if you\u2019re trying to add test prep to an already-demanding schedule, we know (and you probably already know) that it\u2019s going to be a tough few weeks and months ahead. but it\u2019s not impossible to find time for sleep, exercise, healthy eating, and occasional fun while still being productive enough to get things accomplished.<\/p>\n

it all starts with some time management basics. <\/p>\n

what is time management?<\/h3>\n

time management is the art of prioritizing your schedule so you can organize your time accordingly. people who have mastered time management are able to really execute their action plans (and still leave room for free time).<\/p>\n

in contrast, people who lack time management skills are always running from one place to another, trying to stay afloat but never being able to get much done. <\/p>\n

as a student, you know that friends, family, homework, sports, clubs, and test prep are all priorities that compete for your time. time management can help you stay on top of your commitments and eliminate stress. check out three of our favorite ways to start managing your time better.<\/p>\n

1. prioritize tasks by urgency<\/h3>\n

if a task requires your immediate attention, move it to the top of your priority list. a practice test that\u2019s scheduled for later this afternoon should take precedence over meeting up with a friend for lunch. <\/p>\n

2. commit fully to the moment<\/h3>\n

if you\u2019re working on test prep during a scheduled time, commit fully to test prep. don\u2019t use the time to worry about what\u2019s on the lunch menu for tomorrow, which sneakers you want to buy over the weekend, or what grade you\u2019ll get on your upcoming history test. you\u2019ll get much more out of your scheduled study session if you\u2019re focused. <\/p>\n

3. delegate tasks<\/h3>\n

you don\u2019t need to be on top of everything that comes your way. if you\u2019re finding that certain extracurricular activities or personal commitments are sapping up too much time, ask for help!<\/p>\n

recruit new club members who can help you schedule club meetings. ask your roommates to pitch in more to clean the apartment. outsource your laundry. call a dog walker. you\u2019ll be surprised how much time you can free up.<\/p>\n
