Sometimes, it's not all about procrastination, it's not even about being organized. Time can be one of your biggest enemies in college. But it could also be of help to you if you use it wisely. Here are some tips that could enable you use your time well.
Tackle harder Tasks first. Once you know that there are harder Tasks waiting for you, it is advised that you tackle them first so as to have enough time for them. Once you're done with them, you'll feel a great relief knowing that what's waiting is just a piece of cake.
Learn to say no. I have a personal story concerning saying no which I might not be able to share now. But the good thing is that, once I say no, you can never persuade me to say yes. This has really been helpful. Sometimes, I find myself in between reading for exams and partying with friends. But the wisest decision to make in such time is that, after exams, I'll have all the time in the world to party.
After lectures, fine time to go over it. This one has been the best thing that has happened to me as a student, procrastination is bad, sometimes not procrastination, you'd just want to rest. But after resting, open your book and go through what was being taught for the day, trust me, it takes a shorter time to understand than when you leave it for days or even weeks.
Take a break and clear your head. Sometimes, greater workload makes it difficult to grab whatever you're doing. It is advised that after each task, you cool off by maybe taking a nap, watching some TV or even chatting with friends in order to prepare yourself for the next task.
Select your priorities. There are so many things that we would want to do, but not all are important for that particular time. For instance, you have a test tomorrow and you have to cook, read, watch football, do some laundry, clean up, etc. You can cook first and then read, those are the most important things for that moment.
Working hard to play hard is a good balance. Always strike a balance between work and play. All work without play makes Jack a dull boy and vice versa.
I hope this is helpful. It has helped me through all these years. Thanks for stopping by!
