Here are some quick time management tips using either an “old-fashioned”
kitchen timer or the timer on your phone:
- If you are going to study, read or review for a short period of time, set the timer for the allotted time instead of constantly checking the clock to see how much time you have left. This way your brain is free to concentrate on the material instead of always calculating how much more time you have.
- If you are having trouble studying a subject you do not like, set the timer for 20 minutes and only study for that length of time. You can stand anything for 20 minutes. And tomorrow – do another 20 minutes!
- If you are having trouble maintaining your focus or concentration, set the timer for 5 or 10 minutes and work for that time period. Take a short break and then go for another 5 or 10 minutes. After a day or two, lengthen the time by a few minutes. Keep lengthening the time until you have trained your brain to stay focused for a longer period of time.
Good luck!
