IB Habits
👋 If you don’t know how to get started, start with these ten essential habits
#1
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
It’s better to think ahead and plan, than to look back and regret.
#2
Know what you’re getting into.
If you choose Art HL, know how many pictures you have to paint and how they’re graded.
#3
Rig the game so you can win.
If you want to win, make it as easy as possible for you to win.
LEARN WITH THE SYLLABUS // CHECK HOW YOU’RE GRADED // DOES THIS CATER TO YOUR SKILLS
#4
Art of planning your activities so you can achieve your goals.
Know your important dates and plan accordingly, for example
Mock Exams
Final exams
Internal assessments
University Application Deadlines
#5
What gets measured gets managed.
Track what you are doing, test yourself, see if its working.
If it’s not working, change your approach.
#6
The goal is progress and consistency, not perfection
Think of brushing your teeth
#7
Worrying is like a rocking chair
It gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere
#8
The discipline to show up and deliver every day is less painful than the regret of knowing you didn’t give it your all.
#9
Your workspace is not a place for storing things.
It is a place for accomplishing things.
Also, your bed is not a workplace
#10
Work with the time that you have, rather than against it
Pick a task
Set a 25 minute timer
Work on the task until the time is up
Take a 5 minute break
Every 4 Pomodoros take a longer 15-30 minute break
