How to Plan your Day as a Student

Looking for the most straightforward answer: “How to plan your day as a student.” This blog is all about the answers you are looking for. Successful planning is the first step toward success. It is based on practical steps rather than empty motives. Many people plan their days, months & years but do not implement those plans. The only reason for this is that they cannot plan their day well.

Remember that day itself is the basis of one month and one year. Your entire year’s building will be perfect if you have a good foundation of well-planned days. Planning for the future makes you feel motivated every time, makes you believe in your ambition, and builds a brighter future by utilizing existing resources. Let me introduce you to three step formula of “How to Plan your Day as a Student”.

Planning does not mean you have to engage yourself all day, but planning means engaging yourself in productive tasks like successful ones and completing them by implementing them.

Some questions will come to your mind, such as:

1. Why do I plan?

2. When should I plan?

3. How to plan?

One common thing in all of us is that we all have twenty-four hours (86400 seconds) and usage of that time decides whether we will have a successful day or a failing day.

Why plan?

     Goals + Daily Action = Achieving Your Dream.

Suppose today is a Sunday fun day, and you are free to do what you ever you want to do.

What you will do?

#1 of “How to Plan your day as a student” is “Why you should plan your day”. Suppose You get up at 11 o’clock, have breakfast, then spend your time with your smartphone & laptop watching Netflix. But if we plan the same Sunday, we can make it more beautiful, like the beautiful morning walk, reading a good book, helping mom in the kitchen or helping father in the garden. Go & spend quality time with your family by going to the place. Plus, you can plan for the coming week. You can watch a movie this Sunday in which you can learn something new.

So, here are your next Assignments for next Sunday that you have to do & mark tick after completing it.

2. When to plan?

#2 of “How to Plan your day as a Student” is about timing. Planning enables you to do a lot of work in a limited period of time. When to plan the day? The best time to plan a day is the Night Before. Take your diary and list all the tasks you need to do tomorrow, for example.

• Waking up at 05 am

•15-minute morning walk

•5 Pages of the Book.

•Playing Badminton in the evening.

And engage yourself in the small things that increase your productivity so that you will find small achievements in your life which will make you a great success.

3- How to plan?

#3 and final step of “How to plan your day as a student is about “The Art of Planning”. I believe that 90% of plans get failed even if they are for a day because one of the main mistakes we make when planning is that we don’t prioritize our essential tasks. Morning is the time when our brain is at maximum capacity (if you took quality sleep) & to get the best out of your brain in the morning is to involve yourself in learning & productive tasks such as reading, writing etc. What we do is precisely the opposite of that. We search our smartphones to check the new posts on Facebook and Instagram & to know who sent us what on WhatsApp, which is the most useless activity with a high-performance brain. You must give yourself a better version of activities. Try to complete your day’s essential & productive tasks early in the morning, like reading 5 pages of some book or writing something. So, from today, please commit to spending your day disciplined and plan it to make your daytime more beautiful and brighter.

                             Make a To-Do List

The “Art of Planning” Involves some practical work, and here, you need only one thing. A Diary for your daily Log. You can create a chart like this to do your daily tasks consistently, as these are really simple but effective. Just write down the Task (reading a book), target (5 pages) & achieved (how much you read). Mark all the achieved statuses at the end of the day (if convenient) to check out how many tasks you have completed & how much you couldn’t complete.
