Time Management and Study Skills

Using Time Management to Improve Study Skills from Education Corner

Step 2. Prepare a Weekly Schedule

Unlike your term calendar, which is planned out in it entirety at the beginning of each term, your weekly schedule is prepared at beginning of each new week. Each Sunday sit down and prepare your weekly schedule. Although you'll prepare your weekly schedule each Sunday, you should update your schedule as the week progresses and new items arise. To prepare your weekly schedule do the following:

• Write down on your calendar each class you have for each day of the week
• Take a look at your term calendar and write down on your weekly calendar items that need to be completed, or are occurring that week (i.e. assignments, tests, events, etc.)
• Go back and review all your class notes and your schedule from the prior week to see if there is anything you need to add to this weeks schedule that is carrying over.
• Add to your weekly schedule any out-of-school and extra-curricular activities you'll be participating in during the upcoming week.
• Note down the day and time for each assignment, study session, work group or project you'll be completing during the week. These may be occurring in the evening, after school, or during school.
