Throw away those quizzes you stashed in your backpack since fall quarter. Touch paper once. Work on the go. If you take the T or the bus, read your homework instead of daydreaming. Set your own deadlines.
Procrastination is the number one time waster.
Push up a time limit and stick with it. Define what s productive, especially during finals week. Limit conversations about gossip. Have an exit. Award yourself for time well spent with mind-numbing activities.
