'I make unrealistic estimates of the time I need'

Learn from past errors.

If you tend to under-estimate the time needed for tasks, try deliberately over-estimating for a while.
Refer to other students or your tutor for guidance

Plan a task systematically by breaking it down into smaller tasks. Prioritise them, and estimate how much time each one will take. For guidance see 'Managing time' in Time management on this website.

Use this breakdown to plan what you need to do, then stick to your plan!

Does your lack of realism about time actually come from a lack of motivation, or lack of self discipline? Check the list of 'Obstacles' for these or any other issues that may affect you
