The easiest way of making sure your
work is done in time and you don’t miss deadlines is to plan your
work, identifying your Important, Necessary and Time-waster activities
and allocating the appropriate amount of time to them.
You may hate planning and prefer only to study when the
mood takes you. Unfortunately, you might then find a backlog of work is
quickly building up and you’re feeling stressed out because you
can’t get it done in time. The quality of your work will also suffer.
How much time do I have?
Make a framework for your study plan by putting the following information
into a diary or calendar.
- Day/times of lessons/lectures
- Exam dates
- Holidays/work commitments
- Deadlines — recording this information enables you to see
when you have heavy demands on your time and when you have more flexibility
to include other activities
You will then be able to see how much time you have to
organise your studies.
