9. TIME MANAGEMENT

 EVER WISH YOU COULD TURN BACK TIME?

It can be very difficult and extremely stressful for students that are trying to organise their time to keep up-to-date with daily routines, social activities and most importantly college work.

I went back to college this year having been out of college for a few years and I found it very difficult adjusting to the new routine of making time to spend on assignments, prioritising what needed to be done first whilst also maintaining my prior activities before I started college.

However, there is a solution......................

The most important key to effective time management is being your own boss, instructing yourself to deliver the work at the pace that's suitable for you whilst also making sure it's completed for the date assigned. A useful phrase to remember is, "If it is to be, it is up to me"!

"Time Management Help.Com" is a website I found which provides useful tips for students on time management. I will outline these tips below but for more detailed information click the website link.

1) Keep your long term goals insight.

2) Schedule everything you know about.

3) Start tomorrow at the end of today.

4) Work your plan.

5) Do the tough stuff first.

6) Break things down to the ridiculous.

7) Rules were made to be bent.

8) There's always tomorrow. :)

I found a useful video on time management which provides step by step instructions, why don't you check it out.

 

By using these tips as guidelines you should find that a structured routine will develop, consequently your work load shouldn't feel as stressful and most importantly your college work will be completed on TIME ! :)
