Effective Time Management

In university, you are required to not only attend lectures and tutorials, but to spend time completing your readings before class to prepare and studying after class to get ready for tests and assignments. When you combine your academic workload with the time you need to spend on your own well-being and juggling your responsibilities at home, it can be very overwhelming!

Time Management is a one of the best ways you can be successful in university! Developing effective time management skills can improve your grades, help manage your stress, and balance your goals with your personal life.

It is important to remember that time management is a LEARNED skill, it is not something you are born with. Allow yourself time to learn how you learn best, how much time you need to complete tasks, and how much time you need to relax to give your body and mind energy to study.

Being productive doesn't mean being busy all the time. By developing strong time management skills, you will learn how to balance your academic life with your down time and still succeed in meeting your goals.
