Exams are right around the corner. Sometimes, you’re on top of everything. Sometimes, there’s just not enough time in the day. Here are some common time-management techniques and ideas that might help make this exam period a little less stressful.
Pomodoro
This is a pretty easy technique. Essentially, there are only three steps:
- Pick something to study
- Study it for 25 minutes
- Take a short break
After you take your break, repeat these steps. For every 4 sessions of 25 minutes, take a longer break. You can learn more about Pomodoro here. Librarian Scott Vanderlin has used Pomodoro, and has found the Pomotodo web app to be really helpful for staying on track.
