Make some edits
After living with your initial schedule for a while, take time to review it.
Consider:
- How you are feeling mentally and physically?
- How are you doing academically?
If something doesn’t feel quite right, make changes to your schedule to support your needs.
Common study challenges and suggestions
Procrastination
- Consider adding small specific tasks to your calendar. Checking things off as ‘done’ can help build momentum.
Forgetting things
- Consider using Google calendar and tasks to set reminders to help keep track of things.
Motivation
- Do you find it challenging to stay on task? Some people find motivation in a reward system.
- For example, if you complete your homework, reward yourself with one episode of your favorite show (no bingeing).
Preview the upcoming week
- Choose a day each week to preview what's upcoming. Add specific tasks to your schedule based on next week's priorities and deadlines.
