Trying to get on a new schedule...

Now that I've finished with Web Design Services I have to really pour myself into my college studies.
They didn't go well today, I'm normally a swift reader with good comprehension but when I take notes as I go the pace is excruciating and whats worse, I don't retain a darn thing. I've decided that starting tomorrow (June 4) I'm going to read for 45 minutes straight, putting tiny marks where I find note-worth info and then spend 15-20 minutes making notes before moving on to the next subject. I'm also going to use a timer so that I dont spend more than an hour and fifteen minutes on each subject. I'm not trying to spend all my time studying, I just need a basic understanding of the material prior to starting school because I feel thats my best bet to stay ahead and do well in school.

Its imperative that I start of strong. The summer session is short and I'm not sure what to expect from college.

I need to do about 20 pages of each book everyday in order to finish each one before the first day. My goal is to only note the actual info--not every word. I started off doing a very tedious job of note-taking in History but thats neither here nor there now. From this minute I can only move forward.

So, starting tomorrow I will implement a new schedule, as soon as possible I will begin my studies each morning, reading the book for about 45 minutes straight, making minor pencil marks and then I'll go through for about 20 minutes and make notes.

So assuming that I begin work by 7 am every morning I expect to be done with my mandatory studies of English Comp., US History 1, and Health Ed each day by around 10:30 am. At which point I can go exercise, shower and then eat something. I should be rejoining civilization around noon each day. Not bad, I think.

But I also need to find time for Algebra and forieng language. I think that I will focus on Esperanto first, start a regular Spanish study schedule after I start college....

Not 100% sure.

Any suggestions from the readers?
