 Hi friends welcome to my channel I am Aarpata Karva and in this video I am going to talk about a short short way in which you can make a timetable to crack UGC net examination. Now guys we know that net is a very very tough exam, I would say it is one of the toughest exams of India and the syllabus is unbelievably extensive plus you have a lot of pressure when you are sitting for this exam mental, emotional even financial pressure because most of the students who give this exam are of about 23-24 years of age they have cleared their masters and now are sitting for this exam so they have a lot of financial pressure on themselves as well. So in this video I am going to talk about how you can make a timetable of very simple one using which you can easily clear this exam but before we talk about timetable it is important to know why it is important to make a timetable. Frederick Nyshe a very famous friend philosopher said that if you are sure of your why then you can take care of any house in your life and this is the reason why we are going to first talk about why timetable is important and only then we are going to look at how to make a timetable. So the very first thing is timetable helps to solve the problem of chaos in your life. So most of the time what happens is when we start preparing for this exam sometimes we don't feel that we are in the mood to study. Now this is where timetable comes into the picture because when you have defined the timetable for the entire year then whether you like it or not you have to stick to it. So most of the students when I talk to them I find that one year timetable is made in 20 minutes. Now this is a very serious business people you cannot create a timetable for entire year in just 20 minutes and for an exam as crucial as UGC net. So today in this video I am going to talk about some important ways in which you can make a timetable that is sustainable and a timetable that requires a proper structure so that you cover the syllabus in a part and then by the time you reach the exam date you are able to properly revise all the topics. So rather than making a timetable which is about Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and you are fitting what all things you have to study it is better than you make a timetable which is sustainable because if you have not read something on Monday then on Tuesday you will have a double pressure of doing things that you are supposed to do on Tuesday and also doing things that you have not done on Monday. So it is a very pressure related game so to avoid that pressure I am going to give you another method to make a timetable which will help you prepare for this exam in a stress-free manner. Now to know how to make a timetable you have to first self-analyze yourself. Even in Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna says to Arjun that you have to first understand yourself Arjun only then you will be able to fight a war as important as Mahabharata. Similarly you as an Arjun have to understand that what is your requirement what kind of timetable are you aiming for. If you are a college going student your timetable will be extremely different from a student who is not going to a college and just studying from home. If you are a homemaker your timetable will be extremely different from someone who is going to a job and balancing UGC-Net preparation along with the job. So you have to figure out that what kind of requirement do you have are you a morning person or are you a night person and then you have to finalize the number of hours you can devote on a daily basis to prepare for this exam. But guys in all this you don't have to lose focus. Alexander Graham Bell said a very important line he said that when you concentrate all your thought upon the work at hand that is the time when you can create wonders. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus. Sun rays is everywhere in the earth but when you put a lens towards it and when you direct the rays towards a paper then that paper starts burning that is the power of focus. So analyze yourself and then decide the number of hours you are going to focus for this particular exam. In order to make a timetable you have to first understand the 3M model which was actually laid out by Toyota. Now Howard has been a great follower of this model and this model is actually taught to MBA students in Howard. So what is this Toyota way? Toyota as we know is a Japanese company which makes car and they have a Japanese business model. I am not here to promote Toyota car but I am here to tell you about the 3M model. Now what are these 3Ms? The first M is Muda. Muda stands for wastefulness. Muda is a Japanese term which is translated as wastefulness in English. Now wastefulness means topics that are 100% not going to be asked in the exam. So you have to exclude all the topics from your timetable which are extremely wasteful which will not come in the exam. For example in case of UGC net exam the first topic that we start studying is Anglo-Saxon or Anglo-Normal period. Now from this particular age only one question is asked and that to sometimes it is not a guarantee that every time a question like that will flash in the paper. So this topic is going to come under the Muda category. It is a wasteful topic that you can exclude. You should not be studying. The second M is Mura. Mura means imbalance or inconsistency. Now a lot of people have this habit of getting indulged in Mura. We always overestimate what we can do in one day and we always underestimate what we can do in 10 years. And this is the main principle of Mura, imbalance. We will study for 20 hours one day and we are not going to study for 3 days in a sequence. What will happen? We are going to get into a state of imbalance or inconsistency and that is what we have to avoid. We have to do things consistently. You have to ensure that if you are studying today for 2 hours it is fine. You should be studying for 2 hours for the next consecutive all days. Studying for 2 hours is not a problem. Studying for 10 hours one day not studying for 10 more days is a problem. So stay away from the issue of Mura. Understand and remember the age old saying, slow and steady wins the race. And now we come on to the third M that is Moori. Now what is Moori? Moori means overload. That means when you try to overload yourself so much you cannot sustain that process for long. For example you might start doing British literature at one point in your day then you suddenly decide that you are also going to do paper one and then you suddenly decide that you are also going to sit for a 2 hour mock. Now you overload yourself so much that you will not be able to sustain it. You will get tensed, you will get fatigued and then you might not be able to continue the process. So stay away from overloading yourself, go slow and steady and follow the 3 M's of the Toyota model. So that is very important. Why I am not talking about timetable right now, why I am giving you so much context before I actually start giving you a timetable because the vaccine will work when actually the patient comes to know. So let us first understand what goes wrong with us only then we can understand how we can cure it. So till now in the video I have actually told you that what is the problem that most of the students face and now I am going to take you to a model wherein I am going to put forward in front of you how you can cure that problem. So now that we have understood the problem let's get on to the solution. So we are going to talk about the Kanban model of making a timetable. Now what is the Kanban model? It is a very very easy model which says that you have to divide any task of your life into 3 parts. Task to do, task that you are doing and task that are done. Now what does it mean? That means anything that you have to do has to either be in one of these 3 categories. So for example there are 20 chapters that you have to study for UGC net exam. Now you have to ensure that all the 20 chapters are further divided into topics and subtopics. So you end up making about a list of 100 subtopics that you have to study for the exam. Now all these 100 topics will first be in the category of to-do because that is what you have to do. You have to start working on those topics, start reading, making notes, learning them. Now every day you choose one or two topics from the to-do list and you put it in the doing category where you start doing those tasks. For example you have chosen a topic like TS Eliot from the subcategory. I am talking about people who are studying for UGC net English. So you have chosen that topic TS Eliot. Now that topic goes from to-do to doing list. And in the doing list you start doing that topic. So for example TS Eliot takes 2 days for you to complete. So for 2 days TS Eliot remains in the doing section. And once you have made notes, you have learned it, TS Eliot moves to the done section. And that is how you have to keep on doing things for each of the topic. What generally we do is that we are going to put all the topics in the to-do. Then we are going to take 10 topics from the to-do. We start working on it and we get so complicatedly involved in those topics that nothing goes out of the doing section to the done section. So there is one topic which we have just covered 40%. There is another topic which we have only covered 35%. There is one topic which is on the finishing stage 90%. But we are not completing it to the 100% and it does not move to the done list. Guys understand, nothing is more satisfying than tick marks. So ensure that every day you decide which topics you are going to pick from the to-do section and move to the doing list. So if today you know that you have 10 hours. So you took a topic from paper 1, that is teaching aptitude. Even within the teaching aptitude, you took a sub topic, maybe evaluation system. And you know that I will take 5 hours to complete this topic. So today you took this topic, studied it thoroughly, made notes, and today you move it to the done section. And then you take another 5 hour topic, work on it and then move it to the done section. What are the benefits of this? The first benefit of Kanban technique is that you will be better organized. You will get to know every day which topics are your children, which topics you are working on and which topics you have completed. Secondly, you will avoid burnouts. It will not happen that you are studying a lot and studying less. You will decide for yourself some time every day. That time you will take some topics from to-do, start working on them. If they are not finished, then they will shift to tomorrow. Tomorrow you will complete the topics in the doing category. And then you are going to take any new topic from the to-do category. The third benefit is that it is very, very effective. I am telling you, this is the most effective technique that I have ever shared with my aspirants. And you are going to send me a thank you card once you start using it. Because this is as effective as something that you might not have used and you don't know how valuable it can be. And number 4, you will be always aware of where you stand. You will know every day how much portion of your syllabus you have completed. So that is what is going to give you satisfaction. You will get away from the fear of unknown. If you know that you have some topics left that you take for 100 hours and the exam is after 30 days, then you can calculate today that how many hours you will have to study for 30 days so that you complete these topics. And that is how you are going to get satisfaction. So as your topics go to the done category from to-do, your confidence will go up. Most of the students don't feel confident during the exam because their topics are not done, they are in doing. They have read a lot of topics but they have not completed them completely. So all those topics are in doing on a 50% or 70% or 93% stage. So I hope that this video will prove fruitful in your preparation journey.
