How and why to make a plan

This video explains why it is helpful to make a long term study plan, and gives you a step-by-step approach on how to make such a plan.

We all have a little bit of an animal instinct in us. If something is not needed right now, we tend to procrastinate.

When you have a party and end up sacrificing study-time, there are usually good reasons to do so: socializing and time for yourself is important. However, it becomes a problem when study-time always comes second. This video helps you to prioritize the things that you need to do by making a long term plan. This way you can do the hard work first and then reward yourself with the things you enjoy or that you find relaxing!
