MANAGING TIME FOR SUCCESS IN COLLEGE



Have a minute for timely advice?

By EducationQuest Foundation

Many college students will tell you that a lack of structure and poor time management nearly led to their demise during their freshman year. Heed their warning and follow their “timely” advice:

Go to class! It’s better to hear class information first-hand rather than trying to track down lecture notes later.

Use a planner every day. Schedule time for classes, work, studying – even socializing and exercising.

Use the class syllabus to plan your workload. Divide large projects into manageable chunks and create shorter-term deadlines. You likely won’t be reminded about assignment deadlines like you were in high school.

Study in blocks of time. Plan ahead with blocks of study time separated by brief periods to rest and clear your head.

Use the time in-between classes to review for a test, copy notes from a previous class, catch up on textbook reading, conduct research, or do other homework.

Learn to say “no” to activities that will interfere with you achieving your long-term goals.
