Why Do Some People Have Good Study Habits and Others Don't?

FRESHMAN YEAR 1967 MY ROOMMATE AND I would go find an empty classroom in which to study. Neither of us wanted to disturb the other so we got lots done. DURING MY SOPHOMORE YEAR, I got in the habit of “study dates” with my girlfriend in the library. There the many coeds in mini-skirts were a bit of a distraction. In subsequent years, I got permission to go into the stacks of the library. It was quiet and fewer coeds distracted me there. However, I found many books to distract me such as the bound issues of Esquire magazine which gave me my fashion sense and collections of “The New Yorker” cartoons. Oh yes, many of my fellow students had attended much better high schools than I had, especially private prep schools. However, back then, those schools were male-only, so the college coeds distracted my prep-school friends even more than the coeds distracted me. Students who can find a place to isolate themselves from distractions probably study better than average students. If you really want to study extremely well, live like a monk.

Because People Are Different

Some people are good at organizing, and others aren’t. Some people don’t procrastinate, and others procrastinate all the time.

WHY SOME PEOPLE HAVE GOOD STUDY HABITS AND OTHERS DON'T
The diversity in individuals' study habits is multifaceted, largely driven by their inherent nature, which can be influenced by their educational environment and mindset.

Almost Entirely Comes Down to Mindset

Mostly, this almost entirely comes down to mindset. On top of that is the experience of the student, but ultimately the combination of these two can be very beneficial for any student. For study tips necessary to become a good student, please check my blog if needed:

Challenges of Studying

It was so extremely difficult for me to study because I was in fear for my life every day from my raging alcoholic step-father who every day would threaten me and my mother saying such things as “I'll split you down the middle.” WHEN YOU LIVE IN FEAR OR HIGHTENED ANXIETY, studying for anything seems like a waste of time. My grades in high school suffered severely as a result.

Common Reasons for Good and Bad Study Habits

There are TYPICAL REASONS for why students have good or poor study habits. Some may be by nature, gifted by the gods, while others may be influenced by their educational environment. There are also those driven by a need and mindset to change their current status, seeking revenge against society, or simply to impress someone.
