Stop Overthinking

 Let’s start with an interesting story. A teacher gave 2 hard questions to the class. He gave them time, but no student could answer. 20 minutes passed, but no one was able to solve the questions. Then the teacher called a topper student. He gave an easy question to solve, but he couldn’t. T

hen he solves those 2 questions on the board. After solving those questions, he called an average student and gave them another 2 questions to solve, and surprisingly, he solved them, even though the topper couldn’t solve an easy question. However, all the students were shocked by this. 

Well, how did they solve it? The topper couldn’t solve the easy question because of his mental pressure from not being able to solve the previous questions. After solving those previous 2 questions, it became easier for the student to understand the next question.

Overthinking is the main problem for our study problem. We think of what the family, neighbors, friends, and society will think if I fail to get good results. If you pressurize your brain, it will not work properly. You may study for 12-14 hours a day, but it will not get you good results. 

So the fact is that you have to stop overthinking. It will hamper your study only. Concentration on study is the main factor. So, there are no alternatives to stop overthinking.

Lion Strategy:

A lion doesn’t always hunt for food, but when he hunts, he gives his best to get his hunt. There are times when we have our best attention and concentration.

 You have to study as best as you can this time. It will take your study to another level. You don’t have to study for 8-10 hours a day, but you have to study at this time. It may be in the very morning, morning, evening, afternoon, or late night. You just have to use this time. In these study periods, you have to stay away from all your distractions. By that, you can study more and best.

Time Management:

Students often say they don’t get enough time to study, or they don’t have a proper study routine. Well, I made many study routines, but none of them worked for me. The thing you have to do is to make a daily goal. Before going to sleep, make daily goals that you will study those subjects, and those chapters.

 After making goals and having a sense that you have to complete these goals before going to bed that day, no matter what. But many say we write our goals but fail to complete them due to short time. The simple answer to that question is to set your mentality to complete the goals.

 The main problem is that students focus on time, not on the goals. If you aim to finish your goals, it will certainly be finished by the end of the day.

Choose Quality over Quantity:

Don’t study everything. For example, let’s say you have 10 chapters, you don’t have to study all chapters. Read at least 8 chapters properly so that you write very well in these chapters in the exam. 

As a topper, I never studied the whole book. I just studied a certain number of chapters and avoided the hard chapters. And I could take proper preparation and get a very good result in the exam. So always read a certain amount of chapters. It will help you to study properly and write well in the exam. Therefore, You will have enough time to revise these chapters.

Always have an aim:

You need to know why you are studying. What is the purpose of your studying? You have to be different from the other students.

 You have to understand the reasons that you are struggling for good results. If you manage to find your reason, you will have the concentration to study. 

You don’t need endless hours spent studying. Smart students get a very  good grades not because they are talented its because they have a different method of studying. No topper will reveal his secret of studying.  Just follow some techniques, and you’ll be well on your way to the top of the class.
