The tips below for managing your time will help you organize your busy schedule and accomplish all your tasks and still allow for some time to relax and unwind in your daily routine.
A to-do list is the best way to get everything out of your head and into a clearly visible spot where you can see them.

You can also ensure that you complete your tasks by setting deadlines. Prioritizing tasks that will have the most impact on your long-term goals and removing those that aren’t necessary is a great method to free up time in your routine.
Discipline and self-control are important for effective time management. This could mean not allowing distractions to distract you, such as ignoring emails or opening non-work-related tabs to your computer during working hours, or simply saying no to your friends when you must spend extra time in the library prior to an exam. It could also mean taking frequent breaks to avoid becoming lost in your work or losing motivation.
