It is more efficient to study hard for a definite period of time, and then stop for a few minutes, than attempt to study on indefinitely. Plan for weekly reviews . The weekend is a good time for review. Leave some unscheduled time for flexibility . Lack of flexibility is the major reason why schedules fail.
Students tend to over-schedule themselves.
Allot time for planned recreation, campus and off-campus activities, etc . When a student plans his schedule, he should begin by listing the activities that come at fixed hours and cannot be changed. Classes and laboratories, sleep, and work are examples of time uses that the student typically cannot alter. Next, he can schedule his flexible time commitments. These hours can be interchanged with other hours if he finds that his schedule must be changed during the week.
