Attendance may also have an impact on my ability to study this is because at my work place there is no flexible working policy available. As well as this my ward manager is unsupportive in allowing time off for attending the college based study or changing shifts where needed. One factors that may have a negative effect on implementing an effective study plan is finding time to seeing my family, friends and boyfriend. I usually help look after my younger brother who has Asperger's once a week, so that my mam can get her planning for work and shopping done more easily.

Based on what I have recently learned and know from experience, I have also devised a structured plan for improvement of time management and study skills.
