Time Management for Reading Assignments

Beating the Clock

Managing your time helps you avoid cramming and stress. Break big reading assignments into smaller pieces, set a timer for focused reading, and take regular breaks. Create a reading schedule so you always know what’s next.

Tips for Success

  • Use a planner to track due dates
  • Set goals for each reading session
  • Reward yourself when you finish a section

Examples

  • Setting aside 20 minutes each day to read a novel for class.

  • Creating a checklist to track progress when reading a long textbook chapter.
