Time Management: The Key to Academic SuccessBeing able to manage time well is an important skill for achieving success in many contexts, but when it comes to studying, it is essential. Students must know how to balance studying against other areas competing for attention such as friends, work, and family.
Time management begins with becoming aware of where time is being spent and scheduling life accordingly. With strong time management skills, students can set boundaries to organize, prioritize, and succeed academically. Below are the four basic rules of time management.
Get OrganizedGetting organized includes determining how you are currently using your time and then setting priorities. It’s also important to choose planning tools to organize tasks and accomplish goals. Set a ScheduleCreate a daily, weekly, or semester schedule outlining tasks to accomplish. A semester schedule should have general goals while weekly and daily schedules should be more specific. Be a Project ManagerIt’s important to keep a mindset that life is your “project” and you are in charge of its success. Stop ProcrastinatingLearn why you procrastinate and how to change it by eliminating external time wasters. Field Guide to Procrastinators.
Focus on the task at hand rather than intrusive thoughts. Push through anxiety by working on a little bit each day. Ask for help creating a realistic timeline. Dopamine has a direct correlation to motivation, and its job is to encourage us to act. Lower levels of dopamine cause people to look for the easy way out while high levels of dopamine motivate people to work for intrinsic and extrinsic rewards.
Test anxiety and preoccupation with performance have been identified as the greatest sources for negative performance. Learning proper study skills and test-taking strategies have shown to reduce anxiety. Ask for help defining realistic expectations. Reward yourself for reaching mini-goals along the way. Seek emotional support when you put too much pressure on yourself. In a 2009 study, Vanderbilt scientists mapped brains of achievers and procrastinators. Those willing to work diligently for rewards had higher levels of dopamine in the striatum and prefrontal cortex—areas known to impact motivation.
College students who wrote down goals accomplished significantly more than those who did not in a 2015 study. Set your own deadlines in order to create a natural adrenaline rush and complete tasks before they are really due. Rather than relying on stress figure out other potential motivators that work for you. Engage in leisure activities that give you an adrenaline rush. In a 2006 study, girls had higher levels of self-discipline than boys and displayed 5%-20% more self-control. Girls also earned higher grades than the boys. A 1997 study at Case Western Reserve University found that students who procrastinated had lower levels of stress initially than other students.
However, the negative effects of procrastination outweighed the initial benefits as the students who put off assignments earned lower grades and reported higher cumulative amounts of illness and stress. Add “downtime” to your to-do list. Practice saying no when it’s appropriate to do so. Prioritize your to-do list on a regular basis.
In a 1995 study, researchers found self-discipline to be the only one of 32 measured personality variables to predict college GPA more accurately than SAT scores. A 2004 study of undergraduates found students with the highest levels of self-discipline self-reported higher grades and a broader variety of personal and interpersonal strengths.Time Management Resources.

From the Expert: Amy D’Aprix, MSW, PhD, CSA. Yes, time management was an issue when teaching college students and I used a combination of strategies to address it. The amount of reading in all of their courses was overwhelming, so I taught them to read differently. I explained that they couldn’t possibly do everything in detail, so it was a matter of figuring out what they needed to do and what they didn’t. I used the technique of reading chapter headings and conclusions to get the flow of the material.
Then they could go back and review concepts they were unsure of.I also taught my students how to set a schedule differently. Instead of focusing on getting a task done–which can be demoralizing because most of us are unrealistic about planning how long a project will take–I showed them that it’s more productive to work on a project for a certain amount of time. That way, if you spend 30 minutes, no matter what you get accomplished you can feel successful.
I did have quite a few students with test anxiety. Personally, I took away the time issue out of the equation altogether when testing. I also taught students not to psych themselves out by using positive self-talk.
“I can do this. I’m well prepared for this test.” A lot of anxiety comes from worrying about what happens next on a test, so I think it’s important to look over the whole exam first and then start with what is easiest.

Mind MappingMind mapping is a visual tool, developed by Tony Buzan, used to structure and organize large amounts of information so it can be absorbed easily. Mind maps are helpful in many circumstances. When students use mind maps it students it makes it easier to take notes and retain information taught in classroom lectures by highlighting the relationships between different topics.Turn a blank sheet of paper horizontally and write the major concept inside a circle in the middle of the page.Add main ideas related to the concept and circle them.
Each main idea should have a line connecting it to the major concept in the center. Use brief keywords and phrases rather than sentences. Highlight related ideas with the same color.Each major concept will get its own mind map. Take notes on the side of the page to help you remember relationships. Example of Mind Mapping. Chart MethodThe charting method works well with subjects that can be easily broken down into categories (date/event/impact, pros/cons, etc.). Students should create charts prior to the lecture for the best results.Identify categories to be covered during the lecture.Create a chart and label each categoryFill in information under the appropriate category during the lecture.

Tech & Apps to Help Improve Study Skills. 10 Tips for Memory and ConcentrationMnemonicsIn elementary school, students learn silly sentences to remember important facts. For example, the first letter of each word in “Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally,” represents the standard order of operations: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction.
Another popular mnemonic is “King Paul Called Out for Gus and Sam,” for the division of the animal kingdom: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.Note Cards/Concept CardsFlashcards are helpful for memorizing concepts, facts and figures. Because they’re portable, students can carry them around and practice throughout the day. It’s always a good idea to shuffle flashcards instead of remembering them in order.Read Aloud/Repetition Because reading material out loud improves memory retention, students should recite their notes for practice. Even reading their notes out loud two or three times a day can be helpful.Mind MapsBy creating associations and connections, mind maps are an important way to improve memory. When using colors and images, mind maps help students make connections to the material.Create Practice TestsDevising practice tests requires reviewing and making a connection to material. Students should come up with as many multiple choice questions as possible using their notes as a guide and then answer the questions based on memory.Teach Someone Students can practice and manipulate concepts to help memorize what they’ve learned. Lecturing to the mirror and teaching material to other people are examples of experiential learning.DiagramsDrawing diagrams helps to visualize information, making it easier to recall material during an exam.
Practicing with diagrams is particularly useful for exams that require drawing or labeling diagrams.Rewriting Some learners remember information when they write it out. Students can copy their notes over several times to memorize the material.ListeningAuditory learners benefit from listening to lectures over and over again. Record the material once and play it back continuously while sleeping or driving helps students remember information. Some instructors permit students to record lectures.SQ3RThis structured approach is useful for learning chapters or sections of textbooks.S:Survey the chapter to get an overview, reading the chapter summary and headings. Briefly look over illustrations and tables.Q:Develop questions based on the chapter headings, similar to what you would find on an exam.3R: Read the chapter and answer your questions.
