Loading ...I find it a little hard to keep all of my time in order, especially with homework and sports and the like. I would like to have enough time each night to finish all of my work and look over the notes for the day and still get a reasonable amount of sleep. If you have any tips or tricks to stay on track and get the most out of the afternoons, they’d be greatly appreciated!

Plan enough time for study. As a general rule, in college, you should study at least two hours outside of the classroom for every hour that you’re in a class.
Develop the habit of studying at the same times each day. The creates stronger study habits.
Get a weekly or monthly planner – depending on your preferences – and write all due dates for assignments and test dates.

Study Skills:
Try to not spend more than one hour at a time on any one subject. Try not to spend more than 20 to 30 minutes on memorization. Short blocks of time are the best method for studying and retaining information.
You’ll need to take frequent rest breaks in order to remain alert. Try to take at least a ten minute rest break in between studying for two different subjects. Also, try starting your study time with the most boring or most difficult subject and end on your favorite, funnest or easiest subject.
Try to study similar subjects at separate times. It is important to separate study periods for similar subjects. This adds variety to specific study times and keeps your brain alert and active.
If there are certain times of the day in which you always become sleepy, avoid studying during those times.
