Everyday planningThe key to a successful life is effective planning, and executing the plan faithfully.

Step 1: Assign a space where you will study – NOT on your bed. ( I know it’s more comfortable, but that is the problem!) Usually a desk and a chair.

Step 2: Clean the space around you – your study space should be clutter-free and organised.

Step 3: Have a proper plan or schedule for your studies.
