Pocrastination to productivity: effective Time management

The difference between procrastination and productivity is the absence of effective time management.

1. Start with a schedule

The best tip ever

Creating a schedule is one of the most effective ways to manage your time when studying. It helps you plan your day and allocate time for studying, assignments, and other activities.

2. Prioritize tasks

Key to good time management

Prioritizing tasks is essential for effective time management. Make a list of all the tasks you need to complete and prioritize them based on importance and urgency.

3. Break tasks into smaller pieces

Break down the larger tasks into manageable chunks

Breaking down complex tasks into smaller pieces can make them more manageable and less intimidating. This also helps you track your progress and stay motivated.

4. Use a timer

A timer can be a life-saving tool

Using a timer is a useful tool for managing your time. Set a timer for a specific amount of time and work on a task until the timer goes off. This technique helps you stay focused and avoid distractions.

5. No multitasking

Multitasking may seem like a time-saver, but it can actually decrease productivity. Focus on one task at a time to maximize your efficiency and achieve better results.

10. Be kind to yourself

In this negativity-filled world we forget to be nice to us
