  2. Time sponges “My top tip for time management is get yourself to the library because in your own flat you can make endless cups of tea or go on Facebook and at the library you are just far less distracted and more productive.” Rachel, 3rd year, History Talking 'Eds (Undergraduate) https://v3.pebblepad.co.uk/v3portfolio/pebble/Asset/View/Gfd459qRgq3p8xpjdxfwwcZGcw

  3. The time sponge: Things you do instead of working • Take a card and write a note of your biggest time sponge on the top half. • Pass it on to your left. • Read someone else’s note and write a possible solution on the bottom half. • Pass the note on again. • In your small group share the sponges and the solutions. Adapted from: Burns, T. and Sinfield, S. (2012) Essential Study Skills: The complete guide to success at university. 3rd ed. SAGE Study Skills series, London, pp74-75.

  4. Go around one more time:Things you do to refocus • What works for you when you find you are losing concentration? • Share your experience in your small group and compile these tips on sticky notes. • Post these notes for everyone to read later before they leave. Adapted from: Burns, T. and Sinfield, S. (2012) Essential Study Skills: The complete guide to success at university. 3rd ed. SAGE Study Skills series, London, pp74-75.
