Building a weekly study timetable
Study Methods · updated 2026-09-07
Timetables fail by being optimistic. Budget 60-70% of the hours you think you have.
| Commitment | Realistic study hours/week |
|---|
| Full-time work | 6-10 |
| Part-time work | 12-18 |
| Full-time study | 25-35 |
| Study + caring duties | 4-8 |
Structure that survived a term
- Two fixed weekday blocks. Same time, same place.
- One long weekend block for the hard subject.
- One empty slot as catch-up. Do not pre-fill it.
- One full day off, no exceptions.
