life, rather than just the cerebellum's function, is crucial.
- College courses typically require 2-3 hours of study time for every 1 hour of class time, so a 3-hour class needs 6-9 hours of study per week.
- General Psychology is considered a difficult course, with many students studying more than the typical 6-9 hours per week to achieve a good grade.
- The 6-9 hours of study time each week usually equates to a "C" grade.
Self-Discipline & You
- Many college students are surprised by the amount of freedom afforded to them and students who capitalize on personal strengths and soft skills, like self-discipline, are generally more successful.
- A hindrance to performance in academics or life is not realizing your full potential with a mindset of success being beneficial.
Self-Discipline Involves Optimism
- Self-discipline includes optimism, and the ability to view situations positively, despite circumstances, requiring both the belief and drive to maintain this perspective.
- Optimism about goals can mitigate negativity from potential setbacks, with cognitive expectations influencing how one perceives and engages with the world.
Self-Discipline Involves Time Management
- Self-discipline involves time management, requiring awareness of current time usage and a willingness to make changes for better efficiency.
- Effective time management starts with monitoring and recording how time is spent without intervention, in order to see how their time is currently spent.
- After collecting the data, adjust the counter-productive activities [time-wasters] to be eliminated, and time blocks opened up for actual work.
- Sticking to a new, efficient schedule requires self-discipline, with small, tailored rewards providing positive reinforcement and immediate gratification.
Self-Discipline Involves Personal Responsibility
- Self-discipline involves personal responsibility, which assumes accountability for successes and failures as well as enables clarity of vision.
- Understanding the reasons behind successes and failures allows individuals to correct behaviors that lead to failure.
- Create a list of positive and negative attributes to shift the balance towards the positive aspects using self-discipline to be honest and responsible for the work needed.
- Self discipline can serve as an evolving and self-correcting personal aid for success in both academic life and life in general.
