Especially at this time of year when exams season is now in full swing, learning how to use one's time in the run up to, during or in-between exams can have a major impact upon both stress and performance levels. Everybody copes with exam stress differently but effective time management skills may provide benefit to anyone faced with the challenge of surviving the hectic examination period.
Exam Survival Time Management – Avoid Procrastination
As the saying goes "procrastination is the thief of time" and in terms of essential exam revision learning to avoid putting off key tasks, however small or uninteresting, is a vital skill. The important thing here is to remember that putting off jobs will only seek to reduce levels of motivation and increase stress levels, thus procrastination is a very ineffective trait or behaviour. It is the same during an exam, where avoiding questions will serve to guarantee failure to obtain any marks at all whereas if one at least tries to answer the question there still remains the possibility of getting some marks.
To avoid getting stuck in the procrastination trap, always seek to undertake the difficult questions or tasks first. This way there will be far less time spent with the worry and anxiety about such tasks hanging over oneself and in time problem-solving skills may also improve as a result, adding another string to the bow.
