- TIME
What time of the day do
you function best? Don’t plan all your work during your lowest performance
times. Are you a night owl or an early bird?
-
Optimize Your Environment
Find
an area you study best. Do you like to study alone? With people around you? With
background music? With Clutter. Experiment and see what works for you!
- Avoid Interruptions
Close your
door. Turn off your phone. Find a place to work where you can’t be disturbed.
- Use “To Do” lists and monthly and weekly
calendars* Check off completed tasks*
- Establish specific and realistic goals
- Set priorities: Rank order by
importance and difficulty.
- Divide big jobs into workable steps:
break each task down to do each subtask at a time.>
- Develop alternatives: be
flexible enough to switch tasks when necessary
- Make realistic time estimates:
allow more time than you think you need for a job
- Give yourself a deadline: make
things happen. Use a deadline to help pace yourself.
- Do one task at a time: focus
completely on what you are doing. Don’t get distracted. If you are or do MOVE.
- Finish each task fully: prevents
procrastination and lost time.
- Do it now!: why put off tomorrow
what you can do now? Do you spend more time worrying than actually doing? You
will feel great when’s it’s done.
- Reward yourself-VERY important.
Make the reward the same size as the task.
