Sometimes it may seem that there isn't enough time to do everything that you need to. This can lead to a build up of stress. When revising for examinations, or during your final year when you have to combine the pressures of intensive study with finding time to apply for jobs good management of your time can be particularly important.

Scheduling Setting strict times for studying is a good way to go Make sure to do your most difficult studying when you are most alert. You can do the slightly easier stuff at other times when you might not have quite as much energy or focus. Watch what you eat Eating a lot of sugary foods is really bad for your concentration. You need to eat foods with a minimum of sugar, and also reduce white bread and other simple carbohydrates. Coffee is actually not too bad for your concentration if you drink it only occasionally. Your study environment Make sure that people know not to interrupt you whilst you're studying. Put a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door if you need one. Turn off your phone and internet while you're studying.
