Learn How to Time Manage Yourself

Plan a schedule of balance activities
Make a time table of yourself.
Always include: sleep, rest, play, eat, bath, work, classes, recreation, relaxation, and personal affairs. It is definitely not ok to compact your time table with lots of thing, it will not last long.

Study at a regular time and place
Studying is just like eating, set a time, so that our brain will know that everyday, at this certain time is the time to study. After long period of time, this daily routine will become a habit.

Study as soon after lecture
Scientist shows that study after lecture will develop a deeper understanding towards the subject and stays in mind for a longer period of time.

Utilize odd hours during the day of study
During break time, do not spend your time gossiping around, or go nearby Internet Cafe for a round of “DOTA”. Utilize time wisely, read some notes and get ready for the next lecture.

Develop time blocks
It depends on the students. How long does u need to take to become restless?
How long can you concentrate on a certain subject.
Learn to take break during studies.


Trade time, don’t steal it
If u felt that you had played for a long period of time, find time to make up the study missed and adjust your schedule for the week. Make sure that you do not steal time. Trade them.

List out “to do list” according to priorities
Write down things you have to do, then decide what to do at the moment, what to schedule for later, what to get someone else to do, and what to put off for a later time period. This will help you to do the important things first.

Start long jobs ahead of time
Make sure that you get in the habit of beginning with the most difficult subject or task such as assignment.

Read lecturer notes before hand
Glance through the headings, synopsis, and titles before reading for details. Try to read like reading story books. Do not stress yourself when reading lecture notes. It will not help.
