3. 10 time management strategies for mature age univ
students
Time management is increasingly challenging for adult learners
who juggle different priorities in life such as academic studies,
work, and family. Time management plays an important role for
university students, because the ability to prioritise is the key to
maintaining a harmonious and balanced lifestyle. Good time
management brings plentiful benefits that will make things
easier for you, your friends, and family.
4. Here are ten time management strategies:
Write a “to-do” list
A “to-do” list serves as a reminder of the important tasks that you need to
prioritise. Tackle the most important tasks first. You should post the list in a
prominent place with easy access such as on a bulletin board, refrigerator,
calendar, mirror, Post-It notes, or on your electronic device.
Prioritise your work constantly
Decide what important task is to be done first. The use of a weekly planner
can help remind you of your short-term goals such as reviewing lectures and
studying for exams. The planner can also help organise your non-academic
tasks that you need to accomplish so you can have a clear picture of what your
day/week is going to be like. A yearly planner helps you plan your work over a
semester and prepares you months ahead for important deadlines and
upcoming events.
5. Here are ten time management strategies:
Find a dedicated study space and time
Determine a place to study where it is free of distraction from friends, family
members, or hobbies. Fight the urge to use your cell phone or engage in text
messaging and social networking. And if your designated space is occupied,
plan a change of venue such as the library or the local coffee shop.
Budget your time to make the most of it
Creating a weekly schedule will help you determine how much time you
spend on your daily/weekly academic and non-academic activities, and how
much extra time you have before adding any additional commitments.
Include some time in your schedule for relaxation to clear your mind.
6. Here are ten time management strategies:
Work out your optimum study method
Determine the best time and situations for you to study and work
efficiently. Whether studying at home with music as a background or
quietly in the library, knowing your study preference will make you an
efficient and effective student.
Be realistic about the time you spend studying
Academic work takes a lot of time to do - researching, taking notes,
writing reports, and doing assignments. Put extra time into thinking,
analysing, and understanding your work, but try not to be a
perfectionist. Be realistic about the time you will spend on each task.
7. Here are ten time management strategies:
Focus on long-term goals
Set your sights on where you want to be and what you hope to
accomplish by establishing specific, measurable, and realistic goals.
Prioritising and scheduling time to complete your immediate and short-
term goals will lead you to the successful accomplishment of your long-
term goals.
Solicit help when you need it
Let family members know your study schedule and don’t hesitate to
seek help. If family members understand and support your academic
goals, tackling college life will be easier for you.
8. Here are ten time management strategies:
Don’t be afraid to say “No”
Saying no is sometimes difficult to do. However, if you need to study for
an exam or finish an assignment, you have to learn how to say no.
Decline politely and be clear with your reason. Negotiate a time when
you are free to comply with the request or to socialise with your
friends.
Review your notes regularly
Review your notes before classes to refresh your memory of the topics
previously discussed. After the class, re-write or make additional notes
that you missed. Reviewing your notes will help you prepare for the
next class and to think of questions you may ask for clarification.
9. Managing your time
In an environment where nobody will tell you precisely
what you should be doing and when, the art of
planning, managing and meeting personal deadlines –
both social and academic – must be mastered sooner
rather than later.
