Manage Your Time Well
Presented by Annie Jones, TRiO

2. Don’t Overextend Yourself
Be realistic in expectations of yourself
If it seems like too much, it probably is
Make changes as necessary to make your life more manageable

3. Being organized… saves time in the long-run
takes the guess work out of what you have to accomplish
requires a day planner or calendar to keep track of deadlines & assignments

4. Schedule Blocks of Time for Studying
Not too much, not too little
Focus, focus, focus
Schedule study blocks like a standing appointment that you must keep

5. Make Efficient Use of Your Time
How would you like to use your time for school, home, work, leisure?
Prioritize and schedule - use that planner or calendar
Be efficient with your time
Combine tasks -> laundry + reading
Don’t waste “chunks of time”

6. Learn To Say “No” You are human and you have limits
Too much on your plate can distract you from academics
Honoring your own limits is not selfish or rude

7. Make “To Do” Lists and Prioritize
Free up your head space -- get it all down on paper
Re-order the list by priority
Cross off things you’ve done -- it’s VERY rewarding to see that you’re making progress!

8. Remember, we’re here to support you…
