At the moment I’m generally busy almost every hour of
everyday. It hit me a few days ago that I only had 2 months left of university,
it actually made me panic. I wrote a time table so I knew exactly what I was
meant to be doing every day and to stay on schedule.
Above is a screenshot of my timetable I created. It’s not
that detailed, but I do go over every assignment in the excel document. It’s a
rough chart I need to follow, I’m still on time for all my assignments, I just
find it easier when I write a time table and plan ahead. I didn’t really need
to do this in the first year, I did every assignment in a chronological order
or just before deadline time. In second year I didn’t actually need to plan
that far ahead, I would generally plan daily what I need to do and revision for
exams.
Mistakes in planning…
I wrote a small plan in my second year for exams, this was
months before the exams where due to be sat. The issue with this is that I
planned to do a bulk of the revision the day before I sat it. That didn’t work
out what so ever, I actually was informed by a friend that the exam date was
changed weeks ago, so I didn’t realise that the day I planned to do most of my
revision was the new day of the exam. So I heard about this exam about 9 hours
before sitting it. That’s really bad planning on my behalf and I definitely should
have checked to see if the exam dates had changed.
It lead to an all-nighter
where I revised the whole unit and only had around 1-2hours sleep before travelling
to the exam. Luckily I actually got an A grade for this exam. I wouldn’t recommend
revising a day before for any exam, I just have an impressive short term memory
plus good attendance in the unit will definitely help.
