[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 28592, member: 1"] No problem! I think the 'wasting your university years' point is quite individual; it would depend on what's important to you to do at university and the number of things you're balancing your activities with. I'm not sure I have anything useful to say here, so [USER=1160]@Alice G[/USER] may have some better thoughts on this! I have learned a fair few things about productivity/making the most of time since starting TCLA, mostly because there are a lot of things I could be doing and I've had to prioritise. One is that I used to measure how hard I had worked by the number of hours I had done. This isn't a great metric because I could spend 'hours' being unfocused/distracted. What I care about now is quality time; when I work, I often set a timer and for the duration of that time, I'm reminded to focus only on the work I'm trying to do, rather than trying to multitask or allowing myself to get distracted. By doing this, I often get far more done in a few hours than I used to over the course of a day. You might also find it helpful to work out when you're most productive (e.g. mornings) and dedicating that time to the most important work you need to do. [/QUOTE]
