Consistency in Studies

I am done.
No more studies.
I am tired now.
I can not do it more.

Do you experience such things during your Preparation for any type of Competitive Examination?

You are definitely facing the same problem during your preparation of JKAS or IAS Exam (or any other exam) because these exams follow a lengthy process having three stages and a person needs continuous efforts for a long time to qualify all the stages of the exam.

For these Competitive examinations, you have to study a lot till you get qualified.

Human body and mind do not have much capacity for long time to stay in a similar situation. Human mind and body both needs rest. But what if we rest for long time? We need rest but in the form of short breaks and simultaneously we should keep our self motivated all the time for qualification of any competitive examination.

Here we are sharing some of the tips that relax our body and mind and at the same time keep us motivated also for the long term study.

1. Regular Breaks.

Human being cannot stay in a single situation for a long time. For example one can not eat same meal for consecutive number of times or we can say one cannot sit or remain in standing position for long time as it causes Physical stress. Similarly Human mind also gets stressed when we continuously use it for a particular task like studies. So to keep our body and mind relaxed during the study time, we need to take small breaks.

For example.
After each hour study take 10 minutes break.
After 2 hours of study take 20 min break or
After 3 hours of continuous study take 30 minutes break. It will relax and recharge your body and mind.

2. Good Friend Circle.

Solo personality invites boredom. Good friendship circle is also required in order to get rid of Boredom. If you are an JKAS or IAS aspirant than it is very important that you must have at least a friend who is also preparation for the same examination. It will not only help you in cope up with the problems of guidance but also the keep you motivated from his or her preparation level and strategies. Whenever you people will meet, you will definitely discuss about the same subject and you will analyse yourself that how much preparation you have done as compared to your colleague which will surely boost you up for further preparation.

3. Contact with your Mentors/Seniors. 

Yes you must keep a regular contact with one or few seniors or mentors for guidance and motivation. Whenever you are feeling low, you can call, interact or meet with your seniors that will make you feel fresh. When he or she will express about the job he has done after examination qualification, you will also be aspired of the same and this will motivate you to study again. This will boost you up. So try to establish a regular contact with your senior or mentor.

4. Fix time table not only for study but for other things also.

It is a general perspective of all students that a time table should be framed just for the studies in a whole day. But it is not necessary that you only keep studying whole the day. Doing that will definitely make you feel bore after few days once you start this routine. So it is better to frame a time table which also includes other things besides just the study plans. Other things may includes watching TV, listening to Music, going for prayers, chatting with friends, morning and evening walks, etc. It will recharge your mind and after doing these extra things you will feel fresh. So do not only study all the time in a day. Also make Sunday or any suitable day as holiday on which you will study only few hours than the routine day. Make Sundays the Cheat days. Another important thing you must add to your time table is Sleeping time. You must sleep at least 7 to 8 hours at night. You may manage the sleep time as per your study plans. Good amount of sleep will make you feel fresh and you won’t be able to feel sleepy during your preparation time. Besides this fix a time table for Daily light exercise or Gym or Yoga also because these things will also keep you fit, healthy and fresh.

5. Enjoy your hobby. 

Yes it is very important to enjoy your hobby during your preparation of any competitive exam like JKAS or IAS, etc.  Do not leave your hobby for any reason. Hobby is a favorite Topic of the interviewers also. JKPSC or UPSC usually ask question based on your hobby in the Personality Test or Interview. Enjoying your hobby will not only make you refresh during the preparation stage but also will make your prepare for the Interview. Hobby is a particular thing that you enjoy during your free time. For example, walking, gardening, reading novels or other fiction books, paintings, long drives or short drives, listening to music, watering the plants, Seeding the Birds, gossiping with friends or family, etc. Whenever you feel finished with your study quota of the day or feel bored of studies take a break and enjoy your hobby for some time.

6. Eat and Drink Properly. 

As we all know that health is wealth. We can not study properly without proper Food supply. Our mind needs food for energy. So take proper balance diet during the preparation of any exam. We must keep our brain healthy by eating good foods which are healthy for brain like Milk, dry fruits, fresh fruits, etc. Do not eat fast food and food from outside which may cause a problem to your body and make you feeling unhealthy. This will again hamper your daily routine of study. Take water regularly whole day. Drink about 10 to 12 glasses of water daily. Take soaked dry fruits in morning. Be cautious about your diet especially during your mains exams are going on because any health problems at that time may result in loss of study. If your body and mind is healthy, you will not be able to feel boredom during your preparation. Do not eat much as it may again go problematic in future.

7. Watch Interviews and Live Discussion Videos of Some Successful Candidates.

To remain motivated during the preparation for the JKAS exam or any competitive exam ((IAS), it is very important that one must watch the videos of interviews of Selected candidates. In today’s world, there are various social media platforms are there like facebook, instagram, whatsapp, youtube, etc where such type of content is readily available.

9. True Dream. 

If you have truly decided to be a particular personality then you will be motivated by your dream itself. This is also known as self motivation. If you are moving along the crowd, you will not be able to stay longer in the race. Your dreams should be realistic and not the imaginary ones because imaginary things fades away soon. So keep your dream always alive inside you. This will make you live while preparation of the exam. Many people dream of becoming an IAS or JKAS officer but failed. One of the reasons is that the aspirants have not dreamt truly but just want to do so because others are also doing. So if you start feeling bored during the preparation, start reminding your dream of becoming the High level Public Administrator.

10. Know Why you want to be?

What for you are chasing your dreams? Know 'WHY?'. Why you want to do that? Why you want to be so? Ask these questions to yourself. If you find some valid reasons for qualifying the IAS or JKAS exam, then move ahead. If you do not find a good answer, do not initiate the process of preparation. First clear your Why. If your Why is clear, you will never feel preparation of any exam a boring thing.

11. Fear. 

You can win if you have a fear of losing. Dar Ke Agay Jeet Ha. Maintain a constant fear in your mind that what if you will fail? Failure is a fear that may drag you to do hard work consistently. If one does not have fear, one cannot become successful in a particular field reason being that it will not maintain a consistency in ones preparation. So studying for JKAS OR IAS Mains Examination is itself a challenge because it needs only one thing that is Consistency. So always keep fearing of disqualification, fearing of losing an opportunity, fearing of losing a career, etc that will always keep you motivate towards the study.
