Introduction

Your time at university is a time of change. It is a particular phase of your life that you have chosen and you want to make the most of it. It is a time of opportunity, to learn, to meet people and experience new ideas and ways of doing things and to become in some way a different person at the end of it.

It can also be a pressurised time, where the core business of the university the modules and courses you take run to a particular schedule with fixed deadlines and expectations about how you fit into this established pattern. This may come naturally to you, or it may feel stressful, at least to begin with.

But no one is born good or bad at managing their time The strategies we all - photo 3

But no one is born good or bad at managing their time! The strategies we all employ to do (or avoid doing) something are habits we have developed over the years not fixed characteristics.

Time management in this book is not about what you should be doing and rigid timetables that you will never stick to. It is about finding effective ways of getting things done, putting you in control of your time and making a few small changes to achieve what you want to achieve during your time at university.

About this book

Getting it all done suggests some core strategies for getting it all done in the time you have.

Getting strategic about time is about taking control, getting informed and finding all the key information you need about your term or semester.

Planning the term or semester shows how you can use that information to plan the shape of your term or semester.

Troubleshooting Different people have different issues when it comes to time management. Dip in and out for suggestions depending on what you need.

What next ? invites you to review how you used your time in the semester just gone, and to think about any changes you might make in the future.

PART
