time management 101

1. get work done asap. this seems obvious, but if you do your work right after school/class, you’ll be able to relax afterwards knowing you’ve done everything you need to do.

2. just start. getting started is the hardest part of studying. force yourself to start and you’ll likely end up getting a lot done!!

3. use google calendar (or a program like it). google calendar allows you to not only schedule your day down to the minute, but you can access it on any device!

4. schedule time for fun. if you schedule every second of your day with work, you will either get distracted or burn yourself out. scheduling in an hour or two of something you enjoy every day will help you be productive in the long run!

5. go somewhere to study. for me, when i study at home, i’m much more likely to get distracted and take much more time than necessary than if i go somewhere with the intention to study.

6. make a list. when you’re busy or stressed, you’re likely to overestimate your workload. writing it all down will help you understand the amount you actually have and help you estimate how long it’ll take.

7. do tasks in order of importance. that way, if you don’t finish it all, the assignments you don’t get to in time are the least important ones. 

8. try to get quizlet sets/study guides from a friend. this will save at least an hour of your time!

9. watch youtube videos. if you are running out of time, whip out a crash course video and get a quick summary of the topic. it’s better than nothing!

10. stay calm. you’ll never get anything done if you’re too busy worrying about it! try to relax before starting your work, everything will be fine.

as always, thanks for reading! x

hi everybody! during my freshman year of college, i experienced burnout countless times, and you likely will, too. thankfully, burnout is usually avoidable! here are my tips on avoiding it!! xx

1. go to bed at a decent time! i can’t express enough how important sleep is. if you are physically or mentally exhausted, you’re going to burn out way more quickly. having a steady sleep schedule is the most important thing to do to avoid burnout!!

2. make time for yourself! don’t study all the time- spend time practicing self-care and doing things you enjoy. it’ll pay off in the long run!

3. space everything out! don’t schedule all of your meetings and responsibilities in one or two days. tackle just a couple of things a day! this one may seem a little obvious, but i constantly see students over working themselves because they try to procrastinate doing everything until the last minute and have to do it all in one day.

4. divide and conquer! this sort of goes along with #3, but don’t cram everything you need to study into one night! divide up the topics covered on the exam/quiz and study one or two groups of topics a night!

5. give yourself a day off! this may be difficult to maintain, but do your best to work your schedule to give yourself one day off a week. for me, over the school year, my scheduled weekly day off was sunday. i did my best to do all my weekend homework on friday and saturday so that i could relax on sunday without a stack of responsibilities on my mind!

6. seek help if you need it! most (if not every) colleges have an on-campus psychologist. if you’re having a lot of trouble balancing all your responsibilities and managing your stress, seeing a psychologist may help! on-campus psychologists are experienced trained specifically to help students, so they will undoubtedly have tips to deal with everything. there is no shame in seeking help! if you’re in high school or middle school, you could see your guidance counselor!

7. love the work you do! find value in all of your assignments and notes. this will make them look less like assignments and more like learning experiences!

thanks for reading! if you have any questions or need someone to talk to, feel free to message me! xx

early sunday morning spent frustrating over this thesis plan. it has become quite the puzzle and the only thing that can help is caffeine.
