These goals are recorded and may be broken down into a project, an action plan, or a simple task list. For individual tasks or for goals, an importance rating may be established, deadlines may be set, and priorities assigned. This process results in a plan with a task list or a schedule or calendar of activities. A task list (also to-do list or things-to-do) is a list of tasks to be completed, such as chores or steps toward completing a project. Task lists are often prioritized.An early advocate of “ABC” prioritization was Alan Lakein. In his system “A” items were the most important (“A-1” the most important within that group), “B” next most important, “C” least important. A particular method of applying the ABC method assigns “A” to tasks to be done within a day, “B” a week, and “C” a month.Basic Tips on Time Management for StudentsEvery student spends a lot of time studying and almost every one of them would like their studying to be more efficient. Here are some basic tips to manage your time better when studying.Minimize DistractionsEliminate everything that might be a distraction in the area where you are studying. Make sure theres nothing nearby that might be tempting. If you love surfing the net, turn off the internet while you study. If you are totally into video games, discipline yourself to only play them after you have finished your studying as a reward. Dont put the video games anywhere near your study area.Watching TV whilst studying is a very bad idea and makes your studying really ineffective. You need to minimize all distractions and TV is a big one even if its just on in the background. Time of Day for Study Studying at the same time each and every day helps. Most people find it more effective to study during the day rather than at night, because they can concentrate better. But if you are a real night owl, then you may find that your ability to concentrate at night is just fine. Total 100% Focus for at Least 40 Minutes at a Time One of the most important things you can do to study effectively is to focus totally on your studying for at least 40 minutes at a time. Studying for 10 minutes here and there just will not cut it. Instead of quick little snippets, make sure you get in at least 40 or 50 minutes of total focus. While youre doing this, dont let yourself get distracted with anything else! Just focus intensely for the entire time. When you are finished, then relax, and play a video game or watch TV to reward yourself. You also dont want to study for too long at a time, because your brain gets fatigued and after a while it needs a rest. 90 minutes is probably the maximum you should go before taking a 10-minute break, and usually 60 minutes is enough.
