10 time management Tips for Students tip 5-10

Tip 5. Review Your Notes Every Day.

Reviewing helps you reinforce what you've learned, so you need less time to study before a test. You’ll also be ready if you get called on in class or have to take a pop quiz.

Tip 6. Get a Good Night’s Sleep

Your brain needs rest to perform at its peak. Lack of sleep makes the day seem longer & your tasks seem more difficult

Tip 7. Communicate your Schedule to Others.

If phone calls or texts are proving to be distractions, tell your friends that you are only available at a certain time of a day & not to expect a response at other times.

Tip 8. Become a Taskmaster.

Give yourself a time budget & plan your activities accordingly. Figure out how much free time you have each week before you add any commitments.

Tip 9. Don’t waste Time Agonizing,

Instead of agonizing & procrastinating, just do it. Wasting an entire evening worrying about something that you’re supposed to be doing is not productive, and can increase your stress.

Tip 10. Determine Your Priorities

You can’t do everything at once. Establish the importance of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable.
