Time Management

[methibosheth]

I've found that the easiest way to motivate myself to study is to schedule a test. You can't re-schedule infinitely, so all of the sudden you have a (gulp) DEADLINE! I had five more CLEPs I wanted to complete before starting my day job, and wasn't making much progress. So I made a bold move and scheduled all five of them a week apart. I knew from past CLEPs that a week was plenty of study time for me. Five weeks later, I had taken my last CLEP! Incidentally, this is my favorite time management technique: Create a deadline that includes consequences for not meeting said deadline. The most important part of this technique is the consequences for not meeting this deadline have to be something you wish to avoid at all costs. Its almost like giving yourself a spanking for not obeying yourself! hilarious
