We've built in lots of overlap between the access points, so don't be concerned that you'll be missing something important if you're not sure which access point to choose. You can always see the entire contents of the site by visiting the site map to check that you've covered all the topics relevant to your interests and needs. Regardless of which access point you choose, each will allow you to browse, link and jump around to your heart's content. Should your wandering turn to floundering, visit the Navigation page to get your bearings.

Use the Topic Access if a you can define specifically what you're looking for in terms of information or ideas. This access point includes more innovative or unusual topics in time management, such as: time management and computers time management and creativity time management and concentration.

To resolve the complex time management problems which so commonly plague experienced students, it's usually necessary to consider and explore a number of topics, many of them inter-connected, and decide which are most relevant to your needs. This access point is organized in an "issue and answer" format (not unlike a question-and-answer format, but it sounds better, no?) To access the issues, choose which of these areas your recurring or persistent issue falls under: Time Planning and Managing the Workload Procrastination and Related Issues Computer-Related Time Management Issues Browse through the list of specific dilemmas or problems on each page, and then select the one(s) which best matches the question, concern or difficulty you've been experiencing. Or, what the heck, just pick one that looks interesting and explore. Each issue is linked to its own separate page, which usually contains some discussion and analysis, and lists suggestions for ways to address the issue. Sometimes the suggestions appear at the end of the page, and sometimes there is a list of links to multiple pages. In the latter case you can link to each page in the order it appears or choose only those which are relevant to your needs.

Our experience has shown that students in different years, programs, and situations have differing and specific time management needs (big revelation here, huh?), so for this access point we've organized the pages in Learning Time according to their relevance to these students' needs: adult students returning to part-time studies computer addicts first-year students gifted or high-ability students graduate students students heavily committed outside of their studies (student leaders, athletes, volunteers, employees, etc.)

If none of the access points works for your needs, what would you suggest for a different or better way for students to get at the information in Learning Time? Please take a moment to let us know.
