When I moved into the Diploma Program from MYP, I had absolutely no idea how to manage my time in order to fit in all the extra necessary work hours. Days always felt much too short and I ended up missing out on a lot of sleep, which only made it harder to concentrate. The way I overcame this problem is that I started to use my time consciously. I started planning how I would use my time the day before, and making to do lists, timetables,etc. I used to struggle because I would wait for obstacles to come my way. Be a successful IB student and think ahead, because the IB is like a dinosaur and it will eat you if you don't do your work ahead of time. Another piece of advice is that you should go to bed early - at least 8 hours of sleep is recommended I think. Don't feel the need to finish everything in one night because it'll just make you less focused and motivated the next day.
