Excerpt 'Time-Management Strategies'

Time management has been both not an issue for me and also a very big problem that I have been trying to work on through this semester. This is currently my 3rd semester in college but by far it has been the hardest. I decided that I wanted to ease myself back into school this year after not having a good spring semester last year. I only have 14 credits, but some of those are 1 credit courses for choir ensembles that we learn so much music in and also had a lot of gigs lined up I also knew that I would have to work for a good amount of time from my week I just didn’t know exactly how much because I didn’t know how much money I would need. Well after discovering that I would have to completely pay for all of my own bills out here while going to school I started working on average 35 hours a week for half of September, all month in October, and half of November. I was working so much and I just felt so stressed out. Sometimes I just had to stop doing everything and relax by playing video games or hanging out with people on the occasional day off during the week I would get. I was barely keeping up with everything and I didn’t feel happy at all. I never once felt a release from any of the stressors I was facing and I always felt so behind on work. I felt like I just had to choose which class was my priority for the moment and just focus on that project or study for the midterm that’s coming up that week. Now,

The standard way of thinking about time has it that one should always use their time wisely. Therefore, they’ve been a few stories that depict and describe how to and which way to manage time.

However, if one were to contrast these three stories, they would find that George Woodcock and Tim Kreider have more in common, then Arnold Bennett.

When using time management it is very important to use your time wisely especially when you have a busy life/ time schedule. For example when you are taking notes from a lecture/ professor it’s very important to write down what this means to you, the reason why is because it will help you when it comes to studying. When you are writing down everything he says you are wasting time. I have learned that this strategy is very useful and can save you a ton of time. When the studying time comes set yourself a time limit. The reason why is so that you don’t get burned out and you keep your mind focused at all times. This way when you’re studying you will know exactly what you’re studying because you will be focused the whole time.

There are many different methods as to managing time. In Week 2, I explain many of those as well as methods that I have used. Over the past five weeks, I have used the method of updating my planner as the days go by. I am constantly checking my planner to see what assignment are coming up and when they are due. When I see that an assignment is due on a certain day, I always find time to sit down and work on the assignment days before its scheduled due date.

Managing time wisely is significant in both school and work. It is necessary to set goals and prioritize. Managing your energy is also important because not even the best plans will work if there is no energy to do them. As you can plan to do your homework after a busy day. However, you might be too tired to concentrate and complete your work. To manage your time you need to first get to know your daily schedule. To do so you can use a table that represents your energy level throughout the day, then making a routine based on when you have the most energy as well as you
