| I have difficulty finding the time to write an essay (B8-B12). Not having (finding!) enough time to write a report has everything to do with good time management, avoiding procrastination, careful planning and keeping a good health and energy balance (Skill Sheet B8). Three general principles help you to manage you time as effectively as possible: (1) gap: identify most important ‘time wasters’, (2) decision: work in modules, and (3) action: cope with excuses. Try to determine what your main time wasters are. The most prevalent time wasters, lack of aim, priorities and an unwillingness to set deadlines, can be tackles by working in modules of a couple of hours: periods of time that can include clear and manageable aims. Try to split your work load into clearly defined modules. Finally, try to avoid distractions by coping with excuses. Identify your excuses for lingering about and discipline yourself to stay focused. You can find more information on procrastination (“the avoidance of doing a task that needs to be accomplished”), week planning and semester planning and keeping a good health and energy balance in Skill Sheet B9-12.
