Time-Blocking Recap
Time blocking is what pulls everything together. It's what will separate you from students who are good at time management and launch you into a league of your own. When your study block comes up, you are committed to doing specific tasks at specific times. You're not picking up random work or scrolling on your phone trying to procrastinate. You know exactly what task you're going to conquer, and you're not stressing about doing something else because you've already planned it out.
You assign tasks that need more concentration to big study blocks and reserve smaller study blocks for quick tasks like reviewing your notes or doing self-testing. You're never overwhelmed by big tasks like exams or papers as soon as they show up in the plan sidebar, because they're within their start date, and you plan them out one study block at a time.
You sit down every Sunday night and make your plan. You are in control.
