Tips for Management Time for
Collage Students
1.
Read and Block your courses calendar
|
Sometimes
the best advice is among the simplest: One of the first and most important
steps in achieving successful time management in college is to read your
course calendars carefully.
“[A
course calendar] is your best friend,” says Matthew Schlager. If you know the
due dates for specific assignments and the time frames for quizzes, papers
and exams, you’ll be able to spread out the necessary school work.

Make a Plan and Schedule

Write
down everything in one place. Schedule when you plan to sleep, when you are
going to do your laundry, when you're going to call your parentsThe
crazier your schedule gets, the more important this becomes.
Do
you have a large research
paper due the last week of the semester? Work backward in
your calendar and figure out how much time you need to write it, how much
time you'll need to research it, and
|
|
how much time you'll need to pick your topic. If you
think you'll need six weeks for the entire project, work backward from the
due date and schedule the time into your calendar before it's too late.

everything you need to get done. “You can check [each item] off after you’re
done with it.
