"What is the importance of study strategies?" This is by far the most frequent question that I get from high school and college students. As a study strategiest, I’ve come to realize that everyone in academia, whether writing a dissertation, completing an article, or doing research, struggles with effective study strategies. Why is this so prevalent in such a well-educated, intelligent population?

Your belief system is what may be standing in the way of your study strategies. Most academics cling to the belief that they must set aside large chunks of time, do a lot of preparation, and be in the proper frame of mind to be able to write. What this means is that when you finally sit down to write, it's going to be an unpleasant marathon. You have placed such importance on this writing session that you feel anxiety about it living up to your expectations. And you know it's going to be difficult. After all, there are thorny issues you haven't addressed, articles you haven't read or reread, and a lack of coherence to your thinking. You need to solve those problems. And if you don't do it now you'll be quite disappointed in yourself. How unpleasant! And how counterproductive!

Please follow the study strategies action plan...Select a time each day, preferably not the evening unless you're a night owl, and write for 30 minutes, without email, reading or other distractions. Don't listen to the voices in your head saying you "should be getting more done," or "you should be writing more than this." I'll bet at the end of the week you'll be pleasantly surprised at your output, and pleased with the increasing ease with which you can sit down to write. You’ll start to see progress on your dissertation or article and maybe come to believe that you will finish one day.
Don't forget, if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got. Start setting yourself up for success starting right now!
