MANAGE IT ALL? Check out these tips for how to effectively manage your time as
a college student!
Get Organized
·
Keep your desk clean and your school supplies in
order
·
Buy a desk calendar or planner or use the one on
your phone
·
Put your schedule on your calendar to remember when assignments are due
Make to do lists for long-term assignments and
for every day/week
·
Try something new! Test out calendars, post-its,
and phone apps. You’ll be able to find out what works (and doesn’t work) for
you!
Prioritize
·
“Rate” your homework items based on due date and
level of difficulty
·
Set goals for both long term and short term
assignments
·
Estimate the amount of time needed to finish
each assignment. You can finish your assignments all on one sitting, or
little-by-little over a longer period of time.
·
Leave yourself plenty of time to accomplish your
tasks
Don’t overload yourself!
·
Leave time in your schedule for rest,
relaxation, sleep, eating, exercise, and your friends!
·
Take study breaks to keep yourself from being
worn out
·
Avoid procrastinating!

Know your limits. Try not to take too much on.
It’s also OK to miss a club meeting every once and a while for homework and
academic issues.
Study Smart
·
Study at your
desk or in a study room and make yourself comfortable
·
Split larger tasks into manageable chunks
·
Ask questions to your professors when you have
questions—that’s what their office hours are for!
·
Mark important assignments in your syllabus on
your calendar
·
Participate in class, arrive on time, and be
prepared to learn!
Remember Why You’re Here
·
Set goals for yourself and work to achieve them!

Know what is important to you
