How to Win at College By: Cal Newport

#2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Create a Sunday ritual. As Newport says "Sunday sets the tone for the week that follows". It is always tempting to relax on Sunday, but maybe it would be smart to get prepared for the following new week. This "weekend focus" as Newport states it, is very vital for being ready for studies. Simply form a ritual, like reading or walking with friends. "If you take control of your Sunday, you take control of your week".-Cal Newport.

"Don't do all your reading" To paraphrase what Newport is saying about this tip; college professors will always give large amounts of reading material. But it is not humanly possible to finish all the reading required before the due date. Just skim through the reading and remember the most important information. This will help you save time and have extra on the things you really want to do.
