This semester I am taking 20 credit hours! It is going to be super tough, but with a little better time management skills I think I can do it. So for this post, it's more of a we can figure this out together. My plan is to make a goal sheet for each week: hours spent on homework, nights to go out with friends, nights to go home (and get rest), hours of working out, etc. I am going to make this goal sheet and post a picture to get a better idea.
A couple things I already know are helpful with any schedule...
-Get your syllabi and write down every due date for major assignments, papers, exams, etc.
-I like to have a month calendar in the front of my binder and write all the major due dates down
-Have one place to write your to do list, homework assignments, etc.
-Finally, stay on campus as long as possible! I promise you, no matter how much you might think you can, you can not study best in your room/apartment if you have roommates. There are too many distractions and it can be too tempting. So find a place away, maybe the library is too quiet so go to a coffeeshop. Find any place that has limited distractions and by that I mean distractions directly related to you. Yes the coffeeshop may have noise, but the conversations don't involve you, the tv's or music isn't your choice so on and so forth.
Good luck with this new semester! Comment with any questions or ideas.
