Time management is a beautiful thing. It allows you to get all of your 'stuff' in order, without feeling pressured or stressed. You may have noticed my to-do list; it is bright green and sits on my desk. I use it to list the different tasks I have in each week and I highlight each task as it is completed. However, this didn't come naturally to me - I did countless time management courses before I found what worked for me!
When revising, how you manage your time is crucial. You need to try to break each subject down into manageable chunks - not so big that you feel overwhelmed, but not so small that you instantly forget everything you've just done. It's a tough balance to strike; you will make some mistakes in the early days - this is OK! The key is to continue pushing on, even when you know you've managed your time incorrectly - you can always change things as you go. Some top tips I can offer you, though, are:
It's a good idea not to study core academic subjects on the same evening. Try to contrast mentally stressful subjects with ones you find more relaxing; notice that I've put art against business studies. Both subjects require mental exertion, but their subject matter differs greatly and therefore you're not taxing your brain with too much of the same thing.
Always, always give yourself a day off, and whatever you do, avoid late-night cramming sessions. These will not help! It would be a good idea to start revising for your mocks now. You've got the Easter holidays to revise subjects and it is going to be incredibly tempting to avoid it - don't. There's nothing worse than coming back to school after two weeks off, only to find that you've forgotten everything you learned last half-term. This video explains a little more about time management:
