Sadly, I feel that my time managements been cracked. I don't use timetables anymore (i don't know why), nor do i use a diary now...(dont know why also).There's so much stress. Doubt then exhileration...and vice versa...again....and again....it moves in a circle.

Learn to say no. But only to 1, 3 and 4. Possibly 5 if you are nocturnal like me.

If anyone can find a solution to managing time efficiently that involves minimal effort, please let me know! I, for every lot of exams, try and make a timetable but it never works cos some stuff takes longer and others take less time and somehow I get so very distracted. I have a monthly diary thing so I can see a whole month at a time and just put all my assessments and tests on it. The rest I just remember and make sure it's done by the time it's due or needed by. In spare time I just read related texts and textbooks and do revision/study notes.

This is my advice and it is conveniently written in another language so no one can read it: Yewnkfjdn jkbncywruiof. Yep - my philosophy can be summed up by those delightful words.

PS - it means I have absolutely no damn idea about time management

Haha, I've just given up on timetables and stuff. I study either when I feel motivated, feel I should, or absolutely need to. Seems to work okay. When I'm motivated I get a lot more done, anyway.

Yeah - it's like with assignments I know the due date's in 2 weeks so I start researching but it takes me forever because I know it isn't due for ages. However, if I get up at 2am and only have 5 hours to complete it I find I work a lot more efficiently, suprisingly! And even then I still get distracted, hence being on this site *tries to work: unsuccessful*

Yup. I'm feeling exactly like that with my Software Project. Hopefully future me will do some tonight, or tomorrow me will think of past me as absolutely useless.

I don't tend to do research for most assessments at all :eek:

I'm not sure. My mum decided to clean up the office today, so now I have no idea where anything is...

I'm still not sure what I'm going to do for it either, in case you wanted me to undermine your confidence a little more. :p
