What tasks
do you do well?
You have many skills that you
use in everyday life such as
writing, listening, drawing,
talking, and so on. But often,
when asked what good
study skills you have, the
most common answer is,
“I don’t know!” What most
people don’t understand
is how to take those
everyday skills and turn
them into effective study habits.
The reality is that academic studying is often considered boring and many
don’t have the slightest idea where to begin.
Do you believe this?
What’s worse is that some of the everyday “content” you learn is constantly
changing.
What you learn today may be null and void
tomorrow.
