Workload & deadlines

Deadlines feel more manageable when you can see what needs doing and what can realistically fit into the time you have.

Things you can try

Put all known deadlines in one place.
Work backwards from each deadline and identify the main stages.
Decide what is most important rather than treating everything as equally urgent.
Leave some spare time in your plan.
If you already know a deadline may be difficult because of your circumstances, ask for advice early.

When to ask for more help

If workload is affecting your wellbeing, attendance or ability to continue with your course, contact your tutor or Student Support.
