'I get impatient with what I have to do'

Have you set yourself realistic targets?
Do you understand why you've been asked to do something? If not, ask fellow students or your tutor for clarification.
Are you feeling impatient with the time a task is taking? If so, are you spending more time than is necessary? Check how relevant / important it is, and make sure your timescale is realistic. See 'Managing time' in the Time management unit of this site, especially 'Breaking down a task'.
If you're impatient with your preparation for an essay or presentation, remember that time spent on the early stages can make later stages simpler and quicker.
Is your impatience due to anxiety? If this is about a particular task, ask other students or your tutor for advice. If anxiety is a recurring issue, you may find it helpful to talk to a Counsellor at the Student Services Department.
