The "Time Management and Study Skills" essay in Chapter 4 of your eBook discusses various tips to help you manage and organize your time better and put the most effort into your studying.

Which of these have you had the most problems with in the past, and how do you intend to address these?

While I do not have a copy of the text in front of me, I can offer a few potential challenges and ways to adjust to them - see the explanation below!

One of the biggest obstacles to effective time management and studying habits is being distracted. Primarily, this is as a result of technology - whether that is the internet, social media, or simply having phone access all the time. One of the best measures one can take to alleviate this and make your study time more effective is to add a few quick and simple structures to your routine. For example, designate a "study time" or specific time slot when you will only focus on studying. During that time, have a spot that you will place your phone - you can even ask a friend or family member to hold onto it during that time as an added layer of security!

Another problem that gets in the way of managing time is simply having too many commitments at once. A great way to think about managing this is to map out your time at the beginning of the week. On a Sunday afternoon, looking ahead to what you can expect for the week, try to map out what is ahead and set aside "productive spaces" where you will intend to get your work done. This adds some certainty to your schedule and holds you accountable during those spans of time; that way, you don't have to spend your free time thinking about what work you should be doing, because you know there is a time set aside when you can focus on work!

And one last thing that gets in the way of effective studying is endurance. Often times, we fail to take enough breaks during longer study sessions. It is important to give yourself time limits when studying so that you can refresh every so often. One great method to respond to this is to work in 30 minute intervals. Work for 30 minutes, take a 5-10 minute break, then work for 30 minutes again, and then take another break. Chunking your time like this will lead to more effective studying!
