Master Time Management

Create a weekly schedule: Break your week up into smaller parts to make it less intimidating. Schedule in time for school work, relaxation, exercise, and time with friends.

Weekly Schedule : This worksheet will help you break down your week day by day.

Use a "to-do" list: Start your day by creating a to-do list of all the things you want to accomplish. Divide this list up into two categories: Priorities & Can Wait Until Tomorrow. Focus on the priorities and then move to the items that can wait.

Cross it off: Keep your to-do list in view and cross off the tasks as you finish them. It is a great feeling to see your list with all of the items crossed off!

Is procrastination your middle name?

Try these tips to beat procrastination

  • Break large tasks, like research papers & studying for finals, into smaller, more manageable tasks.
  • Work on difficult or unpleasant tasks first. This will get them out of the way.
  • Do your work at the times you work the best. You will get more accomplished with your full attention to the task.
  • Unplug the internet and turn off your cell phone. You will get more work done if you are not taking breaks to check your friends' Facebook status or texting your friends.
  • Set goals to read a specific amount of pages, do a specific number of problems, or write a specific number of pages during your study sessions. When you meet your goal, reward yourself with a much needed break.
