		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Any suggestion and help is greatly appreciated! I have been spending every single day in the library working long hours since the past 2 months. If I am to continue this streak of mine, who knows what will become of me in the next few months.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Start with the suggested posts on the sidebar of my blog as well as the student-related articles listed in this post.</description>

An interesting way to put your toe in the water with something grand is to adopt a “saturday morning project.” That is, put aside a few hours saturday morning, when you’re not going to be working on anything else, to explore the concept. As it gains momentum, then it can work itself into more of your regular schedule. 
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
That's quite an interesting approach. I will try it out and report back on how it works..</description>

		<description>Hello, I am currently a 2nd year Maths major and am finding it extremely difficult to be organised! Just take what happened today and last week to illustrate what a mess my study life is as a whole! 

I had a coursework (Statistics) due in today and also, an Algebra test. Prior to this, I spent the whole of last week doing only Algebra problem sheets as well as working on the coursework (which unfortunately, was very hard!). As a result, I disregarded my two other courses and I am a very hardworking student to begin with, not someone who works last minute definitely! Still, I couldn't find the time to study the other two courses and also I realized what did for last week was painful, energy sapping and honestly, somewhat a waste of time! Hence, I am very keen to try out this fixed-schedule productivity. Anyone have any ideas about how should I go about scheduling the day? Also, a silly question. What does it mean when it says we should work 'backwards'? Say I listed some task chronologically from 1 to 10, am I supposed to work from tast 10 to task 1? 

Any suggestion and help is greatly appreciated! I have been spending every single day in the library working long hours since the past 2 months. If I am to continue this streak of mine, who knows what will become of me in the next few months.</description>
