Benefits of a Timed Study Approach

The second benefit of using a structured timetable is that it enhances your ability to concentrate.

Concentrating for extended periods can be challenging. If you set an expectation of focusing for three hours straight, you are likely to find it overwhelming, leading to wasted time and feelings of guilt. In contrast, committing to only 30 minutes of focused study is much more manageable and achievable.

During each 30-minute session, it is crucial to dedicate your full attention to revision. Avoid distractions such as:

• Going to the washroom
• Eating snacks
• Responding to phone calls

If any thoughts or tasks come to mind, jot them down to address later. Only attend to them if there is an emergency, like a fire.

Key Focus Strategies

Most importantly, do not check the time during your study sessions. Watching the clock can disrupt your concentration and break your flow of thought. Instead of glancing at your watch, consider using an alarm to signal the end of each study period.

After every 30-minute session, allow yourself a 5-minute break to recharge:

During these 5-minute breaks, you can engage in activities that are not permitted during the 30-minute study slots, such as replying to phone calls. Once the break ends, refocus your attention for the next study session.

By consistently implementing this strategy of dedicated 30-minute study slots, you can accumulate 3 hours of concentrated study after completing 6 sessions. Concentrating for 30 minutes at a time is far more manageable than attempting to focus for an entire three-hour block.

Once you have got used to the timetable system, you can upgrade it by creating 30-minute time slots.

The first 3-hour time block should be divided into six 30-minute time slots:

The first benefit of this method is that the time slots can be used for different aspects of the same subject:

In preparation for the HKCEE, HKAL, or other public examinations, it is advisable to dedicate 5 to 7 hours each day to your studies. Assuming you are focusing on 8 subjects:

• Chinese
• English
• General Mathematics (G.Maths)
• Additional Mathematics (A.Maths)
• Physics
• Chemistry
• Biology
• Accounting

You may organize your timetable as follows:

Timetable Design Details

• Subject Categories:
  • The first row is designated for non-language subjects.
  • The second row is reserved for language subjects.
  • The third row comprises other non-language subjects.

Principles of the Timetable Design

1. Diverse Subject Nature:
   Each day, the first and second non-language subjects should differ in nature. For instance, the first row should consist of mathematical subjects (G.Maths, A.Maths, Physics), while the third row should contain non-mathematical subjects (Chemistry, Biology, Accounting). This approach ensures that you engage different areas of the brain, preventing fatigue from studying similar subjects consecutively.

2. Cognitive Buffer:
   The language subject placed in the middle serves as a buffer, providing your brain with a necessary respite.

3. Automated Structure:
   The timetable is designed to be automatic, eliminating the need for daily adjustments. The sequence for each row is cyclical:

   • Mathematical Subjects: G.Maths → A.Maths → Physics → G.Maths → A.Maths → …
   • Language Subjects: Chinese → English → Chinese → English → Chinese → …
   • Non-Mathematical Subjects: Chemistry → Biology → Accounting → Chemistry → Biology → Accounting …
     .
4. Study Rhythm:
   Studying each subject should resemble a marathon; there will be times of intensity and times of ease, but it is crucial to maintain momentum. Halting your studies can make it challenging to resume. This timetable ensures that no subject is neglected for too long.

Feel free to personalize your timetable according to your needs. For instance, if finding 7 hours in a day proves difficult, you can adjust the structure from (3 hours + 1 hour + 3 hours) to (2 hours + 1 hour + 2 hours).
