Planning

Planning your week can be a great way to create structure and maybe even free up more time.
When planning your daily schedule, remember to include all aspects of your life: your studies, any paid or volunteer work, and time for rest and leisure.
If you plan your breaks in advance, it is often easier to relax without feeling guilty, because it is already part of your plan.

Build habits that support you, and challenge the ones that do not.
We are all creatures of habit, so it is important to maintain routines that help you, but also to explore new ways of studying that could benefit you even more. You know your own life best, so use your experience to identify what already works, and have the courage to try new things, such as studying at home versus in the library or a study hall. 

Be realistic.
Do you have a particularly demanding course this semester that requires extra preparation? Or are you planning a longer holiday, meaning you might need to work more in the surrounding weeks?
Try to adjust your plan to fit your situation. 

Finding the planning method that suits you takes time.
It may take some experimenting to discover what works best, but once you do, the effort will be worth it. There is no single way to plan your time, so stay curious and ask your peers how they do it.
We all continue to develop our study habits throughout our education, so nothing is set in stone. Once you find a method that works for you, the time you invested will truly be time well spent.

It can be useful to actively divide your time as a way to structure your studies.
