Realistic timeframes
You need to develop a realistic sense of what can be achieved in a specific amount of time. Take note of how long it takes you to do typical tasks:
- reading through lecture notes
- looking for books in the library
- reading a ten page journal article
- drafting a 1,500 word assignment
- proof-reading a 3,000 word essay.
Don't waste your energy trying to force a task into an unrealistic amount of time. With practice you will be able to judge the time you need to get specific things done.
