Scheduling your work
Once you have found out when deadlines and exams are, you may be able to predict when busier times will be on the course and times when you will want to have a lower workload. You may find a written planner useful so you can keep track of your commitments. This can help you plan ahead for other responsibilities you have, e.g. Christmas, children’s birthdays, work commitments, planned holidays, medical appointments or therapy sessions. You may also already be able to predict times when your mental health will be less good; for example, anxiety around an anniversary or other regular event. And you may need reflection or recovery time after therapy sessions or other appointments.
