The activity
|Breaking bad habits: what do you need to change? |
|Working in pairs: |
|Write the things that stop you from managing time effectively on your worksheet |
|Choose one to share with your partner. Discuss possible ways to overcome or avoid this problem. |
|Share this with the rest of the group. If you hear other strategies that are appropriate for you, add them to your worksheet. |
Tips
This activity is directed at discouraging the notion that bad time management is an intrinsic quality, and showing that it is just a set of bad habits that can be broken. Our research showed that students prioritise advice from their peers; however, this can sometimes make matters worse. Getting students to share their proposed strategies with the whole class offers the presenter a chance to comment.
The worksheet for this activity can be found on the next page.

Good time management isn’t a personality trait – it’s a set of good habits. Identify your bad habits and work out how to change them.
Working in pairs:
• Write the things that stop you from managing time effectively in the left-hand column – leave the other column empty for now
• Choose one thing to share with your partner. Discuss possible ways to overcome or avoid this problem. Add anything that you think will be useful to the right-hand column.
• Share this with the rest of the group. If you hear other strategies that are appropriate for you, add them to your worksheet.
