And so it begins... albeit a day late due to the snow but I'm back into work mode and ready to DO THIS.
I've got my hefty timetable with a ridiculous four contact hours at university a week with a delightful minimum of 30 hours independent study time per week. I've also included essential cat naps.
If you find where my life has gone can you point it back in my direction please? Thanks.
Hi library (aka NEW BEST FRIEND).
If you would like your own handy 8am-8pm timetable for Monday to Sunday then feel free to download your very own version for free HERE.
You can download it and fill it in on a computer and then print it off or you can print off blank copies and choose to fill them in by hand.
My TOP TIPS for a SUCCESSFUL TIMETABLE:
5. Set yourself personal goals and deadlines to keep yourself motivated and more organised with your workload. If you struggle with time-keeping and getting all your work done last minute then this can be a life-saver.
6. Allow for procrastination time. If you know you are going to want to check facebook, watch TV, make a cup of tea or like me, nap, then allow for this in your timetable. If you do, that way you account for it and are less likely to feel guilty for doing that. Schedule your workload to fit around distractions, it is only normal.
If this is up for your street and you'd like to find out more ideas on how to keep on top of work then check out my article for the Leeds Student 'Get Organised: How to Have a Sussed Semester' HERE.

My TOP TIPS for a SUCCESSFUL TIMETABLE:
1. When making a timetable it is important to remember that it can be as loose or as
rigid as you feel it needs to be.
2. Include your university contact hours,
appointments and personal commitments.
3. Allow time for enough play alongside
work, but realistically schedule in time for independent learning (aim for at
least 2 hours a day if possible).
4. Have a copy of your timetable
saved on your laptop, that way you can update it on a weekly basis with any new
personal commitments or appointments that may arise).
