Managing Time and Stress

• Why is managing time and stress important?

  
  Establishing good routines and habits can be hard, but it's also the best way to make your life easier, more meaningful and less stressful.  
  
  

  How do I do it?

  Learning takes time, and it is important to spend time thinking about where and when you best work so that you can make the most of all the time you have available.  For example, assessments are all made up of many smaller tasks.  Be aware of what these are, get organised, start early, and know what is involved in completing each step. 

  Be proactive!  Take control of your environment, your notes and the technology available to you to support you in managing all of your commitments.  Taking action is the first step to overcoming moments of stress on your learning journey.
