One memorable time when I learned something new in an unexpected way was when I learned how to manage my time effectively. I learned this skill about a year ago when I was preparing for my IELTS exam and at the same time studying for my university admission test it was very stressful period for me because I had to balance two important goals. Surprisingly, I learned this lesson from one of my close friends, not from teachers or course. One evening, I was feeling very overwhelmed and one of my best friends, he’s about my busy schedule I listened instead of just giving advice he showed a simple notebook he divided his time into a small block and set specific goals for each study season at first I thought it was too simple to be effectively however However I decided to try his method for one week. To my surprise I become much more productive and less stressed. I realized that proper planning can save a lot of time and energy. When I try the routine, I feel over the moon and when I completed my whole journey like university admission and I’ll test exam and I got a good result and I appreciate my friends because they are planned and he also shared her notebook and time management.

One memorable time when I learned something new in an unexpected way was when I learned how to manage my time effectively. I learned this skill about a year ago when I was preparing for my IELTS exam and, at the same time, studying for my university admission test. It was a very stressful period for me because I had to balance two important goals. Surprisingly, I learned this lesson from one of my close friends, not from teachers or courses. One evening, I was feeling very overwhelmed, and one of my best friends, aware of my busy schedule, showed me a simple notebook. He divided his time into small blocks and set specific goals for each study session. At first, I thought it was too simple to be effective; however, I decided to try his method for one week. To my surprise, I became much more productive and less stressed. I realized that proper planning can save a lot of time and energy. When I followed the routine, I felt over the moon. When I completed my whole journey, including the university admission and IELTS exam, I got a good result. I appreciate my friend because he planned well and also shared his notebook and time management techniques.
