Remember that you will be selecting two strategies to focus on and these need to align with the weak areas you have identified in your SWOT analysis.

Strategy 2: Time management

Being on time, correct gear, and ready to learn. Prioritising your time on the important areas

In your day there are:

86,400 seconds

1,440 minutes

24 hours

You are in charge of deciding how to spend that time and what you prioritise

What are some advantages of having effective time management? List them below.

Advantages could include:

• Increased effectiveness

• Saves time
• Prevents stress 
• Reduces anxiety 
• Motivates and initiates 
• Reduces avoidance of tasks
• Allows review and reflection
• Eliminates cramming
• A more balanced life

Scenario 1:

Tyler revises 6 hours per day. He reads revision books all through the night. He cuts down on sleep and football practice so he can watch documentaries on the subjects he's studying.

Scenario 2:

Eva revises 2 or 3 hours per day. She still plays football and keeps a regular bedtime. She chunks revision, alternating active revision methods, and rewarding herself with Social Media breaks. 

Which of these students is managing their time most effectively? Explain your reasoning.

What's better when it comes to revising - quality or quantity? Explain your answer.
