How to Set Up a Weekly Schedule
As you devise a weekly schedule like the one on 
this page
, these
suggestions should help:
Write your class schedule and other permanent activities in ink. Then
fill out the rest of the schedule in pencil, since you may have to make
changes as the term progresses.
Insert your mealtimes on the chart. Be sure to allow enough time for a
leisurely meal and for travel between the place where you’re eating and

---

your study space or classroom. And remember what your mother
probably always told you: Eating regular meals, including a substantial
breakfast, is essential for keeping energy levels high for academic work.

Brain work requires adequate calories and nutrients. If you aren’t on a
proper diet, you’ll probably find you lack the ability to work hard and
concentrate for sufficient periods of time to get the most out of your
studies.
Now, let me provide you with a few more preliminary tips and
guidelines that top students have found useful as they plan their study
schedules:
The forty-minute formula.
In drawing up your own term, weekly and
daily schedules, it’s important to think in terms of forty-minute study
blocks. Longer study periods lead to restlessness, cramped bodies and
wandering minds. Most students learn and remember at their highest

level of efficiency during the first ten and final ten minutes of these
forty-minute periods.
As we’ll see later, these two ten-minute segments correspond nicely
with two important phases of “supersonic” reading: the preview process,
which involves getting a grasp on the main ideas and overall flow of the
reading material; and the postview phase, which includes final review,
note-taking and note-organizing—a process that enables the student to
recall the material better at a later time.
