Manage your time

Create a Schedule

Calendar

You will increase your efficiency in writing academic papers if you create a time schedule with deadlines for each step:

  • research
  • read and take notes
  • outline/organize information
  • write the first draft
  • revise for completeness, conciseness and clarity
  • edit and proofread

Make sure you start earlier, rather than later, and give yourself plenty of time for each step.
