Time Management
Student life can be demanding balancing the needs of academic work and other commitments.
Your success as a student will be affected by how much time you spend in study and how well you use that time. Thoughtful planning and good time management skills can make a big difference to your experience.
Our UCSD Study Guide to Time Management will help you learn more about time management and better understand your study habits.
You can also take a look at or revisit the Getting Ready for Academic Study and Time Management modules on Skills for Study. Please note: you will need your student email and password to access the Skills for Study resources.
