OK study habits are not good enough study habits

If the way you are studying has always ‘worked’ for you and you are getting through the years with ok grades, why would you want to change anything? This is the kind of argument many students give me. “It’s worked so far, so why should I change”. Problem is, if you are with someone discussing your grades, unless it is to apply for an Ivy League uni, it’s probably because you are not doing that well. In which case you may be passing but your study habits are not doing the job. There are many reasons for wanting to stick with what we know: fear of change, fear of new things, fear that this will mean a lot more work, fear that even trying something new will not change things. Most of all though I believe the resistance to trying new methods is : Laziness. It is often just too much trouble to make changes, develop new strategies and energize your motivation to keep going and do more. Take the chance - it is worth it.
