Study tips: three time management techniques for when stress hits

Feeling overwhelmed by the amount of study you need to do? We share some time management techniques to help you get back on track.

Sometimes stress can come out of nowhere. One day you’re feeling focused and in control, the next you feel overwhelmed by the mountain of work in front of you. When this happens, you have three choices:

• Crawl back under the covers and pretend your to-do list doesn’t exist (aka – procrastinate).
• Start working frantically, jumping from one task to the next, with barely a moment to stop and eat let alone check whether your work is up to standard (aka – take your stress levels and multiply them by 100).
• Reassess your priorities (aka – get back in control)
