Process: Time Management for Studying

1. This is my process for managing study time and is open to refinement.
2. Create a small list of goals. (example: learn the subject material in a class, or learn to read and speak a specific language)
3. Derive some small beginner tasks from the goals and compile them into a list.
4. Move the "must do" tasks to the top of the list, and move the "want to do" tasks to the bottom of the list.
5. Prioritize the list of tasks. (example: a class with a grade of "B" might take priority over a class with a grade of "A")
6. Allocate fixed chunks of time (25-35 minutes) for each task, breaking the tasks into smaller chunks if needed.
7. Identify free time in the next day and schedule these time chunks into that free time.
8. In the following calendar day, follow the schedule.
9. At the end of the day, repeat the process listed above, up to step 7.
