When you’re young and in school, your biggest
Big Rock is your education. You should
(ideally) plan everything else around your
schooling. To ensure that you actually make
school a priority, block off the time during the
week that you’ll devote to class and studying
before the semester starts. During the
semester, plan around these blocked off times.
Here’s what I suggest blocking time off for:
1. Block off your class and lab times. The
most important appointments of your
week. Schedule everything else around
your class time.
2. Block off reading time for each of your
classes. If you have a Monday/
Wednesday/Friday schedule, you’ll
probably want to block off an hour or two
on Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday for
reading.
3. Block off time for note review/
outlining/homework for each class. You’ll
want to set aside time so you can
synthesize class notes, do some
outlining, and complete any homework
assignments you might have. I typically
blocked off an hour right after each class
for this. If a class was lecture heavy, like
ancient Greek philosophy, I’d use that
hour right after class to review my notes
and update my class outline. If the class
was heavy on problem sets, like calculus
or symbolic logic, I used the hour to do
that day’s assignment and any additional
practice problems.
The amount of time you need for note
review/outlining/homework will vary. I
recommend setting aside at least one
hour for each hour spent in class. If you
need more time, schedule it.
4. Other possible permanent time blocks.
If your work schedule is the same
throughout the semester, you might as
well block it off on your master schedule.
I also blocked off time for exercise on my
master schedule.

Create a master weekly study schedule before
every semester.

Time & Energy Management
In high school, your schedule is pretty well set
for you, and your parents are always around,
looking over your shoulder.
Then you get to college and each day is an
ocean of time that is all yours to decide what to
do with.
This is both a wonderful, glorious freedom and
a great challenge. But mastering that challenge
by learning how to successfully manage your
time will reap you great benefits not only in
school, but for the rest of your life.
Following the advice below, it’s possible
to excel in school, while working part-time, and
while still having a social life.
