Building on earlier\u00a0tips for time management\u00a0including making a schedule, taking advantage of small chunks of time, and studying\u00a0smarter, we have included more advice below to help keep yourself on track this school year.<\/p>\n
Go Digital:<\/strong>\u00a0To keep up in today\u2019s increasingly digital landscape, most educational resources include a digital component. These digital extensions feature tools and resources to maximize student success and engagement. However, many students are either unaware they have access to these digital tools or underestimate the impact these tools can have on academic performance. Many digital tools, such as Cengage Learning\u2019s digital learning solution\u00a0MindTap, use a combination of reading, multimedia, activities and assessments, to engage users and maximize understanding and retention. MindTap also includes features like scheduling, notifications and messaging to help you stay organized and on top of upcoming deadlines. Take advantage of the digital resources available to you \u2013 and activate (and use!) them early in the semester, rather than waiting until crunch time.\u00a0Studies show, students that use MindTap get better grades than those that do not.<\/p>\n Prioritize:<\/strong>\u00a0The first step to time management is taking stock of all the different activities, commitments and responsibilities that make up day-to-day life. Taking an honest look at the big picture is essential to identifying priorities and possibly cutting unnecessary or superfluous activities out temporarily. From there, you can more easily identify the priorities that are most important and make sure they take precedent over less pressing commitments.<\/p>\n Get Organized:<\/strong>\u00a0Organization is key to successful time management and being organized also helps to avoid unexpected interruption. Before settling down to study, be sure you have all the resources and tools you need to complete the assignments you will be working on. There is no greater nuisance to hitting a stride only to realize a missing textbook or forgotten computer charger.<\/p>\n Schedule in Fun Time:<\/strong>\u00a0Time management does not equal all work and no play. Actually, students who effectively manage their time tend to have\u00a0more\u00a0time for socializing and fun since they aren\u2019t wasting precious time procrastinating or being unproductive. Making sure to schedule some free time each week is not only important to overall happiness but is also key to maintaining high levels of productivity.<\/p>\n The start of the semester is a great opportunity to give a fresh boost to your study routine. Tackling the time management sinkhole is one of the best ways to kick your academic performance into high gear.\u00a0 By taking advantage of even a few of our time management tips, you can streamline your study habits and maximize your classroom potential.
