Tips from Students and Professors"Always carry your daily planner. Take it from a senior--if it's not
written down you might forget. Everybody needs to learn good time management
skills." "Set aside time to study each day-and set aside play time."

"If you are struggling
to get everything done and in on time, try critically examining your daily
and weekly calender. First, carefully monitor your existing use of time
with a diary and then, with a trusted, mature friend, examine your daily
and weekly calendar very carefully and critically. How many hours do you
spend on different activities? How much time is wasted? Are there time
slots between your clases that you could put to use for productive studying?
Then, draw up a new calendar for yourself. Allocate specific times and
places each day to study particular subjects and write in all of you existing
class meeting times, along with other schedualed meetings and commitments
(such as drama, music, sports, etc.) . Set up a semester-long schedule
showing all four months and write down when all written work is due and
when all tests are scheduled. It can be very helpful to see weeks ahead
of time when you will face a major crunch of deadlines and tests."
