I do not focus after sitting at a desk for a long period of time, and I also am not a strong test taker. So, I really just dislike studying overall.

Balancing Your Schedule
A large part of maintaining a balanced schedule involves an organized planner. However, there is much more to perfecting your daily schedule. Something I recently started using to help me manage my time is a block schedule. You know, the one we used in high school? Applying this method to each day of the week not only keeps me on track, but it motivates me to get up and start my day. I am definitely one who prefers getting work done in the morning, but not one who enjoys waking up early. Block scheduling my day has made such a difference on the time spent on school, work, and even…
