How do I make a timetable?

Hello there!

So i have a mountain of things i need to be doing and creating a timetable was my first thought to keep organised.
I have made timetables in the past but they always ended up being bias ('oh i find this subject east - 30 mins of revision will do').
How do i make an effective timetable - any app/website you recommend ?

Much appreciated .

I haven't really found anything that can make a good revision timetable for me. I have started making revision timetables in Google Calendar because you add in time blocks, but that would still be prone to bias. I think you need to be aware of where you may be being biased, and then try and adjust it to make it less biased.

Hi @Random3,

I had the same struggles and biases as you back during GCSE and A-Levels when I tried to devise a revision timetable. But a helpful tip I was taught by my tutor was to schedule the revision timetable according to the subjects you had in school or college that day.

For example, if on Mondays I had Maths, Chemistry, Geography and English Language - I would dedicate my time afterschool at home to revise the content we went through that day in those classes. I would re-read the textbook, refine any notes, and strengthen my understanding. If I felt confident I would do one or two topical questions on the content I covered to test whether I fully understood what I had just revised. I would do this for the repeat this process for the rest of the week.

I noticed that by going over the same content in class that day, and as well as at home engrained the information in my brain much better. I was able to recall the content and key ideas much easier even months further down the line.

Hope this helps,
