Doing research for assignment12hrs Completing basic skills exam11hr Seeing tutor to ask for help230 mins Doing extra reading for class41hr Meeting friends for coffee33hrs TDL

SMART Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic/Relevant Time-related SMART objectives

Always procrastinating? Ask yourself why you are putting something off. Is there another reason behind any excuses? “I don’t really understand the topic.” “I haven’t thought about how I will structure it.” “I’m worried I’m going to fail so I’m not going to try.” What action can you take to combat these underlying reasons?

Don’t know where to start? Try making a list or brainstorming tasks. Stay away from other procrastinators! Try to work with energetic go-getters! Work back from deadlines. Break an assignment into smaller chunks setting yourself ‘mini-deadlines’. Solutions?

Are you self aware? Knowing the people and places that distract you Being assertive Being realistic about what you can achieve in a certain time Are you an early morning person or night owl? Switching off your mobile and social networking!

Do you plan effectively? Paper diary/electronic diaries/calendars Breaking down big tasks into smaller chunks or combining activities. Include study and relaxation 10 minutes study 10 minutes walking around 20 minutes study 20 minutes having cup of tea 10 minutes study

Busy, busy, busy! Maximise the time you have available in the day. Use time spent on trains, in queues etc. to run through revision notes, plan assignments, reflect on class notes. Carry a notebook with you to jot down essay ideas. Invest some time improving your notetaking and reading techniques to save time in the long run.

Busy, busy, busy! Organise notes and remember to write down bibliographical details of sources as you go. Try to combine areas of your life – if you are working, can you use a real life project as part of an assignment? Find a study space where you can concentrate on academic work without interruptions from colleagues, family or kids.

Reviewing! Flexibility – keep updating your TDL and planning Assess whether a technique has worked and whether you can change it in the future

Do you need to be in control? Recognise when you need help Trust other people’s abilities Communication and organisation in group work

Perfectionist? Don’t be afraid to make mistakes – part of the learning process. Don’t compare yourself to others – look for steady improvement.
