Managing My Time In High School

There are many roadblocks to successful time management. Three of the biggest time squeezers are family, work, and school. Managing all these things actually begins with prioritizing. You must first focus on getting organized. You can make your life a lot easier by defining where and when everything is. As a result, you will avoid becoming overwhelmed.

Primarily, before I was able to use my time management skill to benefit my academic success as a student at Miami this term, I had to follow certain procedures. The first thing I did in the beginning of this semester was that I created a, To Do, list to help me identify a few items and the reasons for doing them. I create these lists every Sunday to guide me through my weeks of school. The first thing in the list is to make sure I go to sleep on time, so I can wake up on time and arrive on time in class every day. Another method I follow is the daily and weekly planner which helps me writing down my appointments, classes’ times, and meetings’ times on a

The fall months can be a stressful, but rewarding time for me. Being a member of the dance team and marching band often takes up a majority of my time outside of school. Many days of the week, difficult homework assignments were a part of my daily workload; these nights often became tiring and stressful. At times, all these activities imparted a large amount of stress for me, and posed challenged me to be successfully in all activities. In order to succeed through this difficult period, my time management skills were necessary. I learned to prioritize different assignments and projects in order to complete them in a timely fashion by setting long and short term goals. Through my time management skills, I learned that all obstacles, big or small,

For me, being able to manage my time wisely is a must. Every week I have a schedule that I try to stay as close too as possible. The problem is most of the time something happens to throw me off schedule and I find myself playing catch up. If I didn’t have the schedule already in place then I would never get anything done. “ the first step toward more effective time management is to increase awareness of its value” (Lucco, 1994). Time management is a lot easier in my private life because my family understands what I am trying to accomplish. Everyday I start my assignments at 4:30 and finish at 7:30 with no distractions. They understand that if I work during the week we can play on the weekends.

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

Time management is needed in order for me to succeed not only in this course but through my field of study. Before I started school, I already had a tight schedule between my family and work. Since I have decided to go to back to school, I had to rearrange my schedule to put school in the equation. As far as leisure time, I take the time out for that when available. In order for me to meet the course requirements, I have a few time management strategies that I use. The strategies I use are keeping a calendar, organizing and planning, setting boundaries, and sometimes I have to turn down doing things that will put me off schedule. If I am not able to manage my time, I will lose focus on what it is that I am suppose to be doing.

All my daily responsabilities plus adding school to my schedule requires great time management. I use a date book calender to keep track and manage my time. All activites are noted, work schedule, school schedules, kids actiivites, and any other important dates are noted. the calander makes it easy for me to view daily to dos. I also allot specific study and homework time. This time is set aside weekly to concentrate only on my school work without distractions. A balance between work, school, kids, and socializing is

Poor time management affects every area of a person’s life, especially a college student. Time management has always been very challenging for me. Setting aside time to study can be tough when I have a busy schedule. Most nights, my schedule consists of doing laundry, washing dishes, and completing other simple house duties. I try to sit down and focus on homework but those chores that need to be done are in the back of my mind. I have two dogs that are also quite the responsibility. One major responsibility with my dogs is having to take them outside. I live in an apartment, so I have to walk them down stairs instead of being able to just let them out the back door. Another problem is that I work until nine on some nights, so when I finally get home from work, I am too tired to

On one of my first formal teacher evaluations, my principal noted that he wanted me to work on time management. Many years later, I still occasionally struggle with this. I tend to overplan my class periods and overestimate my students abilities to transition and complete activities. This challenge is especially apparent when I am leading community circles.

The time during elementary and high school can present challenges for many people, including those of different races and ethnicities from that which is perceived to be normal. Since race and ethnicity have visual characteristics that accompany them it may be one of the easiest avenues for people to use as a bias. One such person who faced some of these difficulties was my friend, Glenn, who I met at a leadership camp one summer. I recently had the opportunity to speak with Glenn over the phone and inquire more about how his race and ethnicity effected his schooling.

I am very organized in managing my time effective. Time management has been a goal for me since the age of 9. I was thought to set goals and work to over achieve them at all times. It all started when my mom would inform me of my daily duties in the morning and would always check to ensure they are completed before I go to bed. I then developed the skills of how to manage other task including helping my younger sister and cousin with their

How I manage time is a reflection of what I value. Managing my time corresponds to how successful I will be in college and throughout life. Knowing and setting priorities to meet goals, carrying out plans, taking control of time, and staying focused are some events that are involved with time management. For many of us, balancing school with work and family is the greatest challenge involved with prioritizing. Good advance planning will help in meeting these challenges. Staying focused is usually difficult, especially for first-year students. Staying focused entails remembering and dedicating to the most important purpose for being in college. Sacrificing unnecessary commitments and keeping my

One skill that is important to gain for one’s future is time management. Unfortunately, this was not a skill that I developed until I was in high school. In middle school, I was horrible at turning in assignments on time, and when I did get them turned in, they were not completed to the best of my ability. In those years, I was a big time procrastinator. My parents were very worried for my future education and pleaded for me to try harder in school. Finally in high school, I learned the importance of time management. Surprisingly, I learned this mainly through band class, although my other classes did lend a hand in helping me. Band class taught me the importance of time management by teaching me an appropriate way to balance school work, band practices, and free time. When I first began band in high school, I was overwhelmed with all the work that was put on

What would make a student fail a class? There are many reason why someone could fail.

Time management is the key thing of successful. I am not good in managing time because I don’t organize my study time carefully and not use my time wisely during work. I always leave everything until the last minute, and sometimes I do unimportant things like playing games, surfing internet and watching movie, but actually I know there a lot of work to finish off. I get to the bottom of this crisis and try to systematize my study and set up my work. I make a schedule of revision, and I put a date where I need to complete the schoolwork. I also make a small target, for example, I want to understand the concept of heat transfer by the end of this week, and I have to achieve it no matter what. I
