Avoid Distraction
Often while we are working we are distracted by the various sub-noises that come at us from all directions. Social media, games, phones, or music, it is important to cut ourselves off from these things that prevent us from focusing. We often get notifications or messages from our friends while we are working and unfortunately we can’t stand it and we keep checking what the message is, even though most of the time it’s not important.
Friends can also distract us at times. Constantly hanging out with friends can cause us to postpone our tasks in favor of our friends. The most important thing in time management is to properly estimate how much a given task can take. We often overestimate our abilities and think that we can get something done later. Such behavior is not good if we want to have a well-rounded life.

It is also worth being assertive and in some situations just say “NO”. There is nothing else left for you but to open your calendar and start writing your plan for the next few days. You can also start planning your Erasmus+ trip, don’t wait until the end or you might miss the application deadlines. It is worth keeping track of the application dates at your university.
