Doubts# part4

 The 4th doubt session

Hi readers! Hope you are doing well! 

Here is the 4th doubt session , addressing the queries put forth by you all . The first is by Nidhi of 10th. U will surely be able to co relate yorself with it. So here it goes!

Mai Roz Padhti hu any 2 or 3 subjects:  one Chapter each day but how to do quality learning. I don't think I do quality learning but I think that I do quantity learning.

As i told in my newspaper interview as well, i TRIED to do quality learning. If i studied for 4 hrs, i would make sure that i did the best in those 4 hours. 

Now the question is, you hv made a schedule. You have completed it. But you are doubtful about your learning. Here are some tips for the same.

• Try to avoid social media distractions, the ways i had already suggested to you. Merely reading my blog would not bring any difference to you. Start following it as soon as possible. 
• Try to Re-Do things. Read a paragraph. Try to make sense out of what it is trying to say. Comprehend it. And read it again. Then try to shut down your eyes and recall it without seeing. The next step is to check whether the thing you recalled was correct or not. 
• Try to self-assess yourself by solving the back exercises of each chapter. 
• Its good to make a schedule n follow it.. but its not useful if u just do the subject with a view to strike it off from your pending work. Its good only if you do the study very well and with the aim to learn something from it. 
• Instead of this, its better that you do 1 chapter in a day but very nicely. So nicely that if i ask you any question out of it, you will be able to answer it.
• Quality learning has one more aspect, and that is to do the things which are important,  very nicely and for the less important topics, just a brush up. An alternative to this can be to do each topic from your chapter. Mark the easy topics and devote less time to them during your revision or tests. 

Second query : 

Mera padhai mei dil nhi lag raha... Even jab mai mun bana k baithti hu tab bhi Pata nhi kya ho jata h ki bus Pata nhi kaise do ghante beet jate hai aur..... Result kuch nhi milta .. kya karoon.....😞

So, yes! This is indeed a very genuine question in the present time.. But you should see the positivity in this as well... Although you are away from your friends, you are saved from travelling to school n tuition in such a scorching heat! You should try to make a time table and manage your time, instead of cursing the time. Utilise those idle school hours i

• Spend time on yourself. Don't study when you can't. Use that time for some other activitity.
• Make a light schedule in the first week. Take your time and be at ease. Gear up from the next week. 
• When your mind starts diverting, slap yourself hard. Even i used to do this 😅😅😜😜Nothing to be embarrassed about. You have full control n ownership over yourself! Hit yourself hard, think about the students who will be studying at this time, contact someone who can inspire you, like your best frnd( exceptions r always there as i told u in the previous blogs. Beware of them plz) , your sibling, your parents.. tell them to scold you.. etc etc. And yes! Contact me as well 😅😅 i ll give you a full doze of motivation and you'll surely be able to study! 
• Don't waste the time which you cannot study in, on phone n tv. Try to spend that time with nature, do something interesting, and explore yourself.  This is the best time to do so. 
• Keep a small notepad and jot down in it, the amount of time you wasted on useless activities and uncontrolled thinking. 
• Learn from today and don't waste your tomorrow. If you wasted today, work double harder tomorrow n cope up with your schedule of today.
• Keep yourself motivated and just Try, try and try. You'll get what you want. 
• Have courage and faith. This too shall pass, very soon. 

Enough for the day.

Say goodbye to social media distractions!

 Hello and welcome to my next post on the blog made for ýòù all!

First of all, i would apologize for the delay which was due to my exams 😓😓. 

And a big thanks to you all for having patience. I was extremely overwhelmed by Nidhi of 10th who kept on asking me about when the next blog would be ready.. Thank you so much ! Here's tht lovely query ♥️♥️

Also, i expect that you all have started following your schedules. If not, do it and tell me and all other readers about your progress, in the comments.

So without further delay, here we go!

Before we proceed:

If you havnt seen earlier posts, you may go and read them. Links r available at the bottom of this page.

Now about today's topic..

What is social media and how does it distract you? You must hv thought why don't books distract you? 😂😂😂😂 Why just social media take this curse? 

Social media has the power to make you stop reading books and look at them. That's why u get the URGE to view just 1 more story , just 1 more snap, just one more status, just one more chat and waste just 1 more minute.. By wasting these consecutive 1-1 minutes, you end up wasting quite a big part of your time. You can, of course. No1 will stop you.. But you shouldn't. Here's y?

• You waste your study time.
• You fall behind the student who didnt waste that time in scrolling uselessly. 
• Your scores MAY degrade. Not in all cases. Some may cope up their time and finish off the syllabus.
• The more you open it, the more you get distracted and attracted towards it.
• You lose your concentration. 
• You get spectacles 👀👀
• You use your phone more than your books and then the heart of books gets broken and then they dont feel like getting studied by you and then you dont get the urge to study and then you dont get marks. Read this again. Its true. Very true. Not a joke at all.

How can you avoid distractions from social media around you? And how did i avoided them during my time?

P.S. i was quite active on social media and i DID NOT TAKE A SANYAS FROM IT.

• While studying my schedules, i used to keep my phone in the other room/ turn off the mobile data/ switch it off/ turn down the notifications and volume. 
• I used to set TARGETS. Not like i would not use phone till the end of the day or so.. i used to set small targets.  Like i would not use it till i completed the chapter or i would not use it for the next 1 hour or 2 hours.. 
• I used to talk mainly to 2-3 friends, Simar being the topmost. We both had a very good coordination and tuning, like we used to decide a time when we would be online, and we would tell each other our target before going offline for the next duration. At the scheduled time, we would come online and tell each other if we could complete it . This is the MOST HELPFUL WAY TO STUDY WELL AND TOGETHER. Now dont be shocked and start thinking u cannot be so serious. My dear juniors and fellow mates, remember 1 thing in life. If you think that you have to do something, you will surely try to do it and you WILL SUCCEED. A 100% proved thing.. and about being serious, we were not. We used to waste our time on chatting n doing other things. But only after completing the scheduled work. If we can, you also can.
• For the above steps, you need to be social. Social here means " man is a social animal". Vo vala social. Have a person, like a friend or elder or sibling or even a teacher who you can coordinate with. Try it out today. Not tomorrow. Not in the morning, afternoon, evening etc.. Do it now. Pair with your friend right now. If you get no1, i ll be there. You can regularly send me your target and you ll complete it under my surveillance 👻👻😜😜. 
• I used to keep a gift for myself .. like if i decided tht i wont use phone for 2 hours, and if i did it, i used to give myself a chocolate or something i liked. You should have a strong craving for the thing you decide. 
• DETERMINE. WORK ON IT. MOTIVATE YOURSELF. AND SUCCESS WILL BE YOURS. 

I am sure that if you follow even one of the above methods, you will succeed. Not at the first attempt, but gradually and eventually. You will. And i believe. You can . Each one of you can. 

No one is a genius.  And this way is not a bed of roses. I have faced many trials and tribulations. But my parents, my crazy cat(my sis) , some of my friends have always encouraged me. But not all can encourage you. Some will always say to you," Whats the use of getting marks ? This is just school .. and you shouldn't burden yourself. Stop these schedules and stop being serious." But you should not get into these types of airs.. If you want to succeed, you shoukd try try try and try. Even i have faced many challenges, times of trials and tribulations but we need courage and a constant source of inspiration. And our close ones can always help us go through them. 

Ending quote: A bit of motivation..

Watch your thoughts, they become your words.

Watch your words, they become your actions.

Watch your actions, they become your habits.

Watch your habits, they become your character. 

Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

So this was all about today's discussion. Dm me your doubts/ put them up in the comments section. I ll address them in the next blog. 

Also, write up in the comments, which topic should be the next blog be on. 

And i hv a good news to share. I am elated to announce that some of my poems have been selected in various global anthologies and the books will come up soon, on all digital platforms, like google reads, kindle, etc. I m extremely excited for them! Hope you are, too 🤩🤩🥰🥰 

I hope this blog was good. Do your homework and come up with a better version of yourself in my next blog. Stay tuned. Stay home. Stay safe. God bless u all!❤❤💙💙💚💚💛💛💜💜❤❤
