If you learn to break things down into manageable chunks that work for you, you’ll realise how easy it is to get all your work done by deadlines. Stay calm and remember to ask for help if you need it!

To practice breaking your work down, complete the Quick Activity worksheet below for the next college week. You may not have very much work to complete yet, but it's a good idea to get into this habit now, or to at least try it out so that you know how to do it later when you really need it! If you currently do not seem to have very much to do, don't forget that you should also be using your time to organise your notes and read around you subjects, so you could add those tasks in for this week.
