Managing Time

Good time management can really make a difference to your achievements at university. In most disciplines, you are expected to study on your own a great deal and that needs some organisation if you are to have a well-balanced lifestyle while at university. If you’re to achieve a good degree the focus has to be on academic work and deadlines but it’s important to realise that you can’t study all day every day. Eating and sleeping have to be fitted into your day as well as things like laundry and, of course, a social life.

  • Planning your working time
  • Be prepared to change plans
  • Keep focused
