Get organised

Organising yourself and your study space will make it easier to finish your tasks on time and not feel overwhelmed.

Organise yourself

• Create a study space that is free of distractions and has everything within reach.
• Keep a calendar on your wall and list the dates of your assessments.
• Get into a routine and set aside blocks of study time each day.
• Build 'free' time into each day for something you enjoy.
• Take regular breaks and move around to keep your mind and body healthy.
• Limit distractions such as social media.
• Allocate time each week to catch up with friends and family.

Organise your work

• Understand the correct way to approach assessment and maintain good academic habits.
• Look at the components of each task and how long they might take.
• Make a plan and allow for unexpected events such as technology issues (they will always happen!) or changes in personal circumstances.
• Divide each assessment task into smaller 30-minute tasks (essay plan, essay introduction, essay body, etc.) and slot these into your calendar.
