Time management tips 1
Know your ‘time eaters’ or ‘time
wasters’ – these are slightly
different, so know which is which
for YOU
Prioritization – urgent vs important,
effort vs value, the jar metaphor
Planning the
day/week/month/term/year!
Establish flexible routines
• Life is too busy to remember it all – use to do
lists
• WHEN you plan will depend on your
personality, but consistency is key
• Don’t forget the big picture & SMART goals
Limit distractions – this includes
learning to say no & delegate
Jumping straight in – start the
assignment on the day it is handed
out
Quality over quantity – get it right
the first time
Time management tips 2
Organisation – physically & mentally, preparation is key
Break it down – big tasks need to be made into steps,
little wins, less pressure!
Are you going to break it down into ‘tasks’ or ‘time chunks’?
Taking rests – SO important, but don’t let them derail you e.g. phone free breaks, mental health days
Self-reflection – needs to happen regularly so you know where/when issues arise, but to also stay positive
Self-care – integral to this whole thing, you need sleep, exercise & nutritious food before anything else
Motivation – sometimes it needs to be external, like a reward! Find what works for you, maybe get someone else to
hold you accountable
