The 20 Steps To Effective Studying

according to Vidya Pillai


Step 1 : Decide to study.

Step 2 : Tweet about it.

Step 3 : Decide what to study.

Step 4 : Tweet about that too.

Step 5 : Hunt for textbook, notebook and stationery.

Step 6 : Rearrange desk to create more space for studying.

Step 7 : Move laptop out of the way.

Step 8 : Place textbooks in middle of desk to begin.

Step 9 : Realize you have no study music.

Step 10 : Push textbooks out of the way, pull laptop to centre of desk again and open iTunes.

Step 11 : Start compiling a playlist of instrumental songs.

Step 12 : Listen to each song in turn to make sure there is nothing too upbeat or loud that could interfere with thinking process.

Step 13 : Realize 1 hour has passed.

Step 14 : Check twitter one last time, close all tabs, close iTunes, and then realize you have conveniently forgotten to save the study playlist.

Step 15 : Begin compiling music again.

Step 16 : Go on youtube to search for more music. Fall in love with random youtube artists and listen to everything they've ever uploaded.

Step 17 : Take a walk because it is unhealthy to have been sitting in front of a laptop for 3 hours.

Step 18 : Rearrange desk again because the layout obviously isn't conducive for studying. Feel really tired after that.

Step 19 : Take 20-minute power nap. Wake up 3 hours later.

Step 20 : Decide the whole thing was a hopeless endeavor anyway and abort mission.








This post was weak attempt at satire,
because I'm in a foul mood today and it's already Thursday and I haven't touched a single page of any of my textbooks.
I am angry at myself,
and yet not quite willing to begin studying.


yes.
