Improve your time management skills

Time management involves more than getting to class and handing in assignments on time. Successful time management includes understanding how long a task will take and the steps involved in getting that job/task done. It is also important to take into account non-academic responsibilities and activities (e.g. jobs, friends, illness, fun, distractions). Keeping these factors in mind you will be able to use your time effectively, understand yourself, and keep the end-point in sight (goal setting).

This section on time management contains information and resources on long and short-term planning, task and time analysis and goal setting. These resources can be used not only for managing your academic time, but also other aspects of your life, including employment, family and leisure. You will find usable printouts on how to plan your term, week and day, information on how to assess your available time, break assignments into smaller tasks, and develop useful and do-able goals.
