The world beyond college is equally fast-paced, and sleep and vacations are just as infrequent. Students might as well get used to it, right? Not anymore.

K. Anders Ericsson: Rest, repose are important for a balanced life

Sleep, work, repeat. That schedule—sometimes minus the sleep—seems like the inevitable formula for success. Many students rise to the call of society, involving themselves in several organizations and a job on top of being a responsible student, so that restful sleep is a luxury and relaxation relegated to distant breaks in the school year.

The world beyond college is equally fast-paced, and sleep and vacations are just as infrequent. Students might as well get used to it, right? Not anymore.

Researchers are now starting to reveal that taking naps and getting full nights of sleep as well as taking time to relax by going for a walk or enjoying a hobby are all habits of the truly successful individuals.

Society might term these activities a mark of laziness, but Dr. K Anders Ericsson, an esteemed faculty member at Florida State, has extensively studied the daily regimens of successful people and found that taking time off to recharge is key.

“The idea here is that if you really want to improve what you’re doing as opposed to just keep doing what you’re doing, then you really need that concentration and that focus that will actually allow you to stretch yourself a little bit further than you’re currently able to do it,” Ericsson said.

Ericsson arrived at this conclusion by studying expert musicians and others with performance-driven skills, and he and his colleagues found that these people typically practiced for uninterrupted sessions of 90 minutes and no more than four and a half hours per day.

He also found that practicing is the first thing they do in the morning, following a good night’s sleep. Ideally, an alarm clock should be used as a reminder to go to bed; waking up at the right time should happen naturally after a full rest.

“If you wake up and you’re really fresh, I think that is the time that people have found is the most effective time if you want to stretch yourself because throughout the day you’re being interrupted and you’re going to eventually get exhausted, and so the time when you actually can control how much concentration you can exert is probably in the morning,” Ericsson said.

This may seem a difficult task for students juggling multiple classes and other obligations, but there are ways around it.

“Even if you just set aside one hour to study the thing that you felt that you wanted to really master, that’s one hour and over a year that’s 300 hours,” Ericsson said.

This idea has a multitude of applications: students can use it to help themselves get ahead in school, or they can use it to zero in on one subject or skill or trade they especially want to craft.

To be successful in school, Ericsson believes that one of the most important methods is beginning each semester with a plan, knowing due dates ahead of time and being able to prepare far in advance. He advocates studying the material for each class a little bit each day and becoming familiar with it enough to be able to summarize it. He also recommends organizing notes and talking with teachers.

If things are still too busy, Ericsson suggests evaluating what’s truly important and necessary.

“You need to decide what is it that’s most important to you, and then try to protect time for achieving that, and then if you see here that other things are going to infringe on your ability to make that commitment, then you have a choice to be made,” Ericsson said.

A lot of the trouble, Ericsson said, may come from having the wrong perspective.
“A lot of students, they spend four years finding out that there isn’t anything that they’re gifted at, and if you look back on it that’s a wasted opportunity to become excellent at something that’s their choice,” he said.

Rather than trying out multiple fields to find one where talent stands out, Ericsson believes in finding one where passion stands out, since his findings show that success has more to do with training and dedication than with talent.

FSU student Amanda Zubillaga agrees with these findings, and as a musician she sees them played out in her own life.

“If you truly love what you’re working on, you’ll never stop,” Zubillaga said. “You’ll always be thinking of the certain melody or motives that you fell in love with. I think you can be successful if you put in the extra effort, but you’ll truly be successful if you love what you do, because it doesn’t feel like you’re working.”

Righteously Lyrics
Artist: Lucinda Williams (Buy Lucinda Williams CDs)
Album: World Without Tears

www.lyricsdepot.com/lucinda-williams/righteously.html

You don't have to prove
Your manhood to me constantly
I know you're the man can't you see
I love you Righteously

Why you wanna dis me
After the way you been kissin' me
After those pretty things you say
And the love we made today

When you run your hand
All up and run it back down my leg
Get excited and bite my neck
Get me all worked up like that

Think this through
I laid it down for you everytime
Respect me I give you what's mine
You're entirely way too fine

Arms around my waist
You get a taste of how good this can be
Be the man you ought to tenderly
Stand up for me

Flirt with me don't keep hurtin' me
Don't cause me pain
Be my lover don't play no game
Just play me John Coltraine

Lucinda Williams with the Bob Dylan cover "Tryin To Get To Heaven" from the Amnesty International tribute album "Chimes of Freedom" celebrating Amnesty International's 50th year advocating for human rights


The air is getting hotter
There's a rumbling in the skies
I've been wading through the high muddy water
With the heat rising in my eyes
Every day your memory grows dimmer
It doesn't haunt me like it did before
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door

When I was in Missouri
They would not let me be
I had to leave there in a hurry
I only saw what they let me see
You broke a heart that loved you
Now you can seal up the book and not write anymore
I've been walking that lonesome valley
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door

People on the platforms
Waiting for the trains
I can hear their hearts a-beatin'
Like pendulums swinging on chains
I tried to give you everything
That your heart was longing for
I'm just going down the road feeling bad
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door

I'm going down the river
Down to New Orleans
They tell me everything is gonna be all right
But I don't know what "all right" even means
I was riding in a buggy with Miss Mary-Jane
Miss Mary-Jane got a house in Baltimore
I been all around the world, boys
Now I'm trying to get to heaven before they close the door

Gonna sleep down in the parlor
And relive my dreams
I'll close my eyes and I wonder
If everything is as hollow as it seems
Some trains don't pull no gamblers
No midnight ramblers like they did before
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
Now I'm trying to get to heaven before they close the door
