Time strategies that I employed this term include, a weekly and daily schedule. In it, is a good idea to jot down time taken by “fixed commitments” (Hazard & Nadeau, 2012, p. 65). By having a schedule to follow per day and per week, I am able to track what it is that I need to work on. Much time is occupied by assignments. This term was different than last term in several ways. First, the work load has increased, and so has the difficulty of the material.

(Hazard & Nadeau, 2012, p. 79) Something else I would suggest is, making a weekly and daily schedule, such as the “Flex time” strategy, which can be a great tool that can help you keep track of your classes, assignments, as well as free time that you have available.
