To ease your transition into university life, we've compiled some time management tips to help lighten your load.
Time Management in Studies
Starting university brings freedom. Unlike in high school or vocational school, not all lectures have compulsory attendance, and no one ensures that you complete your work on time. Therefore, university studies are very independent, and you are responsible for yourself and your learning. Although lectures may not be mandatory, attending them makes learning much easier.
Make sure to leave time for leisure alongside your studies. Finding a balance between these two aspects of life allows you to make the most of both. But how can you find this balance?
Calendar and Scheduling to Support Studies
Course schedules can vary greatly, so it's essential to familiarize yourself with them and mark important dates in your calendar. Unfinished assignments tend to pile up towards the end of the semester, so it's advisable to start necessary tasks early to avoid deadlines looming over you. This way, you can also leave to enjoy various events guilt-free without worries.
To make the task easier, you can, for example, maintain a to-do list where you can list your daily tasks, such as "read topic area of course X" or "complete exercise task for course Y." Well-planned is half done!

A Good Wristwatch Serves the Student in Many Ways
Okay, here we might be a bit biased – but – the importance of a wristwatch on a student's wrist cannot be underestimated. In a hectic freshman fall, learning the new study environment takes time, so time must be allocated for transitions between lecture halls. Therefore, it's good to be aware of the time. However, a wristwatch brings a completely different practicality to even such a mundane matter as taking out your phone – time is quite handy to be read directly from your wrist with just a glance.
In addition to telling the time, a wristwatch also reduces the temptation to browse your phone during a lecture when you don't need to take it out, and the lock screen notifications don't distract you. Thus, teaching doesn't go by unnoticed, at least if you have a traditional analog wristwatch. In university studies, a traditional wristwatch also allows you to check the time during a written exam without relying on a clock on the exam room wall – if there even is one. This way, you can use the necessary time for tasks without the time suddenly running out.
The ultimate purpose of a wristwatch is to tell the time, but it is also much more. A stylish wristwatch serves its wearer in many ways. It completes any outfit, and it can even help forge new friendships as a conversation starter. It also brings joy long after graduation when the watch is well taken care of.

What Kind of Wristwatch is Suitable for a Student?
When you're buying a wristwatch for your academic journey, the most important thing is that the watch serves you best and fits your budget. Students can spend unexpectedly large amounts of money on living expenses, whether it's rent, car maintenance, or hobbies. Therefore, it's not recommended to get the most expensive watch possible, even if you can afford it. At Havu, we have combined first-class Finnish design, high-quality materials, and affordable prices.
Back to School doesn't have to mean going back to the same old accessories. A trendy wooden wristwatch fits the new autumn winds perfectly. Read more on our blog about how the HAVU wooden watch is the perfect accessory for all kinds of outfits.
