INTRODUCING THE 45/15 STUDY TECHNIQUE.




Apply the 45/15 rule. People can
focus on something for a solid 45
minute block before their brains
start getting pooped and antsy,
and their mental performance
starts to diminish. To keep your
brain running on all six cylinders,
implement the 45/15 rule, or
Pomodoro Technique. Under the
45/15 rule, you work nonstop for
45 minutes, and all your focus is
on the task at hand for that block
of time. When the 45 minutes is
up, take a break for 15. Surf the
web or get up and go for a quick
stroll outside. As soon as the 15
minutes are over, get back to
work. Just knowing that you
always have a set break coming
up can keep you on task.

Plan weekly. Once you have your
master weekly schedule set up,
every week set aside time for
planning out the week’s
variables–those activities that
change from week to week. Write
down in your schedule when you
have to work or the times for
any extracurricular meetings.
Remember, try to plan around
your Big Rocks if possible.



Reverse engineer big projects
and final exam prep. Throughout
the semester, you’ll probably have
big projects like term papers to
turn in. One thing that helped me
complete these tasks on time and
with little stress was reverse
engineering the task. As soon as I
knew the due date for a paper, I
marked it in my calendar.
Working backwards from that
due date, I established mini-
deadlines for myself. For example,
a week before the actual due
date, I might have a deadline to
complete the rough draft. Two
weeks before the actual due date
the mini-deadline might be to
write half of the paper. Three
weeks before the actual due date,
the mini-deadline might be to
have the research complete. And
so on.


I did this sort of reverse
engineering for my law school
finals as well. About mid-way
through the semester, I sat down
and planned out my finals prep
for the subsequent six weeks,
working backwards from the
final exam and creating tasks for
myself to complete as I got closer
and closer to finals.
This takes some discipline, but
this approach is much less
stressful than waiting until the
last minute to complete a project
or study for a final.

Time & Energy Management
In high school, your schedule is
pretty well set for you, and your
parents are always around,
looking over your shoulder.
Then you get to college and each
day is an ocean of time that is all
yours to decide what to do with.

This is both a
wonderful, glorious freedom and
a great challenge. But mastering
that challenge by learning how to
successfully manage your time
will reap you great benefits not
only in school, but for the rest of
your life.
Following the advice below, it’s
possible to excel in school,
while working part-time, and
while still having a social life.


Create a master weekly study
schedule before every semester.
In his book, First Things First,
Stephen Covey introduces the
idea of “Big Rock” planning. The
gist of it is that you should set
aside time for your most
important things first (your Big
Rocks) and then plan everything
else in your life around them.



When you’re young and in school,
your biggest Big Rock is your
education. You should (ideally)
plan everything else around your
schooling. To ensure that you
actually make school a priority,
block off the time during the
week that you’ll devote to class
and studying before the semester
starts.contd below...

in the name of God and Aristotle the great teacher i declare this session open officially.

Also the season of religious show is
here.the thief failure who ran away and
the incompetent are all in the church and
mosques kneeling before pastors and
alfas and awearing shrines.we see them
on our screens and on the social media
say jesus has endorsed them.that
muhammad has finally support their
campiagn.they say we we should not
vote the competent men and women
because they are christians or
muslims.this phenomena unfortunately is
another appauling idealogy that has
characterize our polity in recent
years.now we look for christian/muslim
ticket,muslim/ticket and not competent/
competent ,in enugu recently it was
protest against a prospective catholic/
catholic ticket by the anglican diocese.
The questions to ask this religious/
political warlords is if performance in
governance has to do with your religious
affiliation and if the effect of good or bad
governance differentiate between
muslims or christians.we have had
several muslim presidents in the past.has
their large numbers provided stable
elecricity in the houses of the
muslims.have they constructed to a
considerable amount the roads leading
to the houses of muslims.how good have
they being in delivering the dividends of
democracy to the muslims and the
populace in entirety.the answer is so
obvious.the current president is a
christian.has his beign a christian secure
the lives of nigerians even christians in
the north,has his beign carrying the
burden like jesus according to doyin
okupe stop the massive corruption in his
administration or reduce the number of
men and women acquiring private jet on
tax payers money.the same also goes for
past muslim leaders of our past.has the
christianity of theodore orji made aba
and abia state a pride of reference or did
the muslimity permit me to use that word
stopped babangida from annuling the
best and most credible election ever
conducted in nigeria.
My people as we celebrate and look
forward to this general election of
2015,lets be on our toes.political docility
should be gone from our dictionary.we
should watch out for the thief,failure
and incompetent ones.they would tell us
to vote for them because they are
yoruba igbo or hausa or naija delta or
other tribe.they will tell us to vote for
them because they are christian or
muslims or any other religion.they will
tell us to vote for them because they are
with us on the street and eat
corn,banana,akara,fried
fish,groundnut.they may even tell us to
vote for them because they are
black,yellow,pot belly,slim or whatever
irrelevant reason.that is the thief,failure
and incompetent.it is in their blood.but
we would do well to clear our eyes and
use our votes to land a master punch on
their faces so they can end up falling on
the grounds of defeat and eat our sand
they litter with their refue of failure and
incompetence

In the last issue i promised to highlitht
the tricks,and tools of manipulation of
the average nigerian politician especially
those widely used by mediocre ones who
have nothing to offer than noise
making,perpetual failure and ineptitude
in leadership.
I talked of the two categories who are
back to seek our mandate in this season
of election and celebration of
democracy.like the performer and
capable politician,the thief,lazy and failure
who ran away after getting our vote the
first time and who have nothing to offer
is also back from abuja,the varous state
houses and legislative chambers to the
street with us.they are now telling us
they are our ‘sons’.that they are our
‘daughters’.they are now eating
corn,banana,groundnut like the common
man on the street.they now wear shirt
and trousers like us.they blouse and
wrapper like ourslves.they are on the
radio and t.v reminding us they are
‘igbo’.they attack the performer and
capable hands on the pages of
newspaper and tell them ”my people will
vote for me because i am husa”.they now
sponsor internet warriors with our
stolen common wealth and instruct them
to cause ethnic division among people on
the social media on ethnic grounds for
selfish political gains.in retrospect in our
politity in recent years ethnic divison has
beign a tool in the hands of politicians to
cause hate and bitterness among people
for their own selfish and political gain.it
is every where.some extraction of the
igbo tribe would swore never to vote for
a candidate not because he or she is
competent but because he or she is from
another tribe or because he/she is
contesting under the platform of a party
that they believe have a larger number of
people from other ethnic group than
theirs as members.it is everywhere.some
yoruba would swore never to vote for an
‘igbo’ or ‘hausa’ likewise hausa would
swore never to vote for an igbo man
regardless wether he or she is
competent.it is everywher. but this idea of
voting on ethnic line must stop no doubt
historical and age long feud or rivalry
may exist between our ethnic groups,the
continuation of this dangerous and
failure template in choice of leadership
phenomenon of hate in this generation
especially among our youths,ethnic
warlors and opinion leaders portends a
great deal of danger to success not only
in our political life but also in our
personal life.it offers a an avenue of
manipulation to the failure who got our
mandates and ran away the first time to
tickle our ethnic fancy again and deceive
us for the second time or first time as the
case maybe to continue or start dishing
out ineptitude to us as dividens of
democracy and leadership.
What has begn a yoruba igbo ,hausa
niger delta itsekiri uhrobo efik or other
respectable tribes got to do with
performance.Governor sullivan chime of
enugu state was able to perform to a
considerable level not as a result of the
fact that he is igbo but because of that
nuance of leadership and ability in
him.governor theodore orji of aba is also
is igbo and one of the champion of
ethnic politics in recent years.but he
failed woefully.babatunde fashola of
lagos is a performer not because he is
yoruba but becuase he possessed what it
takes in leadership.we have had and still
several yoruba leaders who are failures
and disgrace to their people who gave
them their electoral
mandate.administrative ability is not a
question of where your from but a
question of what you have in you as
leadership skill and past records in your
field of speciality apart from politics.so as
ew celebrate and get ready as director
generals of the political destiny of our
leaders in the next four years,we should
dump the idea of choosing our
representatives in leadership position
based on the fact that they are from our
ethnic group or other ones we
love.leadership is about competence.we
should laugh at the thief and failure and
incompetent ones who may even go as
far as prostrating in front of our ethnic
leaders to gain sympathy and give him or
her the bitter pill of disappointment on
the day of election.
Also the season of religious show is
here.the thief failure who ran away and
the incompetent are all in the church and
mosques kneeling before pastors and
alfas and awearing shrines.we see them
on our screens and on the social media
say jesus has endorsed them.that

Celebration time.it is the season of merry
making.brothers and sisters,fathers and
mothers let’s jubilate.as my people in the
yorba would say e ja ka shaye,ka tun jaye.
In negation to marxist postulation of
class specification in virtually most issues
of life,the celebration should be for all of
our people.starting from the performing
big men and women in abuja who fly
with private jet like birds of the sky,to the
babas and mamas in our state houses
who don agbada, suits, babriga with
matching cap to the the rich men on our
estates:men and women who own
houses in victoria island,lekki,the big
houses in kano,abuja,enugu,porthacourt
and in every other states of the
country.then to the king of all; the
ordinary man on the street.let the
celebration begin to roll.it is the season
of jubilation.lets pop champaigne.lets pop
something.we can also take it local.eje ka
mu nkan.e je ka shaye.
This is the season of elections.posters are
here and there on our streets.the adverts
are on our screens and radio.politicians
are again telling us they can buid bridge
in the cloud.they re no telling us they can
turn the sand of our land to pure
gold.indeed this is the dispensation in
which political gladiators and lightweight
try to influence our choice of leadership
with their campaigns of capability to
govern and give us the dividends of
leadership.in this economic downturn
and security challenge in our
country,some have looked forward to
this time for long to see what the
politician who abandon his or her
constituency as soon as he or she got
their mandate would tell them about his
ability and prospective chances.some
have waited to see the outstanding
achievement of their ‘son’ as we call them
in this part of the country rolled out in
form of documentries on tv,radio and on
campaign grounds and other
medium.fortunately both are back to us
again.for us voters and performers in
government and people with great
pedigree and administrative sagacity to
go into governance,it is the season of
jubilation and blissful reunion.
As we celebrate and listen to what plans
they have for us, we should not also
forget that the ones who ran away after
getting our mandate the first time like
thieves after getting a piece of clothe off
the wire are back to us.they are on
television telling us they would be
roads.that they would represent us well
on the assembly.they are again swearing
to god that that they would give us
everything we demand.they ahve
money.their jingles are
everywhere.t.v,radio,newspaper,
billboards,social media and every where
including our walls.nowadays,they dress
like us.the agbada,suit and babariga are
gone.now they are on the street in shirt
and touser even nicker and buying things
we buy on the
street.plantain.groundnut.orange.maize.
yam.sugar.fish.akara.bread and other
things.
Likewise the other men who believe have
performed so well and those we belive
are good to make it as new office
seekers.they are now every where.they
are attacking one another from all
angles.religion,ethnicity,deleberate
chauvunism all in a bid to upstage one
another in their bid to get the golden
fleece of the next four years as our leader
at various levels.
In this season of the advent of election; a
tool of democracy to knock out the boxer
af any failed leader or give a leverage of
continuity to those politician who have
churn out sterling performances in
governance,we should not however be
away or offer urselves to be manipulated
by the antics of politicians who throw up
baseless,cunny and tricky premises to get
our support irrespective of their failure
or inability to govern.
It is these antics of politicians i would
examine in the next issue of this same
topic.by the grace of the maker,the giver
of knowledge,i would highlight and
break these tricks down and give citation
where necessary.
In the meantime stick with this blog and
help spread the gospel wherever you
go.bookmark the page.among your
friends,your foes,tell them about http://
tunerwords.
it is the blue fountain where words flows
like rains though the eye of the sky.till
next issue.peace out.

He will soon create a new moniker on nairaland specially for this assignment.

please kindly remind me what ffk did to ojukwus wife?

video depicting the Katsina Governor,
Ibrahim Shema, prodding his party
members to physically assault and possibly
“kill” opposition politicians in the state,
has gone viral on the internet.
The amateur video was first posted on the
internet on November 12.
It shows the governor, dressed in white
agbada and brown sandals, standing on a
red carpet, and addressing a crowd in
what seemed like a political rally. He spoke
in Hausa.
Mr. Shema likened opposition politicians to
“cockroaches” before asking the crowd
what to do if they found the nocturnal
insect in their apartments.
The crowd chorused “Kill them!”
“Crush them!” the governor responded,
agreeing with the crowd.
Similar calls have triggered violence in
other countries including the East African
country, Rwanda, where the majority
Hutus’ description of the minority Tutsis as
“cockroaches”, helped fired a 100-day
murderous campaign that saw over
800,000 Tutsis killed.
Mr. Shema is a second term governor and
a member of the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP

Nothing as usual

We always go to the extremes to please this Israel...just because we claim imaginary religious ties with them...But do they love and respect us like we love them?
Would they stand by us when we need them?

I hate it when someone takes judgment base on loyalty.

i trust my muslim brothers this will be the topic of the sermon tonight,,,smh gej creating enemies for himself since 20bc.support for palestine would have suppress the hate the muslims have for him presently.but trust me he blew it away..

donphilopus:
Those guys are really doing some silly jobs. From Twitter, they've relocated to Facebook. They just created a Facebook Page "Sai Buhari" to ridicule and tarnish the image of Buhari. They're doing everything humanly possible to discredit the man, but they shall surely fail.

no be small thing oh

Doyin Okupe talks like a commoner on twitter. It is a shameful display. I won't be surprised if Reno and Doyin orchestrated that.

Latest PDP latest propaganda alert..



''After the propangada of wendel smil was bursted,internet warlord of the pdp reno omokri is has opened another handled with the user name @imamsodiq.the aim of this handle operated by the trio of omokri,okupe and abati is to further divide nigerian voters along ethnic line by tweeting post portraying general muhammad buhari as an islamic fundamentalist and northern fanatic.this propaganda of the pdp has failed in recent times as many are now aware that it is the pdp propaganda machine that has always spred unsubstantiated and false news to portray him as beign fundamentalist.but the pdp machinery are not relenting.


Hence the new innovation of @imamsodiq on twitter.according to sources in the camp of the internet team of omokri;it was okupe who suggested the idea.then omokri opened the handle with a fake picture of a a muslim man they saw on facebook..

In recent times @imamsodiq(omokri,okupe&abati) have been on their religious znd ethnic propaganda to poryray the general as a fundamentalist and as one who should only get northern support.we urge the general public to discard their tweets and regard it as one of the shameful agenda of the men of a government that has failed the country in its entirety''.

To start with, I don't quite fancy my moniker existing on thesame sentence with some people's. We reason at very different frequencies.so next time do well to make appropriate differentiations. Thanks.

Now back to the matter; I've got that documentary in my lappy, awesome stuff, very enlightening I must say. Think it is 1:45mins.

MKO was in very good spirits even when he was led away by the police, very unruffled. Really felt for him. Never knew the fate that awaited him. Unfortunate he wound up the way he did.

And how could I conclude without mentioning what the ABC news reporter said about the person Buhari. So was he then, so I believe he is now. God bless our General.

i have dealt with that moniker omolangidi,,,,,that moment was really for men,,,just wondering what was going through mko's mind,,,

Mogidi:


Buhari with the same Babangida, I bet you didn't know Buhari visited IBB before GEJ did?

a visit to know which kid of jail will fit the evil genius,,,you can see tinubu looking in one directio,,,,that is southwest here in kirikir where where paymaster ibb and his son gej will be jailed for two hundred years

Mogidi:
This interview reveals how much we have advanced as a nation. The Northern oligarchy headed by Babangida and Buhari are being weakened day by day. If only Abiola was alive to see the progress we've achieved, no more born to rule.

NO SURRENDER TO HAUSA/FULANI hegemony.


SAI NO to Bukohari.

and the gej whose yansh you lick to survive was with ibb yesterday,,,smh for tanoid and cerebral internet wereism...i would have commanded you with my annointing to go and jump into a moving train..but in spirit of the season i say go and MAD no more..and join the winning team..

Sai buhari
