Time Management at end of semester

 

FOUR strategies:

 

• mentally multi-task, esp. for annotated bib responses. Take strategic notes as you read (use check-lists).  

 

• commit to disciplined TIME blocks, not page count, so long as you're working w/o distraction. If you come up short on page count, re-block future schedule. Another advantage to working time blocks is that, not often but sometimes, you will produce more than minimum goal. Two possible blocking methods:
• map out work sessions (for all courses/responsibilities), then reward met goals.
• OR, map out down-time, and plan how to earn them in advance (don't work under down-time debt/catch-up). 

 

• In final semester stretch, make inessential social/leisure sacrifices

 

 

• go back to early-semester in-class WRITING HABITS reflection... look to those variables that might need changing.
