Stop Where You Are And Start Moving Forward

Numerous of times I have found myself playing video games and thinking I really need to do something but never getting up to actually

Another goal that I have set forth for myself is to make long lasting friendships during my final year in undergrad. Finally, another goal that I have is to limit my spending on foolish things such as fast food. I would love to cook more and incorporate new foods in my taste palette. Overall my time use is congruent with my goals. I feel this way because although I did not spend most of my time doing homework, it came second on my time record sheet. I am proud to say that I spent 21 hours completing my homework assignments. Me taking the time to complete my homework assignments during a week that I felt like I didn’t have much time to complete anything, is self-fulfilling in of its

As the clock strikes 6PM panic invades my mind. This panic is not due to the fact that I must complete an assignment on time because I already finished today’s assignments, but because I just realized that another day will cease to exist without me reading a Stephen King novel, playing video games, watching a movie, or going for a run to take in the sweet spring scented air. Although I am a very organized person, with my calendar and highly detailed to do lists, I still can’t seem to find a way to make my day fit everything I want to do. After writing and editing two sentences it is 6:15PM and I know not much time has passed but the highly predictable anxiety starts to set in every time I look to the clock on my left.

I have always faced various challenges when it comes to managing my time. Some of the challenges I have are procrastination, knowing my priorities, and getting my priorities in order. I am very easily distracted and distractions are what causes me to procrastinate. I will tell myself that I will do something in five minutes, but then those five minutes go by and I tell myself another five minutes and so on. Putting time off is a way of telling myself that my priorities are not

Making a to-do list for daily tasks is also a very crucial part of a student’s time management while in college. They will quickly find out that making a list of what they want or need to get done is wrote down each day. Some students find that it is most useful to make their list in the evening so that it is ready first thing the following day (Steely 2011). When writing their list students need to write the list in order from what they feel is the most important to the least. As each task is completed, it should be marked off. If there is anything still on the list at the end of the day that did not get done it should be added to the list for the following day. It is also a wise idea to put the list in a highly noticeable place. This can be the refrigerator, a tablet, cell phone, or even

In the article in our book, “Planning Sets You Free” it gives a lot of good information on how to remain organized in your life by scheduling, setting goals, and prioritizing. It also talks about how OneNote can assist you with all of this. And you always need to plan, or else your life will end up being a stressful mess. OneNote is great for many things such as brainstorming, setting up vacations with your family, forming ideas, and probably most important for me as well as other college students, organizing our daily activities to fit in our homework. This leads to creating your ABC To-Do List.

It is safe to assume that at any given time, you will struggle to make time for yourself amid your busy schedule. There are too many things to do, places to be, and people to tend to. What ultimately happens is that you end up neglecting the most important person which is YOU.

I tend to get caught putting out fires instead of spending my time on high value opportunities. As an example, while trying to write this section of this paper I have been interrupted and pull off task three times to handle problems which could have been addressed by someone else. In order to successfully budget my time, I see two actions I need to put in place. The first, build daily and weekly to do lists.

#*For instance, you tell yourself “I can’t do it right now. I have too much on my plate.” Challenge this by examining its validity. Can you remove something unimportant from your to-do list to add an important task? With a growth mindset as the focus, reframe the earlier statement to “I can do this if I manage my time better.”https://mindsetonline.com/changeyourmindset/firststeps/

Time, at this point, is what confronts me daily. Prior to this program, I had organized my time to accomplish the tasks that I had before me. Since beginning this program, there are not enough hours in the day. It has been 6 weeks into this program and I am not able to find enough hours. I have delegated responsibilities, cut back on extra activities and it still doesn’t seem like enough.

Balancing what should be done during the week can be challenging; however, I tend to stick to a routine which helps me stay organized. I mainly go to school, dance, do homework, and relax, and my day tends to fall in that order as well. When I do my homework, I tend to work on what is convenient during my other classes, and at home, I tend to work on my homework from easiest to hardest. Additionally, I use my agenda for homework assignments and other school-related events, which is super helpful because writing down what I need to do helps me remember. Also, I use Google Calendar to mark when I do things outside of school because I almost always have my phone with me so Google Calendar is much more accessible than my agenda. When I have longer

This problem affects my work,school,and family life. I think once I start to value time and get in a set schedule my life would run more smoothly. I need to learn how to state what I want and go for it. I would love to start setting goals and keeping them. I always say I'm going to lose weight but I never work for it. I guess you can categorize me as lazy and I really need to change that.

How do you use your time? We all mean well at the beginning of each day, but somehow we get off track and waste so much of it. What stands in your way of using your time wisely?

Being in the military and working 70 hours a week is very stressful. If you tag on going to school and having tests and projects due on a certain day life might even seem overwhelming at times. One of the things i have always been good at is managing my time. I focus on the goals i have set for myself and what needs to be done to accomplish those goals. However, i can’t be studying and working 24/7 so i have to make time to relax and reenergize at the same time.
