Here are some time management tips to help students
get the most out of their time and to help relieve stress associated with
the feeling of being rushed.
* Never think of your assignments as being too hard, instead think of
them as being a challenge. If you think of them as being too hard then
you can get bogged down in them and you can keep putting them off until
the very last minute and find that you are rushed when it comes to completing
them.
* Make sure that you arrange a timetable each week for your assignments
and stick to it no matter what.
* Try to arrange your studies around any family commitments or commitments
you have in your social life, this way you will be able to study and have
time for yourself.
* Make sure that you understand the coursework or homework before you
leave the classroom and if in doubt ask the tutor what is required.
* Read over textbooks and notes you have taken more than once, this way
you will pick up things which you might have previously missed.
* Allow yourself around 3 hours every day to go over notes and study textbooks
so that you are not doing it all at the last minute.
* Try to make it a point to attend as many lectures, workshops and seminars
as you possibly can.
* Join a study group and work with friends.
* Always make sure you get a good balance between work and social life.
* Set a specific time per day to study each subject and study one subject
each day.
* Never leave anything until the last minute.
* If you can manage your time effectively then you won't feel stressed
and you are able to study without distractions.
* Makes sure that you include lots of shorts breaks in your schedule when
studying, if you are studying for long hours at a time then you will tire
yourself out and this leads to stress and when you are stressed you wont
work efficiently.
* Always set yourself goals, by setting goals and sticking to them you
will find that you get more done and enjoy doing it, examples for goals
are reading specific books, making a presentation or writing essays.
* Make the most from the handbooks and guides that all universities and
colleges provide students.
* Always try to keep on top of things by meeting your deadlines, this
will make sure that your work doesn't build up and you have to do it all
once and feel rushed, if you are rushed then you will make more mistakes.
* Make sure you allow time when making deadlines for going over your work
before you have to hand it in, aim to have work completed before the day
it has to be handed in and this will give you time to make any corrections
you need to make.
* Be persistent in your studies and don't give up too easily, if you don't
understand something at first then take your time and go over it again.
* Start your coursework as soon as you know what to do.
* Never be afraid to ask the tutor or lecturer at the end of lessons to
go over any points which you are unclear on, you should never leave without
knowing exactly what is expected of you.
