2. Study  in one-hour blocks. As you schedule your study tasks, break them down so that they can be accomplished in one-hour blocks of time.  

3. Take breaks . After each study block, plan a ten-minute break, but be realistic about the kind of activity that you plan for a study break.  Taking a ten-minute nap will NOT work or doing an activity that could lead to the “just one more” syndrome (like playing a video game) will NOT work. 
4. Switch subjects to maintain your motivation to study. For example, by alternating between reading psychology and working algebra problems you can get more done without becoming bored and tired
If you have a large block of time to study, you should switch subjects every hour
5. Tackle difficult assignments first. Think about the courses you are taking this semester. Is there one class that you really like? Is there one course that you dislike? Do you have a class that is really easy? Do you have a class that is really hard?
7. Work until you finish scheduled tasks.  In high school, you may have studied for a specific amount of time. You did whatever you could in that time period and then closed your books.  In college, you need to get into the habit of working until you complete all the tasks that you scheduled for the day.
8. Work ahead. You will find college much less stressful if you get out of the habit of doing Tuesday’s assignments on Monday. Instead, get in the habit of doing the work due Tuesday on Sunday or even on Friday.
