I Don’t Have Enough Time!
Do you think you do not have enough time to study for exams, participate in extracurriculars, have jobs, and have a social life? The two tools, described below, may be of benefit.
The University of Pittsburgh hosts a time calculator that can help you understand how you are organizing your time throughout the week. The University of Toronto-Scarborough hosts an assignment planner.
Time Calculator – University of Pittsburgh
How it Works
To use the calculator, begin by entering the number of credits you are taking and how you are currently spending your time. Once you have done that, you can use the calculator to see how small changes can help you organize your time more efficiently.
The calculator is available at this site: https://www.asundergrad.pitt.edu/study-lab/time-management-calculator
Assignment Planner – University of Toronto-Scarborough
How it Works
The Assignment Planner breaks down various projects into manageable steps based on your due dates. Each step includes hints and “how-to” links. You can also add each step to your calendar using the button “Add to Calendar.”
To use the planner, users fill in the date they will begin the assignment and the date the assignment is due. Next, the user chooses, from a drop-down list, the type of assignment, and then clicks the “Calculate Schedule” button. Note, any interim due dates provided by the instructor take precedence over dates suggested by the Assignment Planner.
