Time Management Tips for Busy College Students
Time is a limited resource. It is difficult to
balance duties at work, at home, and at school.
You always have the same 24 hours in a day to
complete tasks, spend time with family and
friends, and unwind. Youll be able to do more
and have more free time if you plan ahead and use
your time effectively.

Follow these 7 time management tips as talked of
in Jain Group of Institutions Reviews, and have
time for yourself while obtaining a college
degree.

1. Identify Time
Wasters and Set Goals
Its easy to become distracted. Pay attention to
what takes your attention away from your studies
and assignments. Are you struggling to stop
yourself from incessantly scrolling through
social media? Do you often answer phone calls
while studying? Cant you stop yourself from
surfing the internet aimlessly?

1. Identify Time
Wasters and Set Goals

• Set a goal to not indulge in that habit during
  devoted study time, regardless of what is
  squandering your time. Instead, utilize those
  activities as a reward for keeping focused and
  completing the objectives you set out to
  complete.

2. Plan ahead of
time by making a To-Do List

• Determine what you need to do and then
  prioritize the tasks based on when the
  assignment is due and how much time you have to
  complete it. This offers you a fixed plan for
  the day. Whether its just a list of priorities
  or a whole days schedule, having a plan will
  ensure that you know what to do and when.

2. Plan ahead of
time by making a To-Do List
Unless theres a compelling need, its also
crucial to assess what kind of work youre in
the mood to undertake. Do you have any
ideas? You might wish to prioritize working on a
writing task. Do you have a sense of
direction? You may spend the day studying for a
forthcoming exam.

3. Begin by
tackling small tasks

• Its easy to become overwhelmed by enormous
  assignments and tests, and the tension can cause
  you to delay. Begin with small, simpler to- do
  items and work your way up to larger projects or
  responsibilities.
• What can you complete in the quickest amount of
  time with the fewest dependencies?
• What requires more time or has more complicated
  workflows?

4. Do not juggle
between tasks

• According to a University of London study,
  people who multitask have a lower IQ than people
  who didnt sleep the night before. Youll be
  less productive if you try to manage many
  assignments and tasks. To counteract the desire
  to multitask, ask yourself
• What are your most frequent sources of
  distraction? (Email, social media, electronics,
  and so on.)
• Can you turn off the gadgets or applications?
• Turn off all devices you can. And, whatever you
  do, dont go on to another task until the one
  before it is finished. This is a difficult habit
  to break, but it is worthwhile.

10
5. Establish
Routines

• A defined regimen can also help you get things
  done. Is your house quietest in the early
  morning? You might want to make a habit of using
  that time to study or read on a regular basis.
  The more regularly you do this, the less youll
  have to worry about when youll finish the tasks
  you need to complete that day.

6. Learn to
Delegate

• While your significant other, family members or
  roommates will not be able to study for you, you
  might ask them to help out more around the house
  while you pursue your education.
• Allowing others to help with household chores
  and errands will allow you to focus on your
  studies and coursework, or to take a well-
  deserved break.

12
7. Take Some
Time Off

• Its critical to make time for oneself. Long
  study sessions or chunks of time concentrating
  on projects should be broken up with time away
  from devices or textbooks. You must relax your
  mind.

7. Take Some
Time Off
Many academics have investigated the impact of
meditation on stress-related disorders such as
back pain, irritable bowel syndrome, and
insomnia. The National Institutes of Health
compiled these findings and published them in
Meditation In-Depth, which includes one study
that says meditation improves the brains
ability to comprehend information.
