  18. Breaking up time • Identify fixed commitments (e.g. meetings, deadlines) • Can you break down any large tasks into smaller, more-manageable steps? • Decide on the best time for each task/step • Don’t let everything pile up, look at the big picture and leave enough time to complete a task

  20. Planning really works • Research has consistently shown that even short-range planning results in significantly higher achievements in the workplace. • Use the opportunity as a course rep to experiment with and develop your own style of effective planning.
