Ten Tips For Better Time Management

1. Make class time your best study time.


Come prepared
- No time to read the whole assignment - at least survey it
- Review notes from previous class
Listen attentively
- Paraphrase what the professor says in your own words
2. Make a daily list.
Prioritize the items
- Keep it short - 5 or 6 items - both academic and personal
- Set small specific goals - i.e., read 5 pages in Psychology chapter
3. Make a weekly schedule (done once a semester)
of all classes, work and extracurricular activities, housekeeping duties, sleeping and
eating, blank spaces to fit in necessary activities as they come up. Schedule study time at
a ratio of two hours of study per hour of class .
4. Use your daylight hours and minutes.
Stay on campus
- Find a quiet place to study
- Ease yourself into material by pre-reading first
Set up blocks of time for study
Use time in between classes
- Review notes right before class
- Review notes right after class
- Memorize important terms (3 x 5 cards)
- Make a list
5. Make a semester calendar.
Wall or desk calendar for major exams, due dates and meetings
Pocket calendar - reminder of classes, appointments, meetings, errands
6. Don't procrastinate.
Don't let questions about material accumulate
Instead of trying to get it perfect - just do it
7. Concentrate on one thing at a time.
Be active in what you are doing at the time
Plan and take study breaks, study 30-40 minutes with 5-10 minute breaks
8. Use your weekly schedule. Learn to say "NO"
9. Set deadlines and reward yourself.
10. Be realistic in your expectations of yourself.
