TIME MANAGEMENT FOR ICAN 

-1- WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO?

The 1st stage of improving your time management is to list everything that you have to do. Well.this may sound obvious, but speaking from experience, most students tend to leave important tasks until the last minute. This has been known to have a negative impact on the quality of their preparation and their overall results.

-2- CREATE A SCHEDULE

Whether it is a pin-up planner, a timetable or a calendar on your phone, find an appropriate organizing tool that works well for you and add your list of priorities to it. There are many time management apps that can help you with this. In addition, think about when you are most alert, so that you can plan your study periods around these times. Also, ensure that you get enough sleep. Most people need between 7 to 8 hours sleep every night to remain focused and alert during study periods.

-5- WORK ON ONE THING AT A TIME

It might seem like more is being accomplished with multitasking, but splitting attention between more than one task is not an effective way to study and learn. Honestly, you should work on one task at a time, giving it your full attention. Focusing on one task will help you complete it more efficiently and effectively.

-6-GET 8-10 HOURS OF SLEEP

Getting enough sleep is important to help you recharge your mind and have the energy needed to stay on track the next day. Use your master schedule to mark a cut-off time for studying each night. Following this routine will help make sure you have time to unwind at the end of each day and get the sleep you need.
