Time Management

Create a semester calendar outlining your academic assignments and other events.
Create a daily to-do list, making sure you do the following:
- Set priorities and distinguish between what you “must” do, “should” do, and “could” do; and
- Break large tasks into manageable chunks.
Use your waiting time between classes, appointments, and other activities.
Address issues with overscheduling and learn to say no.
Be aware of procrastination and distractions by monitoring the time you spend emailing, texting, and talking on the phone.
Become aware of your body’s rhythm and work with it.
Study difficult and less engaging material first when you’re less fatigued and more alert.
Take study breaks to keep from becoming bored or distracted, but make sure breaks remain short—no longer than five minutes.
