Time Management Tips for CA Students

Here are some practical time management tips tailored specifically for CA students like you:


📅 1. Plan Daily, Weekly, and Monthly

  • Daily: Every night, plan the next day’s topics + time slots.
  • Weekly: Set broader goals (e.g., “Finish Audit Chapter 3 by Sunday”).
  • Monthly: Track progress with a bigger view (e.g., syllabus to complete in x days).

Tip: Always keep a little “buffer time” daily for spillovers.


⏳ 2. Follow the 50-10 Rule

  • Study 50 minutes, break for 10 minutes.
  • Helps maintain focus and prevents burnout.
  • In breaks, stretch, walk, or just breathe — avoid getting into reels or deep scrolling!

🧠 3. Prioritize Smartly

  • Start your day with the subject you find most difficult.
  • Keep lighter, revision-based subjects for night time when energy is lower.

📚 4. Mix Heavy + Light Topics

  • Don’t schedule only tough chapters in a day.
  • Example: AFM (Heavy) + Audit Standards (Light) = perfect balance.

🔄 5. Revision Cycles

  • Plan 3–4 revisions minimum before exams.
  • Use techniques like active recall (close the book, try to write everything you remember).

🕯️ 6. Morning vs Night Energy

  • Know your best time: Morning person vs Night owl.
  • Since you’re a night owl (you told me before 😉), schedule heavy work late evening to night.

🧹 7. Avoid “Fake Productivity”

  • Highlighting books ✍️, organizing notes, searching study material endlessly = looks busy, but not real studying.
  • Always ask: Am I actively solving, writing, recalling, understanding?

📲 8. Manage Distractions

  • Airplane mode during study blocks.
  • Use apps like Forest or Focus To-Do if you need extra help staying off your phone.

✍️ 9. Track and Reflect

  • Maintain a simple diary or Notion page:
    What worked today? What didn’t? How to fix tomorrow?
  • Tiny 2-minute reflections can boost your improvement like crazy.

🏃‍♂️ 10. Momentum > Motivation

  • Waiting to feel “motivated” is risky.
  • Start small. Even 5 mins of serious focus leads to 30 mins. Just START.
