So what is it that causes some students to be successful in school and other
students to have a sub subpar school semester? Well,
in this video,
I'm going to talk about the seven habits of highly affective.
Check this out at home students. You know,
right now I realize you may be taking online classes, you may be homeschooling,
you may just be stuck at home with your parents going through the school year.
But in this video,
I'm going to break down the PR of the appropriate study habits that you should
have to make this an awesome, awesome school year. Watch this video.
Hey, what's up? I'm Kansas simmers and welcome to the Qantas Semon show.
Yes,
I shoot videos and audios to help you succeed in school and help you succeed in
life. Now,
I've been received in a lot of different messages and emails and conversations
about this whole ordeal with going to school at home.
Yes, I realized that this school year, you know, it's been adjusted.
Things have been uncomfortable for all of us,
but what can you do right now?
What Kingaroy student do right now to still have an awesome,
awesome school year? Now I want to say this, uh,
if you will love the free copy of my bestselling book, play your a game.
It's all about how to stay motivated, remain focused and succeed in school,
in life. Now let's just be honest.
You can lose a lot of motivation and your focus can be all over the place.
And if you want, you know, access to this book free for you or your student.
Hey, simply go to play your a game book.com.
Play your a game, book.com.
So I want to take some time to identify the seven study habits that I believe
that you as a student should maintain,
should develop and should mature in this school year.
Number one is around
scheduling. Yes, scheduling. Let's keep an honest, right?
You wouldn't normally have a schedule during the traditional school year.
You know what time you wake up, you know what time you would catch the bus,
you know what time you have to be at your first class and move to the other
classes.
But right now your schedule may be all over the place,
especially when you're at home. So here's what I recommend you to do,
whether you're a student or parent or even a family.
I need you guys to come together and develop a schedule and this schedule will
now create, create a routine. Okay. So let's say for example,
you know,
you would catch the bus or at seven o'clock in the morning and you will wake up
at 6:00 AM on the traditional school days. So my recommendation is this,
go ahead and set that same schedule while you're in at home,
homeschool, or maybe you're in online college. All right,
so go ahead and decide when you will wake up.
Go ahead and decide when you will report to class and what classes you were
studying. Hey, set their lunch break. Set your um,
recess time. Listen,
plan the entire day because now once you have a schedule,
a great habit now is putting yourself in a routine. All right,
so number one is scheduling. Number two is studying. Yes,
studying. Now here's the deal.
Just because you're at home, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't study, right?
If something about studying that helps you better prepare for not only class,
but also helps you prepare for life.
I believe that keeps the mind strong when you study.
So here's what I want you to do along with your schedule.
I want you to put in your study time now is specifically,
I want you to do a few things. We're studying this concern. Number one,
I want you to identify the place that you will study.
For example, right? Let's say you go to the bathroom.
Everybody knows that when you go to the bathroom, even your body knows,
your body knows to purge itself, right?
When you go to the kitchen and you sit down at the kitchen table,
your body knows that, Hmm, it's time to eat.
When you lay in the bed,
your body knows what it's time to go to sleep and so what I want you to do to
program yourself is fine.
One location in your home and the only thing you do in that one location is
study. So where to study, it's so important. Number two,
when to study,
I recommend that you maneuver your schedule and you start studying the more
hardest subjects that you're taking.
Study those subjects around when you have most of your superpowers or most of
your energy. Now I know some people are early risers,
they have a lot of energy in the morning.
Then somehow have a lot of energy in the afternoon and late in the evening as
you're preparing your schedule. Yes. You know,
you may have times where you report a to class online.
There are some times where you may talk to your teacher,
but when it comes down to studying, I need you to set a time.
I need you to set a place and then all saw him go on to say, listen, Hey,
you still have friends out there. You still have your classmates. Right.
Go ahead and also identify study buddies. I say this all the time,
right?
Your GPA in life is the average of the five people you hang around the most.
I would even say it this way. Your GPA in school is also right.
The average of the five people you study with. So number one, number two,
we're studying this concern and identify where to study,
when you're going to study, and even who you going to study with,
even if that's at home or online. Here's number three.
The third thing is reading. Reading. Listen,
believe me, I understand right now Netflix is popper.
Amazon prime is poppin video games are popping,
YouTube is popping,
but there's something so important about reading, you know,
the same way that we work our bodies off, physically reading,
it's anonymous, synonymous of that to the mind.
So I want you to develop this habit of reading at least 15 to 30 minutes per
day. Yes, sit down, find a great book and just read,
right? Keep your mind fresh.
Train yourself to not only, you know, watch TV and play video games,
but train yourself to learn how to focus on one thing.
And I believe you do that through reading. Not only that,
but I can also show you that, um, the more successful people in life,
they read books, all right? Why? Because they keep in their mind for us.
But also to you. When you invest in reading,
there's just something more that you get out of your life versus watching
television, right? Television can tell a vision,
trash in, trash out. If you're watching trash on television,
trash to come into your life, right? If you're investing in yourself,
good things.
I've always believed you're going to return on that investment and those things
are good for you. Here's number four. Number four. Believe it or not,
the fourth habit is speaking. Yes, speaking.
Now what are you saying? Qantas, right?
When we go through our normal traditional school day,
we come across hundreds and hundreds of our colleagues, teachers,
friends. We just come across people, right? But when you're at home,
there's probably all the one or two,
three or four people in your home that you can speak to.
But I want you to develop a habit of speaking now from the South here in
Atlanta, Georgia. And I find myself when I hang around my mom and my dad,
you know, we talked fast, we were just casual.
We will just use the whole family, uh, language, right?
But I want you to stay
with this habit of speaking, taking the time to,
uh, in such a way that you can use proper grammar.
You're speaking in such a way that your addiction is on point,
but not only that,
when you can speak on the things that you're studying,
it also shows you that you'd know the information.
So another great habit is speaking. So we've got scheduling, studying,
reading, speaking, and let's go with
wow.
Rewarding yourself. Yes. Rewarding yourself.
Now I believe that, um, those that are,
are going to have and will have a successful school year,
especially when you're at home. Uh,
you must tie in rewards. Here's what I mean.
If you sit down to study for let's say 50 minutes,
take a 10 minute break to reward yourself.
That may be having a snack that may be playing a video game that may be calling
a friend.
Or let's say you go through the entire day and you set your scheduling.
You've had a great, great day. Maybe you, you, uh,
took the time to submit an essay or write a report or, or do some research.
But once all that is over,
I want you to find something that you can do to reward yourself. Listen,
parents, those that are watching this video, listen,
I encourage you to find something that you can do to reward your student for
having a successful hour or even a successful day or even as success full week.
So reward yourself. Listen, we all like rewards, but when you put in the work,
I believe that you should be rewarded for the work.
Whether you are rewarding yourself or maybe you're rewarding somebody else.
Here's number six. The sixth thing that I want you to do.
Boom. Testing. Yes. Testing. So what am I saying?
A lot of times students wait till the last minute to prepare for a test,
right? People study for test. My recommendation to you,
even at home is that the best way for you to prepare for a test is by taking
more tests, right? Yes. Taking more tests, right?
For those of you that have your driver's license, let's think about it, right?
You had to drive a car so you can take their driver's license test,
right? Football players, right? They go on,
they go to practice and they play football so they can get to get in the game
and play football. The same is true where successful students are concerned.
I want you to get an a, a daily habit of testing yourself.
If you're studying something, test yourself, right?
Go online and find tests to prove that you understand the information.
The more and more you test yourself,
the more and more you can prove that you know the information.
So get in the habit of testing yourself. And here's the last one.
Hopefully you guys can see this one. It's pretty low here.
Let me adjust my camera. So he makes you guys can see it there. Boom.
Yes. That last one. Number seven is resting.
Resting. Now this goes back to your schedule and your routine,
right? Go ahead and continue to have that proper rest, right.
Establish the time for you to go to bed at.
Establish the time that you are to wake up.
Resting is so important to the body. Listen,
don't burn yourself out as a student.
But if you do what I'm saying with these habits, Hey, it'll be easy to rest.
Your body needs to rest. Your mind needs the rest. Listen,
the blood and your body needs the rest. So now when you are awake,
you can be effective. You can be productive and you can be strong.
Now I realize I gave you seven study habits,
but let me go ahead and give you 7.25 study habits for those that follow me.
You realize I'm the coolest guy, was 7.25 fingers. Hey,
here's the 7.2 fifth habit. I'm gonna write it over here.
Boom. And that is thinking,
yes. Thinking your mental yes. Thinking,
I believe this. Uh, the good book says this as a man thinketh.
So is he.
I like to say it this way for students as a student,
as a student thinks so will he and his grades be.
So if you think you're going to fail, guess what? You're going to fail.
If you think you're sorry, guess what? You're sorry.
If you think you're going to fail a test or you won't pass that class,
you're going to have just that.
I want you to take some time to really think about what you're thinking about.
Did you hear that? Spent some time thinking about what you think about, right,
especially during this time period. I want you to think, you know, am I fearing,
I want you to think, Hmm, well my family go broke.
I want you to think all of the doubts,
the fears and the negative concerns that you may have and realize this as a
people, we're strong as an individual. You're strong. Listen,
you can do this. You can be an a student. You can go to college,
you can find a degree. You can find a an amazing job.
You can find the love of your life. Listen, you can be whatever you want to be.
You can do whatever you want to do. You can have whatever you want to have.
Just allow your hopes to outweigh your fears and you will succeed.
And it all starts with thinking.
So I want to give you these 7.25 study habits of highly affective at home
students. Number one, scheduling. Number two,
studying number three, reading number four, speaking.
Number five, re rewarding yourself. A number six,
testing number seven, resting.
