Six Phases of Study

The 6 phases of Study…

You are listening to jazz.

  • Your first day of study is great.
  • Your textbooks are amazing – packed with knowledge, facts and insight
You are listening to Pop Music.

  • You are excited
  • Like a kitten with it’s first ball of wool
  • Books are brilliant!
You are listening to Heavy Metal

  • Now we are getting somewhere
  • Information Rulz
  • Throwing the horns at the devil mama


You are listening to Gangsta Rap

  • Disjointed words thud as you sway to the rhythm of learning
  • Almost anarchistic now, you rebelliously chant the monotone of repetition
  • Whose your mama
You are listening to Soul

  • Sullen, you sit gazing at the pixelated screen
  • Bloated with information overload
  • Burdened with unfettered access to the information mothership you become idle, slovenly and detached from the world
  • Words blur as sleep calls


You are listening to the voices in your head

  • You have built a defensive wall of boxes around your desk
  • Sudden movements stimulate a hyper-reflexic response
  • All that has been read is now forgotten
  • The blind panic of exam day looms…
