I find it helps hugely when I go back I feel sharp on the concepts discussed and a lot of the time I'm a touch ahead of the class just because I reviewed my notes and tested my knowledge. The comment on setting a personal, I agree Martin that a personal goal helps not only to reduce stress earlier but it also gives you extra time to think of little extras to add or small corrections to make. Simply reading over a paper could reveal a few little errors which can be corrected easily a few days later... Whereas if you are writing and editing on the same night before deadline as happens with most students you end up with a shoddy piece of work.

She has just finished a Masters Degree and one of her tips is to set a personal deadline for a piece of work. For example, her main study project needed handing in at the end of July, so she set a deadline to finish and hand in by the end of June. That technique purposefully tries to get rid of the task expanding for no reason. It worked gloriously for her and the stress disappeared a whole month early! I really like the four suggestions you've given. Looking forward to the next set! My wife believes the same as you that tasks expand to fill the time allotted.
