Student Time Management Tips

With the distractions of this modern life, studying can become a nightmare as assignments pile, perhaps you miss a class or two and then you are behind everyone and it all looks so hard! You need some student time management tips to help you sort out this mess and still live a full life!

"It is all too much!"

You stare at the list of things you have to do and despair as deadlines approach and nothing seems to get done in time. The first thing you have to do is stop despairing and start doing! However don't go into it blind or you will end up without a clear goal and plan. First of all let's make that enormous pile of work into a heap of smaller "tasks" that each on their own are manageable. This does not reduce the work in total but it is your first step to good time management.

"So many little tasks!"

Ok, so now you have a heap of small things that need to be done, some of them are easy and some are not, some might be interesting and some might be so boring they put you to sleep but this is important to note. Get all the boring, difficult and unpleasant tasks and schedule them to be done first! Don't put them off do not do them later or later never comes! This does not mean you have to do boring task after boring task however.

"I Hate Doing This stuff!"

As much as you hate doing the boring stuff they need to be done, but you do not need to do them sequentially. Instead schedule your day into chunks of time which you allocate tasks to do. This means you can put some boring stuff in followed by something more interesting so you do not get bogged down in one thing you hate and give up. IF you have not completed a task by the time you need to start another one reschedule it for the next day to finish, starting something new can give you more energy and invigorate your mind rather than bore it to death.

These student time management tips are just a starting point but should help you to learn to prioritize, organize and sustain good study habits that will allow you to free up more time for other interests and in the future long lasting success!
