Whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student, it is important to use time management strategies to support your academic success. Each time you receive your course schedule for the upcoming semester, you should identify blocks of time that you can use to study and complete assignments. If you are a graduate student, examine your schedule to find stretches of time that you can use for your academic obligations.
Many students and professionals alike struggle with procrastination. It may help to adjust your mindset. For instance, people often set goals for completing an assignment within a set period of time. Instead, decide how much time you must devote to that assignment right now. Set your timer and work until that block of time is over. This is known as the Pomodoro technique, and it can be effective for helping you get started on assignments despite a tendency to procrastinate.
