It is not unreasonable for a graduate student to feel overwhelmed by work and school assignment. A reasonable approach will be to sacrifice my three TTT's (Time, Talent and Treasure). This means spending my time well and reasonably, accommodating my studies more than anything else; investing in the skills that would nurture my talents such as regular exercises, limited entertainment and commitment to academic success despite end time despondence that graduate school is difficult.

In the second instant, I intend to apply a remarkable strategy known as read smarter and not harder. Many graduate students read harder without success. I intend to billet points on my first reading, engaging in sports and give my body enough rest that it deserved. Not many students know this academic trick. It is a trick for students vested with multiple responsibilities.

The last but not the least is using my time wisely, reasonably and investing quality time on each assignment for better performance. I feel that if I put these strategies into practice, I will be successful in Graduate school at Keiser.
