From my point of view, organized study plan plays a crucial role as it directly impact the performance
of the students. The biggest challenge which is being faced by every student is maintaining the
studying balance with the social life. Excess of one thing could lead failure to another like if I am
studying hard, at one point it would make me depressed or be stressed (Spiteri and Chang Rundgren,
2020). That is why it is essential to be socialized with friends or continue any hobby which helps to
recharge my batteries to study back.
Why this would affect your planning of study?
