Time Management Tips

• Create a schedule or Things To Do list in which
  you can write down all of the things you need to
  do for the day or for the week. Use a diary to
  show the different times that you have to do
  things at.
• Learn to prioritise all of your tasks-put the
  most important things to do first on your list
  and the not so important things afterwards. If
  you have things to do that are at set times of
  the day then you obviously need to consider this.
• 3. Learn to say no! If you are unable to do
  something for somebody, either arrange to do it
  another time or kindly let the person know that
  your schedule is full.

YOU ARE IN CONTROL!
After scheduling becomes a habit, then you can
adjust it. It's better to be precise at first. It
is easier to find something to do with extra time
than to find extra time to do something.
Most importantly, make it work for you. A time
schedule that is not personalized and honest is
not a time schedule at all.

Time Management Survey
The following survey shows the amount of time you
spend on various activities. When taking the
survey, estimate the amount of time spent on each
item. Once you have this amount, multiply it by
seven. This will give you the total time spent on
the activity in one week. After each item's
weekly time has been calculated, add all these
times for the grand total. Subtract this from
168, the total possible hours per week.

for the college student. If you miss important
appointments and deadlines you will cause
complications to both your academic and social
lives. This causes anxiety, frustration, guilt,
and other nasty feelings. Now that you have
learnt something about how to manage your time,
try it for your own schedule and see how you get
on. ALL THE BEST!
