<p>I'm drained by taking two summer courses, circuits and statics and I haven't been done nearly the amount of studying I should have done. </p>
<p>I have a midterm and a quiz tomorrow along with two LONG homeworks and I'm a little behind on the material. But that's because some days I don't end up studying in which I should have. I found a great study place but I haven't gotten used to staying there for long hours. </p>
<p>I think the only problem I have is time management and how organize my schedule. Should I buy one of those planners with the times? </p>
<p>Next semester, I'm going to be taking 15-18 credits and doing research, and the classes I'm going to be taking are REALLY hard ones for Juniors. So I'm worried about doing good.</p>
<p>The most difficult part of time management, IMO, is actually just doing it. You can buy all the scheduling organizers you want, but if you can’t get to the point where you act on those things you need to get done it’s an exercise in futility. Keeping some kind of list is important so you don’t forget things, but that’s really just the beginning.</p>
<p>I would suggest setting some kind of regular schedule where you study from X - Y on days Z. And then do it. You might start listing off reason after reason why you can’t or don’t want to… Just do it. After a few weeks it will become second nature to you and you won’t think twice. It also helps if you can study with someone else as it can be more interesting and there is more pressuring you to actually show up for studying.</p>
<p>I know some people who prefer a highly regular, highly structured schedule. They prefer to do very specific tasks at very specific times. If they deviate from that schedule they fail to get anything done. You might be one such person.</p>
