Developing NEW Academic Habits
New academic habits can improve your attitude and approach to projects and homework. When you can engage with the content as part of a structured routine, you’re less likely to put it off and give yourself a headache worrying about it. Our habits become automatic behaviors, so why not shape our habits to promote academic success?
So how exactly does one develop a new academic habit? Just follow these five simple but powerful steps:
The 5 Steps
- Identify a GOAL, something you want to develop as a daily habit.
- Pick a DAILY ACTION which will help you accomplish the new habit.
- Plan WHEN & WHERE you will do the action.
- Perform the action EVERY DAY when you encounter that time and place.
- Repeat your daily action routine every day for NINE WEEKS.
NINE WEEKS?! Yes, plan on nine weeks of deliberately performing the new action every day. Forming new habits requires time and discipline. Research suggests that it takes an average of sixty-six days for a new habit to become automatic. The good news is that with every additional day of repetition, the routine will become easier as new neural pathways in your brain are formed and reinforced.
