Time Management Tips for Students
Please note it is your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness, usefulness, appropriateness and safety of any information, opinion or advice contained in the content below.
- Build on Success: If you see that certain methods of work are successful for you, then use these and build on them.
- If you do poorly or fail a test, find out from your teacher/professor what you did wrong and how you can improve. Don’t dwell on your failure but go forward using your new information to change what you did wrong.
- Look at each day first thing in the morning: set your priorities, make a separate list of what you want to accomplish. Keep your daily goals in mind.
- Once you have set your priorities for the day, do one thing at a time. Don’t get involved in trying to accomplish all your goals at once.
- There is always time to do the important things. If you find yourself short of time, skip what you can do another day. (Don’t forget: recreation is important).
- Don’t feel guilty or upset about what you didn’t get done at the end of t a particular day. This is counter productive.
- Use good study techniques: divide up study periods with short breaks; outline books and notes; read for content and ideas; set the proper study-atmosphere.
- Before a counseling appointment, plan your questions.
- If you are waiting for an appointment, use that time to plan, read, write a letter home or just relax. This waiting time may be a gift.
- When you find yourself procrastinating, ask yourself: ‘what is in this for me?’ and ‘what am I avoiding?’
- Set time deadlines for each goal.
- Make use of tutors if you are having problems with a certain subject.
- Trust your own priorities. Don’t let someone else’s ideas change what you want to accomplish that day.
- When you find yourself spending time on an unplanned event, don’t get upset and feel guilty. Just use this time as an enriching experience.
- Learn to distinguish someone’s need fro help from their trying to avoid doing their own work.
- ALWAYS ASK YOURSELF: ‘WHAT IS THE BEST USE OF MY TIME RIGHT NOW?’
Based on Alan Lakein.
I found this overview in the bottom of a drawer I was cleaning out. Realizing how helpful these pointers are, I thought I’d share it with all students everywhere.
Good luck studying!
