Creating an organization system that works for you is key in managing your time well. 以下是一些建议:
- At the beginning of each semester, add all important dates, assignments and exams to your calendar.
- Before the beginning of a new week, take some time to go over what you have due and make a plan/to-do list to accomplish your tasks. 例如, if you have a paper due on Friday, what can you plan to do each day so that your paper is completed by the deadline?
- Be specific when you plan. 而不是 of writing down “study for Biology”, write down “review chapter 12 textbook and quiz questions for Biology exam”.
- Plan to work on more than one subject a day to avoid burnout.
- For your most difficult courses, plan to review and study information at least 3-4 times a week.
- Make sure to schedule time to do your class readings to better understand the material.
- 为考试, plan to start studying two weeks in advance, and add chapters you want to cover each day to your calendar. 这里有一个例子.
There are a few reasons for procrastinating. Check to see if you identify with the reasons below and review the suggested strategies.
Reason 1: The task is overwhelming
Practice breaking up large tasks into smaller, specific tasks. When planning for a big research paper, for example, avoid writing down “work on paper”. 而不是, think about creating a list of steps to complete your paper (for example, 回顾3篇文章, 撰写论文陈述, 写介绍…).
Reason 2: I seem to always run out of time
这 typically happens because of poor time management. The first step is to create a system for staying organized (planner or virtual calendar). 我们的 academic success team members can help you organize your activities into a system that works for you!
Reason 3: I have a hard time getting started
Try the Pomodoro technique! 以下是如何做到这一点:
- Make a list of things to get done today and choose a task to work on first
- Set a timer for 25 minutes
- 工作 on the task for the set time with no distractions (no peeking at your phone either!)
- When the timer goes off, take a 5 minute break.
- Repeat this 4 times for 2 小时 of focused time! Take a longer 15-30 minute break after.
