4. Revisit and revise your plan


Where to start? Set Goals!
What is Important?
• Make your goals specific and
concrete.

• Set a deadline for your goals.

• Integrate your goals: school,


personal and career.

• Realize that goals change,


but know which goals to stick
to!
From Goals…Set priorities
• What’s important and what isn’t?

• What order do things need to be done in?

• Once you know what your priorities are,


you need to plan out a schedule for the
semester, the week and the day.

• Acknowledge the realities of college


schedules.
• Planning may seem hard at first, but the
more you do it, the easier and more
natural it gets.
Make a Schedule
Set Up Your Semester Calendar
 Block all important set time obligations.

 Block all class and lab times.

 Look at the syllabus for the class schedule.


• Note the weight of the activities.
• Highlight all exams and project due dates.

 Work backwards from exams and papers (PERT).

 Study time.

 Time for your sanity.


Organizing Your Time
• Set realistic goals, there are
only 24 hours in a day.
• Use spare time to review.
• Study at the same time each
day: make it a habit
• Divide study time into
manageable chunks
• Leave extra time at the end!
Calendars
The “to do” List
Learn to say “No!”
• Avoid the temptation to socialize when you’ve scheduled
work.
• If friends ask you to join them last minute, decline outright,
but ask if you could get together later in the week.
• Socializing is important when you don’t have other things
to worry about!
• Study somewhere you won’t be tempted to chat, watch
movies or YouTube, or use social utilities like Facebook.
• Texts are a major distraction.
REVISE and PREVIEW:
Staying on top of things…
• Immediately note all changes.
• Exam/Paper due date revisions
• Meeting additions/cancellations
• Work schedule changes
• Upcoming visitors, etc., etc…

• Preview the upcoming week making any


necessary adjustments.
• Preview each day to see what might
happen…
