Tips 1-4

Organizing your life

Managing your time well is an important element of success—especially if you’re a student. If you set priorities that fit your needs and life style, you’ll have a better chance of achieving your goals. Here are some tips for taking control of your time and organizing your life.

Tip 1. Make a to-do-list every day.

Put things that are most important at the top and do them first. And don’t forget to reward yourself for your accomplishments.  Tip 2. Use spare minutes wisely.

When you are commuting on a bus or train, use you time to get some reading done.

Tip 3. It’s ok to say no.

If your friends ask you to go to a movie on a Thursday night and you have an exam the next morning, realize that it’s ok to say no. keep your short-and long term priorities in mind.

Tip 4. Find the right time.

You’ll work more efficiently if you figure out when you do your best work. For example, if your brain handles math better in the afternoon, don’t wait to do it until late at night.

Sarah’s Academic Success Story

Part 1

Time management became a key factor in my study skills for college. In high school, there where time I was able to study for an hour or two the night before a test and get away with it. This is not the case in college. I made sure in college I was prepared for each class. Sometimes that meant writing out the terms for the chapter we read (even if when it isn’t required) to better understand them. That way when the midterm or test comes around I was able to understand what I was studying. I started excellent notes in class in college. I may have done this in high school, but in college I started typing up notes after class. This helped me remember what I just went over in class then when I had a test one week later I was more likely to remember then as well.

My overall study method: structured. One thing I learned was I had to adapt or charge my study methods according to the class. I couldn’t study for a religion class the same way I studied for a finance class. But make sure I had enough time to study for each class—even if it meant carrying a planner with me at all times was a big part of my success.
