study time... : (

Hi everyone!!

I am new to this board and very excited . I am  in grad school studying International  Economics.

I would like to hear from you ladies how you plan your study time. what is your routine and how do you juggle your schedules? I am finding it very hard to cope in grad school and things are not getting any better. I recieved my end of semester exam results today. When I  looked at them  I  nearly passed out. They are not good. I definately need a new plan going forward. First off  is to cut back the time I spend knotting : ) Any other suggestions ladies?

Thank you  all in advance.

  • I'm not in grad school yet, but I typically schedule out different blocks of hours for different classes and write out at to-do list of what I want to get done within that hour (study guide, reading a chapter, homework, review notes, ect).  I use google calendar to block off my entire schedule so that I know when I have class, when I have my internship, and then I can block off homework time.  List making is always my first step though, it's seriously a life saver.  HTH!

  • I'm in my last year of law school. The best advice I can give you about graduate school and studying is to treat it like a job. Get there in the morning by 9 even if you don't have class early. Leave at 5 or 6 or 7 if necessary. Study and do your work during the day in between classes so you can spend time with your FI in the evenings.

  • I work full time and take two grad classes a semester. Sometimes, working at home is full of distractions, so I usually try to go straight to the library after work most weekdays and get a solid 2 hours of reading or writing done there. I will also take my computer to the library on Saturdays. Sunday is usually for relaxing and running errands with FI.

    I find at home, it's so easy to get a snack, or start doing laundry, or turn on just ONE episode of a show... so I need to go somewhere I can really focus, and turn off the wireless on my laptop!
