My big goal for this year is to manage my time better! <\/strong>Like most students, I\u2019m so busy with assignments and other commitments that it can be a bit chaotic to try and get everything done on time. It\u2019s not unusual for me to work well into the evening, which isn\u2019t exactly the best study habit to have. Time management <\/strong>is a big source of problems for a lot of students so here\u2019s a quick post to share how I\u2019m going about sticking to my study resolution this year<\/strong>. These strategies aren\u2019t just specific to my goals though, whatever your study goals are, hopefully these points will help you in setting and sticking to your aims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.       Break it down<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a big goal is great but wanting to \u2018have better time management\u2019 isn\u2019t very specific. It\u2019s good to have idea of what you\u2019re going to do to reach that goal. For me, that means setting rules such as \u2018no working past 10pm.\u2019 It\u2019s much easier to stick to a New Year\u2019s resolution when you know exactly what you need to do<\/strong>, not just what you want as an end result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.       Give yourself a time frame<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year is a long time, it can be easy to put things off or lose steam when the goal is so far away so it\u2019s a good idea to give yourself smaller deadlines<\/strong> that are more manageable. I like to set quarterly goals<\/strong> every three months because that time frame is short enough that I\u2019ll stick to it but long enough to get a substantial amount done. What works for you will depend on your preferences, so think it through and choose what is best for you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.       Work with friends<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you and a friend both want to improve your timekeeping, why not get together (virtually) and make study timetables together<\/strong>? Keeping each other on track is a great way to stick to your plans and make it more fun<\/strong>. Even if your goals are different, just sharing them can help you stay motivated<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.       Don\u2019t overwhelm yourself at the start of the year<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be easy to get carried away with everything you want to do and end up with a mile-long list of goals for the year, but that might not be the best approach. This is a marathon, not a sprint<\/strong>. It\u2019s probably best just to pick a few goals to work at steadily<\/strong> rather than burning yourself out within a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.       Come to a UniSkills session<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start the way you mean to go on by booking on to one of our brand new UniSkills webinars!<\/a> The Spring programme will be available for you to book on soon and covers a wide range of subjects including academic writing, being critical, Harvard referencing, searching for academic information and much, much more.<\/strong> You can also book a 1-2-1 appointment<\/a> for more tailored support with our knowledgeable Academic Skills Advisors<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow us on Twitter<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> for updates about what we\u2019re doing in the Library and Learning Services department and how we can support you throughout the year. And while you\u2019re here, let us know in the comments what your #NewYearNewUniSkills<\/a> study resolutions are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
