A typical schedule should include the required study hours per day,
per course. The time during the day when those study hours take
place is not important.
For instance, say that you allocated 4 hours of study on Monday (2
hours Math and 2 hours Statistics). The schedule would reflect only the
2 hours Math and 2 hours Statistics. There is no need to also schedule
when those activities will take place.
The reason for this is important. Daily schedules change all the time. For
many students, it is very hard to stick to an hour-by-hour schedule. It
doesn’t make sense either. There are always mini-emergencies and
delays that take place during the days that scheduling and re-
scheduling every hour in our life doesn’t make sense, not to mention
the additional stress that it can cause.
The philosophy for scheduling your study time is simple; we all have
about 12 hours (excluding sleep) to plan our day. Most of it is taken up
with work; however the rest is up to us. It is this ‘free’ time where we
can fit in our academic schedule with the rest of our daily lives.
Here is an example of a study schedule:

Making use of to-do lists
It is the daily ‘to-do’ lists that will organize and prioritize the day. When
creating ‘to-do’ lists, it is often good practice to write out the list the
