Ask for help

Image
  These simple tips will increase how receptive people are to your requests for help. They mainly apply to asking for help from people you know, but some apply to customer-service situations as well.  1. Demonstrate that you've tried to help yourself.  People are more inclined to want to help those who've attempted to help themselves first. When asking for help, briefly explain what you've tried independently. That way the person from whom you're requesting help knows you've tried to figure out your problem for yourself before requesting help. ("I tried Googling…"; "I tried restarting my device...") Get to the point fast. Imagine you're giving a bullet point list and be specific. 2. Demonstrate that you've acted on the person's advice previously.  It's no fun when you put effort into helping someone and that individual doesn't follow through. People want to help those who they're sure will act on the help or a...

Take breaks

Image
 If you schedule your day in advance, chart out some time to take breaks from your work, and plan your days off far in advance. Or set an alarm to remind you that it's time to take a break. There's no established interval for this; some studies suggest that the seemingly random pattern of  52 minutes working followed by 17 minutes breaking  is especially effective, but each individual will have a different preference. The key here isn't to follow a specific type of plan but to have a plan in general, so you're more likely to follow it. Break even if you feel like you don't need it If you're on a hot streak and you're blazing through work, you'll have the urge to keep going no matter what. On the other hand, if you know you still have a lot of work to do and you're tired, you might motivate yourself to keep going despite an increasingly sloppy performance. The line here is blurry, so as a general rule, you're better off taking a br...

Revise and review

Image
Review And  Revise  Review and Revise are two words that are often confused when it comes to their meanings or concepts. Strictly speaking there is some difference between them. A review is a short or a brief account of what has happened in a recently concluded event or in short it is looking again into the performance of an action. On the other hand the word ‘revise’ is to make certain changes in something related to its usability to people or customers. This is the main difference between the two terms, review and revise. It is interesting to note that the two words ‘review’ and ‘revise’ are generally used as verbs. Observe the two sentences: 1. He reviewed the book for the magazine. 2. She reviewed the product of the company. In both the sentences you can see that the word ‘review’ is used as a verb. In the first sentence a person conducted a review of a book. It is called book review. In the second sentence you can find that ‘she conducted a review of a ...

Plan your time

Image
Five steps to successful planning 1. Looking ahead  An important first step is to establish: what you need to do (e.g. coursework/taught sessions/private study); when things need to be done by (e.g. deadlines for assessed work); how long they are likely to take (e.g. time spent in taught sessions/time required to write a lab. report). Read through your course handbooks and other information related to your modules to establish the demands that will be placed upon your time. Think of the broad range of study activities and develop a picture of how they relate to each other. This forward picture will be an invaluable tool in helping you organise your time.  2. Making plans Once you have established your commitments, it might be useful to enter these on a plan or calendar. Plan each semester at a time. There are several advantages to using a wall chart for this activity. You can see the whole semester ahead of you. You can see where deadlines fall in r...
