Time sponges
“My top tip for time management is get yourself to the library because in your own flat you can make endless cups of tea or go on Facebook and at the library you are just far less distracted and more productive.”Rachel, 3rd year, HistoryTalking 'Eds (Undergraduate)https://v3.pebblepad.co.uk/v3portfolio/pebble/Asset/View/Gfd459qRgq3p8xpjdxfwwcZGcw

The time sponge: Things you do instead of working• Take a card and write a note of your biggest time
sponge on the top half.• Pass it on to your left.• Read someone else’s note and write a possible
solution on the bottom half.• Pass the note on again.• In your small group share the sponges and the
solutions.

Go around one more time:Things you do to refocus• What works for you when you find you are losing
concentration?• Share your experience in your small group and
compile these tips on sticky notes. • Post these notes for everyone to read later before
they leave.
