 Working 20+ hours, full course load, and still want a social life? These time management tips make it possible.

1. Sunday 20-Minute Planning Session
   Block all fixed classes and shifts → schedule 3 deep work blocks → protect sleep.
2. The 1-3-5 Daily Rule
   1 must-do big task, 3 medium, 5 tiny. Everything else goes to tomorrow.
3. Time-Blocking in Google Calendar

   If a task takes less than 2 minutes — do it immediately.
6. Weekly “No” Rule
