Title: Planning Time to Study for Tests
Course: RITA LEARNING MODULES

One of the most difficult aspects of being a student is fitting in your studying with everything else in your life. This is why this course focuses on organizational skills, including time management. It is important both to find enough time to study and then to try to make the most effective use of your time.

Finding enough time can be a challenge—it often means giving up activities you currently enjoy or perhaps negotiating with your family and friends to pass on some of the daily chores, or to allow you some time to yourself. Nonetheless, it is surprising how much can be achieved in short five- or ten-minute slots, such as recapping previous work, sorting out paperwork, or planning future work. Having found some time, it is also worth thinking about whether this is the best time for you to study and, if not, changing it.
