Overview

An HE course is full of opportunities—but it also comes with competing demands. From coursework and deadlines to work and social and family commitments, managing your time effectively is essential for success and wellbeing.

This unit introduces the core principles of time management, prioritisation, and organisation—skills that will help you stay on top of your responsibilities, reduce stress, and make the most of your HE experience. Whether you're juggling multiple assignments or trying to find balance in your day-to-day life, these strategies will empower you to work smarter, not harder.

Let’s explore how to take control of your time and build habits that support both academic achievement and personal growth.
