Managing your time is a VERY important part of becoming a good student. For each study period, you should decide what you want to accomplish and how long you are going to spend on each subject or assignment. You should also set some deadlines and stick to them. And don’t forget to schedule in some “rewards” – short breaks during your study period and a fun activity for when you’re finished.
Pick a night when you have a lot of studying to do, and use this chart to help you manage your time:
Subject: ______________________________ Time frame: From _____________ to __________________
Task: ________________________________________________________________________________
Break at: _________________________________________ (No more than five minutes, then back at it!!!)
Subject: ______________________________ Time frame: From _____________ to __________________
