How's your time management going? (3 Viewers)

[googled]

Hi guys,

I'm starting to get a bit pissed off with my subjects, I think partially because of having a study timetable.

I was wandering if any of you actually have a timetable which is working. Having a timetable just seems to make me feel overwhelmed and I tend not to follow it, although without a timetable I seemed to be happier and studying more.

So what are you doing to manage your study time? Do you have regular sessions or just study when you feel like it?

This is only year 11 and I don't want to be 'burnt out'.

Do you use MSN?


I uninstalled MSN last week...
I lasted 3 days then installed it again lol


If you could permanently uninstall it, I suggest you do

I don't have a study timetable, I just find that I will break it so many times it becomes useless. Rather, I just study whenever I feel like it in one go, around 3 or 4 hours every week or so.

I don't IM anymore, haven't all year. Giving it up is one of the best things I ever did.

Having a study timetables can sometimes be a hiderance more then help, especially in year 11. If you need that freedom to study maybe before you start write down a list of what you want to achieve and how much time you are going to spend, works for me.

IMing can be constructive but as we all know it can also be destructive.

i don't have a timetable. i don't want to feel that studying is a 'must' or else i'll just get tired of it. i study when i have to. meaning, i feel more comfortable with making a timetable for myself just before exams.

Thanks everyone for your posts. So I guess I will just see how things go. Although, I do want to do well and I guess it is just a matter of keeping balance.

i find it best not to use the computer at all whilst i am studying. Its also best to find a place away from most distractions, particularly technological distractions, eg fone, internet, tv.

as for study timetables, it works for some and for some it doesnt. Depends whether you are good at following things. I tried it once. Didnt last a day. its best to try and keep urself in mindset that 'if i really want good marks, i MUST study'. try not to burn urself out tho. rewarding yourself after good amounts of study can help.

My time management looks pretty bad right now, that has to be improved

That's pretty much my situation.

i list and prioritise all homework, and study, the stuff that needs to be done first and all that, it seems to be working so far, and im maintaining a relatively good mark in next to all of my subjects.

but in the end everyone has their own weaknesses and strengths, you just have to find what suits you best and run with it

I procrastinate too much.

Looks like someone needs to work on their time management.
