Time Management
12
Time is the scarcest resource and unless it
is managed, nothing else can be managed.
Peter Drucker Author, Professor and Philosopher
of modern management
13

• Time Management is a life-long skill.
• With the good time management habits you develop
  now, you will be able to apply to your life
  beyond college. You will be able to apply time
  management strategies to your career, personal
  goals and family life.
• If you learn to think about your time in a
  meaningful way now, you will be able to reflect
  and grow with your time management philosophy as
  your life changes and grows.
• Time Management is empowering
• through time management
• you will take control of your time.

14
How to get started

• Keep a planner and keep track of events such as
  due dates for papers, projects, presentations and
  tests.
• How to choose a good planner
• A planner to support student success should have
• a yearly calendar
• a monthly schedule
• a daily schedule
• room for to-do lists notes
• and a pocket to use as a temporary filing
  system.
• You should also have all important academic dates
  in your planner (start of classes, last day to
  drop a class, midterms,etc.).
• See the Academic Calendar for important dates.

15

• Make thinking about your time a priority.
• Planning out a schedule takes time but it can
  save you time in the long run.
• At the end of your day, review your schedule
  for the following day. If there was anything
  you did not accomplish, make sure you add it to
  the next days schedule or schedule it for
  another day soon.
• In the morning, review your schedule again.
• Make a to-do list for the day.
• Carry your planner with you and
• refer to it throughout the day.

16

• Build a weekly schedule.
• Take into account
• class time
• study time
• work
• co-curricular activities
• and down time.
• Build in time to take advantage of academic
  services
• meetings with tutors
• going to the Writing Center
• going to Student Academic Counseling, etc.

17
Create daily to-do lists.

• Identify priority levels.
• On your to-do list categorize your activities by
  importance. You can use numbers or any other
  symbols that work for you.

Make travel plans. On your to-do list think
about the different classes, offices or buildings
across campus you need to visit. Can you group
your to-do items into clusters by location so
that you dont waste time going back to the same
location twice?
18
Be flexible.

• Even if you plan your time very well, there will
  be some days in which unexpected changes cause
  you to make adjustments. Leave room in your
  schedule for the unexpected. Dont leave anything
  to the last minute because if the unexpected does
  happen (your printer breaks or you lose class
  notes) you may not have time to recover.

19
Avoid Saying Yes When You Dont Have the Time

• The president of your club asks you to take on a
  new responsibility or a friend asks you to cover
  her shift at work
• First, think before you respond.
• Assess what kind of impact this new
  responsibility will have on your schedule.
• If it will take you way from the time you
  need to study, politely decline.

Click on the box that best completes the
following statement.

• If your estimated number of hours of activity
  exceeds the total number of hours in a week, you
  should
• cut back on the number of hours you use for
  personal needs like relaxing, sleeping,
  grooming and eating.
• consider dropping one or more of your courses.
• prioritize your activities then see if you can
  spend less
• time on the activities with low
  priority.

  texting on your phone or studying while
  responding to emails).

22

• cut back on the number of hours you use for
  personal needs like relaxing, sleeping, grooming
  and eating.

maintain a healthy lifestyle. You should not cut
back on these personal needs as they are
imperative to your good health.

• Incorrect
• This is not the best answer. While multitasking
  may save you some time, it is not a good idea to
  text message or answer emails while studying or
  reading. Try to limit your distractions as much

Answer the following question by clicking on the
appropriate box below.

• Are you a transfer student?

Yes
No
27
Transfer Shock

• Many transfer students indicate that acclimating
  to a new
• campus environment is an overwhelming experience.
  
• Adjusting to new social, psychological, and
  academic
• demands can be challenging.
• In fact, the term transfer shock is often used
  to describe a
• temporary dip in a transfer students grade point
  average
• during his or her first semester.

Research suggests Although many transfer
students do indeed experience transfer shock,
most students are able to improve their grade
point average within a year of transferring.
(Diaz, 1992) (Hills, 1965) (Laanan, 2001).
28
UNC-Chapel Hill Offers Many Programs to Help
Transfer Students Succeed

Work and Financial Responsibilities
31
Working

• Working while attending college can be very
  challenging.
• There are many advantages to working while in
  college. You can gain invaluable experience and
  responsibility that may help you after
  graduation.
• Many students simply have to work while in
  school.
• The key is to find the number of hours you can
  work while still having enough to time to perform
  academically. This number can be different for
  every student. For some students, working 15
  hours per week is the maximum they can work
  before their academics start to suffer. Other
  students can work several hours more some can
  only work 5 hours per week.

32
Create a budget. Stick to it! Refer to it
often.
What can I do?

• Find the right job.
• One that understands you are a student first and
  that can offer you the flexibility you need.
• Resources on campus
• Scholarships Student Aid can help you apply
  for aid, work study and scholarships.
• University Career Services can help you find a
  part-time job.
• Counseling Wellness Services can help you
  manage stress that may be associated with your
  financial issues.

33
Make Budgeting a Priority
What are you paying for? Is there any way to
cut back on your expenses? Can you reduce the
money you are spending on non-essentials such as
social activities, dinners, movies, coffee,
clothing, music, etc.?c.?
34
Answer the following question by clicking on the
appropriate box below.

• Are you working 20 hours
• or more per week?

Yes
No
35
While Attending College
Working
36
It is NOT recommended that any full-time student
work a full-time job.
Full-time Student Status

• 15 credits is considered a
• full-time course load.
• The time you spend in class combined with the
  time you spend studying should be equivalent to a
  full-time job.
• Just as you would find it very difficult to work
  2 full-time jobs, you should not try to be a
  full-time student with a full-time job.

37
What if I need to work a full-time job?

• Examine your perceived need to work.
• Many students have to work to pay for
• tuition, books and/or living expenses.
• Make a list of your expenses
• to determine exactly how much
• money you need and, subsequently,
• how much you need to work.

38
Use Time Effectively

• Dont overestimate how many hours you need to
  work to have enough money to cover your expenses.
  You may be able to pay your bills while working
  fewer hours.
• Save money during the year when you are not in
  school. Working extra hours during the summer and
  winter break can be an excellent opportunity to
  save for expenses during the rest of the year.
• If you still find that you need to work
  full-time,
• you may consider going to school part-time.

Remember if you drop down to part-time you must
stay at part-time status for at least 2 fall
and/or spring semesters.
39
Are you paying for other people?

• Some students send money home to family members.
  Others pay for items for friends, boyfriends or
  girlfriends. These situations can be very
  stressful, difficult, and ultimately, detrimental
  to your education.
• If you are paying for other people, reexamine
  your responsibilities and relationships to
  others. You may not be able to financially help
  other people in your life right now.
• As difficult as it may be, acknowledge that this
  is your opportunity to be in college to gain an
  education that will help you for the rest of your
  life. In actuality, it is a very short period of
  time (only 4 years).

For some students, paying for other people or
sending money home is an unavoidable reality and
a fixed obligation. If this is the case, you
may want to talk to a counselor in Counseling
and Wellness Services about setting limits
without choosing one over the other. With a
counselor, you can develop strategies to
balance work, school and family obligations.

Academic Success
41
Tips for Academic Student Success

• Prepare for class. Arrive on time for all classes
  and know your professors name. Complete class
  reading before the class.
• Get to know your peers. Have a friend in each
  class you can call if you are absent or would
  like to study with someone.
• Get to know your professors. Visit your
  professors during office hours and ask questions
  before, during and after class.

42
Helpful Hint Come to class prepared with at
least 2 questions from the reading. Try to ask
at least one question every class.
43

• Go to class. This may seem obvious but nearly all
  students are tempted to skip a class at one point
  or another. Even if you are in a very large
  lecture course, you should go to every class.
  Professors often go over information in class
  that may not be covered in the reading and that
  youll need to know. Also, class participation is
  essential to your learning!
• Seek a balance. You have many exciting social and
  academic opportunities at the university. It is
  important that you participate in both but seek a
  balance.
• Utilize university resources. Resources such as
  the Writing Center and Learning Center were
  specifically designed with you in mind! If you
  just go to class and go home, you are not making
  the most of your college education.
• Experiment. Do not box yourself into one academic
  discipline particularly, if you are struggling
  academically. Dont be afraid to take classes in
  an area you never considered studying before.
• Dont be afraid to change your mind. Most
• students change their major at least once.
• Just because you came to college wanting to
• study Business, that doesnt mean you cannot
• choose a different major now that you are here.

44

• Helpful Hint
• Make a schedule that allots not just for time in
  class but time outside of class to study.
• Also, schedule your down time and stick to it.
  If a social event comes up during your study time
  try to reschedule the event or attend a different
  event during your scheduled down time.

45

• Expect to be challenged!
• Then plan accordingly.
• Many students come to Carolina from high schools
  or community colleges in which they were top of
  their class. They may not be used to having to
  study so much or work so hard to achieve top
  grades.
• Many students at Carolina experience this. Keep
  in mind that all students must work hard and
  devote a lot of time to their studies at Carolina
  regardless of their past experiences.
• Schedule regular study times for each week.
• Carefully examine your syllabus to plan extra
  time for studying or writing when you have a test
  or assignment due.

Have you ever heard the expression the big fish
in the small pond becomes the small fish in the
big pond?
46

• Have high expectations. Set goals for yourself
  and take pride when you meet these goals. If you
  fall short, do not berate yourself. Reflect on
  the situation and determine how you can be
  successful next time.
• Dont feel pressured to make
• a hasty decision about your
• major or career.
• Take responsibility. This is your
• time and your education. It is up
• to you what you make of it so,
• take responsibility for your actions
• and make informed decisions.

• Why is it essential to attend every class even
  in large lecture courses?
• Professors often go over information in class
  that may not be covered in the reading.
• Class participation is essential to your
  learning.
• Professors may make announcements during class
  updating or changing the syllabus.

• - Carl Rogers, Psychologist

55
Study Skills

• Study Skills involve activities both
• inside class and outside of class. They
• include, but are not limited to
• Reading effectively
• Studying independently
• Studying in groups
• Participating in class
• Taking lecture notes
• Taking notes from reading
• You should utilize multiple ways of learning. Do
• not simply rely on one way of learning
  information
• (i.e. listening to class lectures). Support your
  learning by approaching the material from many
  different ways from notes, group discussions,
  readings, lab work etc.

56
In class

• To help avoid distractions, sit near the front
  of the class. You're less likely to miss
  something important and there are fewer
  distractions.
• Listen actively
• Pay attention to the other professor's body
  language, facial expression and tone of voice
  these are all part of the message.
• Don't let yourself be distracted by unimportant
  noises or interruptions.
• Ask questions.
• If something is initially unclear, dont give
  up. Stay focused and continue taking notes. You
  can ask the professor for clarification after
  class or during office hours.

Studying

• Make a list of what you intend to study,
  prioritize the list, and stick to it!
• Have everything needed for study handy
  beforehand. Don't waste valuable time looking for
  books, notes or other information.

57
Reading

• Take an active approach to reading. Read with a
  pen in your hand.
• Take notes, write down questions, highlight,
  underline, etc.
• When reading, be alert to bold or italicized
  print. Also, read everything including tables,
  graphs and illustrations. Often tables, graphs
  and illustrations can convey ideas more
  powerfully than written text.
• Get the main idea. Getting the main idea in
  reading is central to effective studying. You
  must learn what the author's central idea is, and
  understand it in your own way. Every paragraph
  contains a main idea. Find the main idea in each
  paragraph you read then write it down in the
  margin.

58
Recite
When you recite, you stop reading periodically to
recall what you have read. Recall main
headings, important concepts presented in bold or
italicized type and what graphs charts or
illustrations indicate. Try to develop an
overall concept of what you have read in your own
words.
Try to connect things you have just read to
things you already know.

Taking care of others/Taking care of yourself

• College is a precious time.
• It is time for your growth, learning and
  development.
• Taking care of others (family members, friends,
  girlfriend or boyfriend) can take away from the
  time that you have to focus on your academics.
• Make clear boundaries and stick to them.
• Make time for yourself.
• Help others but not by sacrificing yourself.
• If necessary, explain to family and friends the
  importance of your education as well as the time
  and resources you need to devote to it.
• Make a commitment to yourself.
• Make choices for yourself not to please others.
• This can be very difficult. Many students feel
  pressure from parents or other family majors to
  major in a particular discipline or follow
  particular career paths. You will perform best in
  a major and a career you choose for yourself.
• Students often find it helpful to talk to a CWS
  counselor about balancing taking care of others
  with taking care of themselves.
