- Identify and manage your common time-wasters
- Prioritize your physical wellbeing - get sufficient sleep, eat nutritious meals, and take precautions to avoid getting sick

If you need additional support this quarter with issues such as time management, learning and memory, test anxiety, reading effectiveness, exam preparation, or general study skills, check out the Academic Skills Assessment Program (ASAP) from UChicago Student Wellness. Good luck, UChicago!
