A lighter schedule, or carlier rising, will practically climinate even~
ing study from such a program. Saturday afternoon and at least one evening dur-
ing the week can almost always be left free. If you are working on the outside
your working hours should be included in the schedule, but if you cannot still ©
allow enough time for study and have a little left for recreation you are proba-
bly carrying too heavy a schedule.

5. Sunday has been left out in the chart above. There is always plenty to do
on Sunday; it is a good shock-absorber, and one need not. be a Puritan to believe
that one day's rest in seven is good for him, if he can get ie =

6. Wrive into your chart the hours which are beyond your control: class peri-
ods and outside working hours.

7, Put in the time for studying cach subject. If possible, study a subject
immediately after your class mects. This has three advantages: (1) You are --
more interested then. This is especially helpful if it is a subject you find
rather dull anyway. (2) Less time will be needed for review and you will be less
likely to be confused as to the assignment. (3) The following recitation will
review what you study, after a lapse of twenty-three hours or more. By this
you lose the advantage of recency when you recite, but you will learn more by

considering the matter at two separate times instead of only once, as happens
when you study just before class time.

8, Study an hour or two at a time on one subject. When you are studying
interesting material and material which you are trying to learn by reasoning
rather than pure memory, longer periods are usually better. It is distracting
to have to keep one cye on the clock all the time because of very short periods.

9, When it is timo to start, start with a determination. The water is never
so cold if you dive in as it is when you inch in, not to mention the waste of
time.

10. When it is time to stop studying one subject and begin another, do it.
Otherwise you will let the more interesting study regularly encroach on the
time of the less interesting. Everything else being equal it is better to put
less interesting study before the more interesting, as you probably know from
experience. ie et

ll. If the assignment doesn't take all the scheduled time,--and it often
won't,--why not use the extra time to ensure yourself of more than ordinary
‘learning? Reviews, and going beyond the requirements of the assignment, are
