1. Start next semester on track and beat procrastination with Leap into Leadership online
We know it’s hard to manage your time while at university. Balancing study, work, volunteering and other responsibilities can be stressful. Before the start of a busy new semester, now is the perfect time to get organised and develop your skills. That’s why Monash has created Time Management and Prioritisation, a free online module for all students. You’ll learn how to stay focused and avoid procrastination, create an effective to-do list and delegate to your team. It only takes about one to two hours to complete the module, and you’ll receive a personalised certificate and resource pack when you finish.
Time Management and Prioritisation is just one module offered in Leap into Leadership Online: a suite of interactive modules you can complete any time, at any stage of your studies. With modules on communication, teamwork, goal-setting and more, there’s plenty of topics to suit you.
Be ready to start next semester on the right track – enrol in “Time Management and Prioritisation” now.
