IDOL THAT MOTIVATES ME
 For my idol, i choose local successful bussinesswoman, Dato Seri Vida. I idol her because of her braveness and hardworking spirit. Eventhough she once loss two beloved children when she was working as a teacher few years ago, but yet she still managed to handle her sadness and be very successful at her medium age like now. She failed in her marriage two times, but still can stands on her own feet to chase her dreams by herself. She is a very indipendent woman which is she do everything by herself not depending to somebody else, she can go around making money by herself. Plus, i love the way she changed her life by keep going with her passion. She stopped teaching and proceed her bussiness from bottom untill she achieved her goals. Even though she gets a lot of condemnations from many citizens, she never stops doing what she loved to do. I wish to be hardworking and high spirited like her someday. _________________________________________________________________________________ FIXED COMMITMENT CALENDAR
Being a student is not an easy thing since we have to manage everything by ourself, no more spoon feeding from any teachers. So we always need to plan a good time management to make sure we can do our works completely, without missed anything.
To have a good time management, we can create a fixed commitment calendar and follow the calendar. Example of my fixed commitment calendar is like this ;
THIS IS MY FIXED COMMITMENT CALENDAR
 The calendar should be planned very well so our schedule not crashed or make us rushing. By using this calendar, we also can arrange our free time to go hang out or joining any activities that we like to do at the same time we are not ignoring our studies and assignments. _________________________________________________________________________________ LEARNING STYLE INVENTORY
When get into university life, we have to re-indetify our learning style by doing learning style inventory so we can get to know our strength because in university we have to be very indipendent if we dont want to get left behind. Learning style inventories are designed long time ago to help respondents determine their strength in what learning style.
In this inventories, respondents will have to answer some random question with 'yes' or 'no' in a form. Respondents need to answer the questions based on their preferences. Learning style inventories are based on the idea that people have different strengths and preferences when it comes to learning.
There are 3 preferred learning style which is auditory, visual & kinesthetic.
By answering all the questions, students will get to know their suitable learning style. I also have done this inventories in my class and i got visual learning style as my highest marks. So i basically knew that i am a visual learner. I am more to study from what i am seeing.
Here it is my inventories;
 _________________________________________________________________________________ CONCENTRATION STRATEGIES 6.1Answer the following questions with yes or no.
==TOTAL POINTS : 8/10==
In learning, you need to fully concentrate in class so that you will not missed any information given by the lecturer. If you give high concentration when you are in class, you will get all the important points like how to do your assignments, the assignment's dateline, exams etc. There are some reasons that caused student to have trouble in focusing on their studies, which is..
π Physical factors(always tired, dehydration etc) π External distractions (phone, members, tv, family etc) π Internal distractions (thoughts, worries etc) π Difficult or confusing task π Low self motivations π Low urgency Because of that, we have to plan a concentration strategies before we starts to study. There are few concentration strategies we can practise for in study. The strategies is ;  β½ Refresh our body & brain - starts working when you naturally have more energy. If you usually feel tired at the evening, you can try to start doing your work at the afternoon like after finished your class, take a nap for seconds then continue doing your task. β½ Set aside external distractions - set your electronic devices into silent mode or turn off the internet access that will distract you from doing your task. If your distractions is people surround you, you can go to somewhere that unfamiliar with you like to a quiet place such as library, coffee shop etc. β½ Minimize internal distractions - take a deep breath and remove all your negative thoughts that playing in your mind before you start doing your task. Put all your problems aside first, and think about it after you finished your task. β½ Make it easy to get started - shrink the task down to something simple that can build your confident to complete your task completely. For example, start to focus on your work for just 5 minutes or to write one sentences & then give yourself a break. Then continue again. β½ Increase self motivation - think about the benefits you get if you finished your task on time. Make a reward for yourself after you are done with your work such as go hang out to somewhere & do some fun activities that can release your tension. β½ Increase time pressure - reduce the total amount that you have to finish your task. As example, do your task before you start to watch any tv shows at certain time or try to do at least half from your task before youre going out. Make our own dateline to finish the task given, so that we will not suspend our task untill the real dateline. _________________________________________________________________________________ CONCENTRATION CHART 6.4

READING TEXTThere are many benefits from reading, examples; β€ know about current issues β€ know facts β€ learn positive attribute β€ get additional knowledge in studies β€ strengthens memory β€ helps to understand something well β€ improves our vocabulary In learning, after read a textbook or any knowledge sources, do some summary based on what we understand from our reading. I mean, write up the points that we get from the book into a short term so we can re-read the text easily and understand the points. It is an effective way to identify how far we understand what we've read & making it easier for us to make revisions. _________________________________________________________________________________ MEMORIES STRATEGIES
==TOTAL POINTS 7/10==  You'll be relieved to know that theres nothing wrong with you if you having all those problems because it is happening to everyone. There are some strategies that can helps you strengthens your memory, which is.. β§ Chunk - its is easier to remember something when you break it up into a small chunk. Its is like you separating a word into syllable, for example : 123456 , when you separate it into a small chunk, it will be : 123 - 456 . β§ Understanding - before you try to remember some information, you have to understand the information first. β§ Visualization - try to imagine the things that you want to remember in your head. As example, if you are learning about water cycle, try to create a cloud image in your head and imagine how the water cycle would function. β§ Story telling - after you read any information, try to summarized it into a short story and arrange them nicely. Then, tell the information that you got to anybody as a story. You will remember the information easily as it will always play in your head. β§ Rehearsing - if you want to remember the information, you have to always practise on it or else it will fade. Keep repeating the things untill you get enough with it. As a student, having a good memories is a good thing to pass our exam with flying colours. ________________________________________________________________________ NOTE TAKING STRATEGIES

In practice, organizational strategy begins with the big picture you want to achieve and then breaks that down into various sets of activities. All of these will have a contribution to make, so they are all part of the organizational strategy.
Once you have determined your strategy and what must be done to make your goals a reality, you will need to follow up. Each task must synch with the plan β and if it canβt, the plan itself may need revision.
