HOW TO STOP

PROCRASTINATING?

• Get rid of distractions and find a study area

that works best for you.

SET GOALS FOR YOURSELF

• Plan each day, week, and semester.

• Set long-term and short term goals.

know which goals to stick with.

TRACK HOW YOU USE YOUR TIME

• Discover how you really spend your time.

• Assess if you are using your time efficiently.

WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER

• Set realistic goals. There are only 24 hours in a day.

• Use spare time for review.

• Make it a habit to study at the same time each day.

• Prioritize your goals and identify in what order things need to be done.

• Set aside study time: 2 hours per 1 hour of class.

Evaluate your energy level at different

times of the day and schedule your tasks

when you have the energy level to

match.
