Introduction
It is rightly said "Time and Tide wait for none". An individual should understand the value of time for him to succeed in all aspects of life. People who waste time are the ones who fail to create an identity of their own.
My Rational on my first action plan was:
I have poor attitudes towards managing time, such as managing time to study. Developing effective study habits is important as they will help me to use my study time more productively and will also help to handle stress. Therefore, learning some effective memory techniques, developing a good support network and working with other class members will enhance our study habits (Anthony, 2012). So it is important for me to make an action plan about time

Time Management refers to making the best use of time as time is always limited. Time Management plays a very important role not only in organizations but also in our personal lives. (Management Study Guide)
Time Management includes:
1. Effective Planning
2. Setting goals and objectives
3. Setting deadlines
4. Delegation of responsibilities
5. Prioritizing activities as per their importance
6. Spending the right time on the right activity
Effective planning:
Plan your day well in advance. Prepare a To Do List or a "TASK PLAN". Jot down the important activities that need to be done in a single day against the time that should be allocated to each activity. High Priority work should come on top followed by those which do not need much of your importance at the moment. Complete pending tasks one by one. Do not begin fresh work unless you have finished your previous task. Tick the ones you have already completed. Ensure you finish the tasks within the stipulated time frame (Management Study Guide).
Setting goals and objectives:
Working without goals and targets in an organization would be similar to a situation where the captain of the ship loses his way in the sea. Yes, you would be lost. Set targets for yourself and make sure they are realistic ones and achievable (Management Study Guide).
Setting deadlines
Set deadlines for yourself and strive hard to complete tasks ahead of the deadlines. Do not
.Make a plan: plan all the work in advance in a timetable as to not stress about the deadline of the assignment (Sasson,2016).
By managing your time, you could find out good times for you to have you time while not distracting you too much from the task at hand. When making yourself a schedule, you could set aside ten minutes for every hour to take a break and chill before you get back to being productive. You could also get your work done
For getting organized, most students inform us that creating a list of important tasks and appointments can make a huge impact on your life in a positive way. For staying on target, students advise us to keep our focus on completing the tasks and not getting sidetracked by unimportant things. I definitely need to follow this strategy and not procrastinate when it comes to my academics. For setting priorities, successful time management includes determining what is truly important and what can be set aside for later or never. I think that this strategy ties to the previous one of staying on target. For the fourth strategy, taking advantage of free time is something that sounds good, but hard to do for me. I always find myself wasting this time in seeking entertainment instead of completing priorities. Students state that in the course of a day, there are usually a few “down times.” Try grabbing some of those moments and making them productive. As for the final strategy, thinking ahead is something that I am focused on along with the other strategies. For this strategy, all students say that to avoid running out of time in completing demanding tasks, be sure to look ahead. This means that the students want us to know that making plans for the next day or the next week is a key component in time management.
Know how to manage yourself and your time in line with team and organisational goals
These chronic and systematic harms place a heavy burden financially, logistically, and psychologically. With these three components you will first start managing your time by making a list of your daily schedule followed by responsibility for your assignments and matters. Any decision to leave all of your assignments for another time closer to the deadline will only help to accumulate work that you will end up not having enough time to do. Time is a very important resource in life, so you have to manage very wisely.
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.
Staying organized is essential for success. I suggest you use a calendar to keep track of when assignments are due. Use a planner to keep track of your activities and stay organized. Don’t wait until the last minute to complete assignments since that would only add more pressure to your life. It may also affect the quality of your work. Do you think I’m talking from experience?
When I first evaluated myself in the study skill academic test, time management was my weakest skill overall. This was priority in terms of skill development because I would always leave things till the last minute and stress myself out trying to turn in things on time. In order to improve this I made a smart goal to carry out in the beginning of the year. Now after some time, the results of my progression are shown. My smart goal that I created for myself regarding my time management planned out very well, I was able to successfully accomplish a majority of my assignments on time. I would review the material of the week on Monday’s and compile all of the assignments due for the week. The monthly calendar was also a key factor in helping me keep up to date in the month so see what where upcoming tasks the following week. If I needed more clarification on certain tasks then I would login and check the syllabus.
Have you ever had an essay due in three weeks and thought to yourself, “I’ve got time. I’ll just do it later”? Does staying up studying for an exam until 3 am in the morning sound familiar? How about running to class because you were working on a project until the very last second? If any of these unfortunate situations sound relatively familiar, you have endured the horrendous event of procrastination at some point of your jam-packed life. The one secret that nobody is enforcing on your young life is the extreme power of time management. In Chapter 5, the topics we address are as follows:
Time management techniques are essential to living your life more efficiently. Many people spend their days in a frenzy of activity but achieve very little because they are not concentrating on the right things. By using time management skills, you can learn to determine which of the things you do are important, which can be dropped, use your time in the most effective way possible, break down the roadblocks that waste it, and increase the effectiveness.
We always hear people speaking about time management and importance of it. Time management is allocation of time according to importance of work. In another words, allocation of the right quantity of time to the right work is time management. In order to find out the effects that can have the time management on the other variables especially the stress level of peoples, some major studies from 1990 to 2010 have been reviewed.
Now that I have identified the problem and its causes, I need a plan to overcome it and rid it away. Being effective at planning my time ,taking responsibility for developing realistic planning by using my knowledge, finding enough time to do extra activities and practice regularly sport to don’t manage my time poorly any more. By actively managing my time I use my time to create more chances to succeed, thinking flexibly on managing my time like balance between time for work and time for fun.
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
First of all you should stay organized, and stay on top of your own schedule. Things can get really stressful for people if you don’t plan things, have several unexpected events come up, and then you are suddenly running out of time for the other work that you need to do. So if you have your schedule written out not only will you be organized, but you
Before we can manage our time we must know exactly what time is. The dictionary describes it as, the duration of one's life; the hours and days which a person has at his disposal. How we dispose of that time is time management. It's the way we spend our time to organize and execute around our priorities. Remember just because time is intangible doesn't mean that it is not valuable. I want to teach you about the background of time management, the different styles and how to use them, and how it will change your life.
