  1. Time Management

  2. Study Time • Students who spend more hours studying.. • Liked and stayed in college • Improved their thinking skills • Graduated with honors • Got into graduate school • How much do you need? • 2-3 hours outside study for every class hour for average grades. More for high grades.

  3. Studying is Your Job Think of college as a Monday-Friday, 9-5 job; show up on campus at 9 and don't leave until 5 (some students register for both early and late classes just so that they will be forced to stay on campus). Use evenings and weekends for part-time jobs and family chores. Of course, you will also need to do some studying during the evenings and weekends, but do most of your studying 9 to 5.

  4. Swiss Cheese • Small 10 –15 minute bursts of activities • Walking between classes • Washing clothes • Working out

  5. Set Time • Making a set period of time available for studying certain subjects each week. • Get paid to study • Long drives - tapes

  6. Study Tips • Study in the daylight • Natural light is more conducive to study • Don’t study more than 2 hours straight • 30-3-2 schedule • 30 minutes study • 3 minute break • 2 minute review • Do the homework for your most difficult course first.

  7. Prioritize • Make up your to-do list before bed or first thing in the morning • Estimate time required for each task • Try to do top priority things first • Try to get them done in the morning • Keep your priorities in focus • Challenge yourself to finish the list that day

  8. Organize the Task • Major paper in English in three weeks • Day 1: Go to the library, survey topics • Day 2: Narrow topics • Day 3: Select topic • Day 4: Construct outline • Day 5: Write first two pages • …….

  9. Dealing with Distractions • Learn to say NO • Turn off the phone • Hang a DO NOT DISTURB sign on your door

  10. Procrastination • Ignore the task, hoping it will go away • Underestimating the work involved or overestimating your ability and resources • Deceiving yourself that mediocre performance is acceptable • Substituting a worthy but lower-priority nonacademic activity

  11. Procrastination • Believing that repeated “minor” delays won’t hurt you • Dramatizing a commitment rather than doing it • Persevering on only part of the task • Becoming paralyzed when you have to choose between two alternatives

  12. I'm not in the mood right now. Mood doesn't do my work, actions do. If I wait for the right mood, I may never get it done. Confronting your Excuses • I'm just lazy. • Labeling myself as lazy only brings me down. My work is really separate from who I am as a person. Getting started is the key to finishing.

  13. Tackling Procrastination • Set a deadline and put it on your calendar • Become better organized • Make a game of it • Tell Everyone • Divide the task into smaller jobs • Set subgoals • Build in a reward for yourself
