Studying can be messy but with good time management you can study efficiently!
Practical Tips For Better Time Management
Plan your schedule and to-do lists with a calendar or productivity app.
Here are some free applications you can use:
Set aside time at the end of each week to plan for the upcoming week.
Determine what are your non-negotiables and block out time for them E.g Family time, lessons, CCAs, meal times, relaxation, exercise Pro-tip: Sundays or Mondays are suggested days to plan for the upcoming week
List out your appointments and tasks for the week and rank them in order of priority based on their urgency and importance.
Assign an amount of time for each appointment/task
Be reasonable about the amount of time needed for each!
Setting unrealistic goals will make stressed out or feel like you’re not being productive Pro-tip: Always set goals you're most confident about
Slot these appointments and tasks within your schedule
If you don’t manage to accomplish all your lists within the week, don't be discouraged! Set a reminder to include them into your follow week’s schedule.
For impromptu appointments or tasks that appear over the week, re-adjust your schedule accordingly!
