In weekly planning
Be flexible - unforeseen things happen. If you cant
stick to your plan, try to make up for the missed
time later.
Be realistic this is about taking responsibility for
your learning. Plan to manage your time effectively
by setting achievable goals.
Avoid overcommitting yourself. Planning to study full
time, working, going to the gym every evening etc is
probably too much.
