Managing your time can be very difficult, especially as a college student. Time management has always been my ultimate problem. I would save all of my assignments for the last minute and quickly throw something together at 12:00am the night before. This lack of time management would inevitably lead to substandard, albeit deserves, grades. Now, however, through hard work and dedication, my time management skills have improved.
This past week I was faced with the task of being sick and having no desire to complete any work. However, I had so much work that was due by the end of the week that finishing it was not even an option. Therefore I had to plan out my schedule accordingly so that I could rest as well as finish my work in a timely fashion. I did this by sorting through my planner for the week and used the ten minute exercise. This enabled me to do some work, pause and watch a TV show until a commercial, and then resume with my work and so forth.
I found this tactic to be very helpful because rather than getting overwhelmed with so much work at once I completed it in a timely fashion and I was also not worried about getting it done on time, because I knew I would. I highly recommend this task to any student who has trouble either starting or completing they’re work on time, because this really helps and brings successful results. Time management not only brings rewards, but it also affords free time without the stress of always worrying about the work to be putting off.
time management was also problem for me, but it gets much better now haha
ReplyDeleteI also really liked the 10- minute exercise. Since I am a procrastinator this allowed me to have a specific amount of time to check my facebook but then know that I had to get back to my work. I will definitely use this in the future! Hope your feeling better!!!
ReplyDeleteI used the 10 minute exercise in the same way! During commercials I always read over notes or read and usually commercials are about 10 minutes so it always works really well.
