Then, think about what sorts of activities you might complete during these waiting times. Remember, these are short bits of time when you don\u2019t have the ability to maximize your concentration. So you probably can\u2019t plan to write an essay during the bits of time between classes. But you could review or make some flashcards. What else could you get done in these bits of time?\r\n\r\nHere are some examples:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Make weekly to-do list<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Review notes<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Check school announcements, messages, and emails<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Make flashcards<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Study Time<\/h3>\r\nNow, let\u2019s think about study time.

Then, think about what sorts of activities you might complete during these waiting times. Remember, these are short bits of time when you don\u2019t have the ability to maximize your concentration. So you probably can\u2019t plan to write an essay during the bits of time between classes. But you could review or make some flashcards. What else could you get done in these bits of time?<\/p>\n<p>Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make weekly to-do list<\/li>\n<li>Review notes<\/li>\n<li>Check school announcements, messages, and emails<\/li>\n<li>Make flashcards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Study Time<\/h3>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s think about study time.

Can you find those hours in your week? And can you spread them out as much as possible, so you aren\u2019t trying to do all your studying in one clump over the weekend (which would be exhausting)?<\/section>\n<p>Having scheduled your fixed time, your class time, your study time, and your somewhat fixed time, how much time do you have left? Did you remember to schedule time to eat? Did you schedule time for friends? Friends are very important to your success in college. If you haven\u2019t already done so, think about making a study group so that you can use your study time but also spend time with friends. This can be more productive than you think!<\/p>\n<section class=\"textbox example\" aria-label=\"Example\">Look at this completed calendar as an example\u2014you can see that things can quickly get busy! It&#8217;s okay if your plan doesn&#8217;t work out perfectly, but it&#8217;s helpful to plan out the most important items so you can prioritize getting those done.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Monday<\/td>\n<td>Tuesday<\/td>\n<td>Wednesday<\/td>\n<td>Thursday<\/td>\n<td>Friday<\/td>\n<td>Saturday<\/td>\n<td>Sunday<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7:00<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>commute<\/td>\n<td>commute<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8:00<\/td>\n<td>commute<\/td>\n<td>commute<\/td>\n<td>commute<\/td>\n<td>A&amp;P<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9:00<\/td>\n<td>English Composition<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td>English Composition<\/td>\n<td>A&amp;P<\/td>\n<td>English Composition<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td>Church<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10:00<\/td>\n<td>A&amp;P<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td>A&amp;P<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td>A&amp;P<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td>Church<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>11:00<\/td>\n<td>A&amp;P<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td>A&amp;P<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td>A&amp;P<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>12:00<\/td>\n<td>Tutoring<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td>Tutoring<\/td>\n<td>Counseling<\/td>\n<td>Lifespan Development<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1:00<\/td>\n<td>Lifespan Development<\/td>\n<td>English Composition<\/td>\n<td>Lifespan Development<\/td>\n<td>English Composition<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2:00<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td>gym<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td>transfer application<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3:00<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td>volunteer<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td>transfer application<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4:00<\/td>\n<td>swim<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td>swim<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td>swim<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5:00<\/td>\n<td>commute<\/td>\n<td>Dance<\/td>\n<td>commute<\/td>\n<td>Dance<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6:00<\/td>\n<td>Work<\/td>\n<td>friends<\/td>\n<td>Work<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Work<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7:00<\/td>\n<td>Work<\/td>\n<td>friends<\/td>\n<td>Work<\/td>\n<td>A&amp;P study group<\/td>\n<td>Volleyball game<\/td>\n<td>Work<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8:00<\/td>\n<td>Work<\/td>\n<td>Intramural game<\/td>\n<td>Work<\/td>\n<td>commute<\/td>\n<td>Babysit<\/td>\n<td>Work<\/td>\n<td>Birthday Party<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9:00<\/td>\n<td>Work<\/td>\n<td>commute<\/td>\n<td>Work<\/td>\n<td>friends<\/td>\n<td>Babysit<\/td>\n<td>Work<\/td>\n<td>Birthday Party<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10:00<\/td>\n<td>Work<\/td>\n<td>STUDY<\/td>\n<td>Work<\/td>\n<td>friends<\/td>\n<td>Babysit<\/td>\n<td>Work<\/td>\n<td>Birthday Party<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>11:00<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>friends<\/td>\n<td>Babysit<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"textbox recall\" aria-label=\"Recall\">Here is a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asundergrad.pitt.edu\/study-lab\/study-skills-tools-resources\/time-management-calculator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">time management calculator<\/a> where you can enter the credits you are taking.
