'I make unrealistic estimates of the time I need'
- 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
