How I Graduated College In 3 Years
Summary
- I learned a valuable lesson from pledging a fraternity: strict schedules can boost productivity.
- During pledging, I wasn't allowed to talk to girls, drink, or chat while studying, which helped me focus.
- I spent 4 hours a day in the library doing my work, which changed my perspective on time management.
- By sticking to a strict study schedule, I realized I could finish my day's work and even prepare for future tasks.
- This practice ensured that I was a week ahead of my exams, making cramming and all-nighters unnecessary.
- Preparing in advance made me look smarter because I had already done the work beforehand.

How To Take Action
A good way to boost productivity is by creating a strict schedule like I did during my time pledging a fraternity. Start by dedicating a specific time each day solely for your work or study. Make this non-negotiable, like my four-hour library sessions. This forces you to focus and stop multitasking, which can distract you from what's important.
To make it easy, try setting up a quiet workspace where you won’t be distracted. Turn off your phone and avoid all non-essential conversations. This will let you use your time effectively, allowing you to not just complete today's work but even get ahead.
Next, try to plan your tasks for the coming days once you've finished your current work. This is how I managed to stay ahead of exams without the stress of last-minute cramming. Preparing in advance won't just elevate your productivity; it'll make you seem smarter and more prepared.
These strategies don’t require money or much extra time—just discipline. You’ll likely find you have more time for the things you enjoy, feeling less overwhelmed by tasks, all thanks to a simple, consistent schedule.
