What are your HABITS?


Here we are in the early stages of the fall semester and you are getting accustomed to your class schedule.    Take a minute to think about what kinds of habits you are developing.  Below are some positive habits that will lead you to success and some negative ones that will get in the way of your success:

Positive – heading for success
Negative – roadblocks to success
Going to the Library to study after class
Reviewing notes immediately after class
Getting a good night’s sleep
Eating healthy food
Exercising
Building in relaxation and “fun” time
Having goals for the day, week and semester
Getting to class early and reviewing the previous notes
Finding help when it is needed
Going back to your room after class and taking a nap
Not looking at your notes until the night before an exam
Staying up late and hanging out with friends
Not keeping track of your assignments
Getting to class late
Skipping class!
Partying too much

It is important to develop positive habits while it is early in the semester.  It is much harder to change a bad habit than to start a positive habit from the beginning.  What positive habits have you incorporated into your days and weeks?  What habits might you change before they are too ingrained?  Be sure that how you are spending your time, energy and effort is getting you to your end goal!
