- Visit the Student Life office to check out the many resources to help you with time management including workshops, handouts, self-assessments to determine how well you manage your time, apps like FocusBooster and assistive technology.
- Get a free academic planner or wall calendar from your student union so you can make and update to-do lists.

Time Management Tips
- Be realistic about how long each task may take to accomplish, which will help to ensure tasks don’t pile up and create stress.
- Use daily, weekly, and monthly planners to identify deadlines.
- Begin large projects early by breaking them into small tasks.
- Have a contingency plan. Sometimes the unexpected will occur, such as illness, a family emergency, transit delays, or winter weather.
