Sometimes when we study we don't realise we're on auto-pilot and not actually absorbing as much as we could be. Other times we're not using our time as efficiently.

Here I'll discuss a few steps you can take to manage your time better and make room for your academics. 🌾 Evaluate  🌾 Step back and look at where your time goes. What do you invest your time in? Do you waste time between/after classes? Do you waste time talking excessively with friends/family? Is your commute to and from school/uni too long? Find out where most of your time goes. 🌾 Prioritise  🌾 Now that you know where most of your time goes, you need to prioritise. What do have to do? What can you put aside/sacrifice?
