Apply the S.M.A.R.T principles, developed by Edwin Locke, to unlock your full potential and succeed in your studies. While planning for the week ahead, you must think Specific, Measurable, Acceptable, Realistic, and Time-bound. This student-planner helps you plan the week ahead:

​

(1) Write down all study-appointments in your weekly planner.

(2) Write down the already planned and Important social events and appointments.

(3) Include two to three time-spots to relax and exercise.

(4) Finally, write down the self-study time in the free spots.

 

Check for all study activities by using the S.M.A.R.T principles:

 

Specific:

What exactly will I be studying? One subject, or more.

Where will I study? What materials do I need?

Set the objectives of your study.

 

Measurable:

How will I know I have attained my objectives? Have I understood? Have I completed my homework? Have I read all the required pages?

 

Acceptable:

Did I scheduled my study time late at night when I am too tired? Is the study time too close to the exams?

 

Realistic:

Will I certainly have enough time to cover all this material?

 

Time-bound:

When to start and stop? Is the period of study enough? Is it too long? When will I have a break?
