![Page 24: AP Prep Session August 11-12, 2014. Expectations for this class Participate Communicate Be honest Good attitude Please don’t use your cell phones](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1b067f8b9ab059988654/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Tips for Time Management
• Make a plan: – Make a to-do list every day. Don’t just make a
random list, consider time limits and when it needs to be accomplished.
– Make a weekly plan on Sunday nights. Ask yourself what you need to accomplish by the end of the week and figure out when and how you will do it.

Tips for Time Management
• Be realistic about your time:– Think about how long it should take to do
something– Set time limits for things; use a kitchen timer if
necessary– Don’t discourage yourself by planning out huge
chunks of time you will never use (i.e. “I’m going to study for history for 6 hours this weekend!”)

Tips for Time Management
