Time management
If you want to manage yourself, you need to manage your time use.

It is fine to waste time now and then, but you can actually plan that.

Time management is essential

  1. Schedule
    Make a schedule - you must always know what to do.

    Read the study guides for each course you participate in.
    Make a list of all study activities.

    You will usually find specified time frames for the individual course modules.

    Some studies or courses will even meet the ECTS requirement by stating the estimated time or hours needed by an average student to achieve each learning activity.

  1. On the basis of the planned study activities with time frames, you must set up a weekly schedule for the semester.

    You have to plan what you must get done from week to week, and then schedule the daily effort.

    Full-time students should expect to work with studies eight hours a day.

    A detailed semester plan with activities and deadlines, gives you confidence that you actually will manage to do all study activities and that you have sufficient time for them.
  1. Self-regulation
    The traditional focus on discipline and obedience are gone.

    In past times you had a strict teacher who instructed you, and it was expected that you did what you were put to.

    Now, you are to a large degree responsible for the learning yourself.

    Therefore, you must replace discipline and obedience with self-discipline and self control.

    These are qualities that you have to work on to improve.

    They are crucial ingredients when you strive to be self-regulated.
