Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday, March 12, at 2:00 A.M. Remember to “spring ahead” and set your clocks forward 1 hour (i.e., losing one hour).
- Use hidden time: This is time where you are waiting in the doctor's office for your appointment (15 minutes), standing in the grocery line, waiting for class to start, the half hour between classes.
- Close your eyes and visualize your math problems, an economics graph - see how the problem or graph develops step by step.
- Take out a piece of paper and write down a few terms for psychology then write down their definitions and one or two examples.
- Make your next day's to-do-list.
- Remember the key is to balance your time so give yourself time off. Schedule time just for you - use it as a reward for accomplishing the day's tasks.
- Know what you can delegate. For example, create study groups and break up the chapters for each member to outline.
- Study difficult subjects first. These subjects usually demand the most energy so it makes sense to study them when you are fresh thus efficiently using time.
- Don't schedule marathon sessions. Make sure you schedule your study time in blocks that use your time and energy efficiently. If you have sustained energy then set two hour study blocks then a break for a half an hour. If your energy swains after one hour then set one hour blocks of study time with ten minute breaks.
- Make sure your breaks are not longer than your study time!
- Always have water with you when you study. It is essential to keep hydrated so you stay alert.
