What are everyones methods for time management and writing essays, or doing assessment close to the due date?
I've always tried to keep a diary but I always lose it or never update it.
My two best methods are a white board and library. I have a white board in my room basically solely for due dates being written in big letter. Occasionally I put my essay question up there too. Whenever I see it I know whats coming up and what I have to do.
My most recent discovery was the library. I always knew it was here, but I got to the point that I would just curl up on my bed and 'do' my assignments. They never got done, so I told myself I would go and sit in front of my computer everyday in the library until things were done. Now I treat the school day like a whole day. Like if I only have once class at 11am I come around 9am and don't leave until four or five, although last night I didn't leave until 11pm. I'm here now avoiding my work, but I still get lots more done.
When I write I also don't edit. I just type lots of bad grammar and non sense paragraphs. When I got back and edit I can really define it, but it helps to have a base. My friend has to edit everything as he writes though, so its different for each person.
Does anyone have any methods that could help people coming into their first assessment heavy times?
