Tips for timetabling Make a list of all academic and non-academic tasks that need to be in your day / week. Add your lecture timetable and recurring weekly events. Add major events that have to be attended – celebrations, etc. Establish what time of day when you study best. Schedule study times during the day between classes. Look to break this up into study blocks that suit your study style. (45 minutes is a usual study block with 15 minutes break). Before exam times, it is a good idea to make a study plan for evenings as well. From your course handbook, find out dates of examinations and assignment deadlines. Schedule both academic and non-academic time. Include your waking time and bedtime to establish a proper sleep routine.
