Revision and Study Timetables: Wall Planners

You may already have a daily or weekly revision/study timetable. You may have created it on your computer and printed it off.

However, for your next revision/study timetable, why not try a reusable, easy to use and fun wall planner? These wall planners are like whiteboards and markers pens can be used on them and the text you write can be easily wiped off. They come in weekly, monthly and yearly sizes. You can use them again and again, week after week, month after month and each and every year! They really are a study stationary must have.


TIP: If you have already created your study or revision timetable, why not  bookmark this post and keep this tip in mind for next time you need to plan your study and/or revision in the next academic year? That way you can get off to a brilliant and organised start as soon as the academic year starts. If you bookmark this post you can easily come back to it and browse when you are ready.

I have included a link to WhiteBoards with the Wall Planners, in case you are interested in using them for to-do lists, or studying in general. 

How will I benefit from a Wall Planner?

The benefits of a Wall Planner:

• Wall Planners are an excellent investment for all students (and anyone else for that matter). Prospective and current University students should seriously consider them for one additional important reason. University students are given a very loose timetable. You have to be able to quickly and easily organise yourself. This is much easier if you already have tools, such as a Wall Planner and a diary. Most people use a diary and it is a good organisational tool. But being able to know what you need to do, and what needs to be done for the day/week/month in one quick glance at your wall is incredibly useful. You can identify upcoming deadlines and plan accordingly, fitting in last minute plans easily and deftly. Find all the lectures, seminars and other organised activities you need to go to in a day/week/month. Improve your time management skills by easily finding time slots to fit in work for writing that essay due in next week or reading for a seminar. The type you choose will depend upon your personal preferences and studying requirements. Not only will you feel organised, you will be organised. 

• Wall Planners can be placed on your wall to display your activities for each day of the week. This way you can see what you need to get on with via one glance at your wall rather than flicking through reams and reams of paper.

• You may also be getting a bit tired of using note paper and books after note-taking for your revision. Using a wall planner will provide you with a welcome break. Not to mention – it’s eco-friendly! You will be drastically cutting down on paper in the form of diaries and note-book organizers.

• They are incredibly easy to use, just note down what you need to do each day with the marker pen and there are some wall planners which come with stickers to organize your activities. If you make a mistake or realize you are being unrealistic with the amount of work you are setting yourself – don’t worry! There really is no need for tip-ex, untidy scribbling out or to start your whole timetable over again. Just wipe off what you don’t need and start again. It makes life that much easier. 

• The great bit about a wall-planner is that you can change your timetable day by day. You can be more flexible and easily re-schedule if something unexpected comes up. 

• You can easily write your to-do list onto the wall planner to make sure you get more done. You will be giving yourself clear deadlines for your to-do list rather than just letting the list grow and grow.

• If you are the type who loves the idea of writing on a whiteboard, and being able to quickly edit your timetable with no fuss, there really is no reason for why you shouldn't have a Wall Planner.

TIP: Get a set of dry-wipe marker pens in a range of colors, to help make your Wall Planner colorful, much more interesting to look at, and to stock up on pens in case any pen included runs out! Links for colored marker pens are included are the end of this post.

Time Management: Daily and Weekly Timetables/Planners

In my experience as a student, a timetable makes all the difference whilst studying. It helped me to find enough time for work and rest. With a timetable, you can finish each day feeling that you have put the right amount of time aside for studying. A daily, weekly or monthly timetable can be all it takes to actually get you into gear and start studying. It also reduces the stress of trying to find time slots for all your different tasks and activities. What are you waiting for? Draw up a timetable today! It is really not that hard, the resources below make it incredibly easy. I hope this helps, let me know how you get on!

You can find tips on how to fill your timetable at the bottom of this page.

You can download a blank copy of that very timetable by scrolling to the bottom of this page: Study Timetable From Example 

How do I fill my Timetable in?

Decide on the length of study time that suits you. Is this 25 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour? Most timetables preset timetables use hours or 30 min slots. That is great if you have that amount of time for your study sessions. What if you study for 25 minutes, 45 minutes or a mixture? Try the third resource on the list i.e. this one: A fun Time Management exercise that helps you schedule your WEEKLY tasks. Here you fill in the total amounts of time you spend each day on each task and activity. Then you can print it off. If you wish you can also use Microsoft Word or another word processing package to create your own timetable: have days of the week across the top of the table (horizontally) and your time slots down the side of the table (vertically).

So, how do you go about filling it in? Use the example provided above as a guide.

Consider:

• When are you most alert – at night or during the day? Schedule your study when most alert and your rest when you feel more tired or just less alert.

• Make sure you make enough time for rest! You need time off from studying to do whatever you enjoy doing in your free time.

• Use different colors for different activities to make it more visually effective, if you want, and print it off so you can stick it on your wall!

• Note deadlines for assignments and dates of exams and put this onto your timetable or make a list and put it with your timetable. That way you can make sure to stay on top of things.

• Review your timetable regularly. Can you still stick to it? If you can for the most part, keep it. If not, try creating a new one with realistic time frames.

Good luck and Happy Studying!
