Time Management

Throughout your Vet degree and working life you will find there is too many things to do.

Time management is a key component for success and a life skill. Developing good methods that work for you will stand you in good stead for life.

There is no correct way of managing time - all of us are different so you need to find a method that works for you. Some people find electronic devices useful, others find paper better. Some people like to have daily plans (broken down into hours), others weekly plans and other monthly plans. Some people use to do lists. All work but they have to work for you so experiment.

An important part of successful time management is being able to prioritise.

See the following advice from the University's Institute for Academic Development on ways to prioritise.
