Managing time effectively reduces stress and prevents last-minute cramming.

  • Create a Study Schedule: Use a planner or calendar to map out assignments, tests, and regular, shorter study sessions for each subject.

  • Space Out Studying: Avoid cramming. Distribute your studying in short, intensive sessions over several days or weeks (spaced repetition) to improve long-term retention.

  • Break Down Tasks: Divide large assignments or study goals into smaller, manageable chunks to make them less overwhelming.

  • Minimize Distractions: Find a quiet, well-lit study space. Turn off phone notifications or use website-blocking apps during focused study time.

  • Take Regular Breaks: Use methods like the Pomodoro Technique (e.g., 25 minutes of focused study followed by a 5-minute break) to maintain concentration and prevent burnout.
