I started studying, but I don’t know when to stop.
Even when I start studying, the morning slips by, and I stay at my desk because I don’t know when to stop.
Scenes
- The whole morning’s gone by. — I opened my book, and the morning flew by. I feel like I haven’t done enough, so I can’t decide when to close it.
- Let’s do just one more page. — Once you finish one problem, the next one is right there. Without deciding how far to go, it’s hard to know when to stop.
- You can stop when you know where the end is. — When we look at your study routine, we start with your stopping point, not how long you studied. Without one, you keep checking whether you’re done.
- Let’s close the book here today. — Tonight, choose a number of problems to solve or pages to read. Notice whether you still feel like doing more once you’ve reached your goal.
- What you feel after stopping is part of studying, too. — Some days, even with a stopping point, it’s hard to close the book right away. If you jot down which extra pages you read and when you stopped, it’ll be easier to find a stopping point for next time.
