Set aside certain times during the week to focus on studying and stick to that schedule. If you have an extra hour between classes each week, use that to work on assignments and review notes from previous lectures. If the rest of your day is booked with class, meetings and clubs, why let those extra minutes become dead time when you can try and get ahead in your studies? By the end of the week, those spare moments will have added up.
A calendar can also be used to mark important deadlines. Whether it’s paper or electronic, an updated planner can be one of the most important things in an honors student’s tool belt. Keeping important details all in one place also makes it quicker and easier to reference your schedule throughout the day and prioritize the tasks that are due first.
