A student who does not have good study habits may not perform well in class recitation, quizzes, and activities. This could happen because he may come to school unprepared.

Fortunately, tasks such as reading textbooks, writing papers, and taking tests get easier with practice” Marabut’s article (2006) of Improving Academic Performance p. 96. The word study is connected to the word learning. Learning consists of discovering what generates pleasure and what generates distress for the individual. Changes produced by learning are not always positive in nature. People can acquire bad habits as well as good ones. Good study habit brings many possibilities of attaining better academic performance. Moreover, there are already numerous studies conducted about study habits in connection to the academic performance of student. Mohasco (2007), “Good study habits with proper attitudes will lead to good student’s performance in school”. If an individual is having a planned study habit and is willing to...

...Study Habits Synthesis This part of the research provides different facts and studies that will help the research be more informative and truthful. This part was laid by different people who had undergone a related study. Filipinos are very much aware of the negative traits that were passed on by our folks. It is the students who are the affected and influenced on their studies. It is so hard for us to take away the traits we have since birth because it is already running through our blood. Mañana Habit First let us define what Mañana Habit is..Mañana is a Spanish word meaning “Tomorrow” or “At an specified future time”. In short, it is exactly described as “Procrastination”. In Filipino terms, Mañana Habit means “Mamayana” or “Do it Later”. Which results in a very unorganized way of doing things, specifically for office tasks because it affects the overall performance of an employee. Skipping deadlines, stress and anxiety are just some effects of that habit. Why am I sharing this? Simply because I couldn’t get rid of that problem. I’ve realized that this malpractice is hard to remove. Based from my experience, this really affects my overall performance in work. Many of my colleagues says “magalingkakwing, tamadkalang”, meaning I’ve got a talent but it’s just I’m too lazy to do things. Why? Simply because I am easily distracted by my surroundings, events, ideas that pops out of my mind. Leaving the work pending and my mind is wandering all over. The sad...

Happy-go-lucky is a characteristic of a person in which he is optimistic on things around him, takes things lightly, and often smiles. Often, Filipinos get their smiles while watching television. According to the study of Sigmund Freud, watching television can cause absorption and imaginative involvement, a defense mechanism to escape one’s problems. Many people consider the hour of study, as very important. Student need to develop time management skills.
