Time management is an essential university skill. Poor organisation can lead to missed deadlines, inferior work, and increased stress.

It’s hard to work when we’re stressed and overwhelmed. Stress can make it difficult to focus on our work, and, if left unchecked, it can seriously impact both our mental and physical health. 

With so many distractions all around us, focussing on our work can be challenging. Focused work is incredibly valuable, because it means we can work less, freeing up time for the stuff we really love to do. But how do we work in a focussed way, when life and the internet are so full of distractions? 

Procrastination is one of the biggest challenges university students face. While some courses have constant deadlines, many are more self-directed, with only one big assignment or exam at the end.
