How To Solve Time Management Problems
April 27, 2016
College can make timing and planning things out very hard to do sometimes. So, here is a list that will hopefully be able to help you out the next time you need to make room for something or even clear up your schedule.
- Take all your classes back to back so you don’t have huge blocks of time where you end up doing nothing while waiting for your next class.
- Go to class. You learn faster and easier. This just means you know it so you don’t have to study as much when that test comes.
- Find out what time is the best for you to study. Some like to study at 7 a.m. and others at 7 p.m., but just remember to get enough sleep.
- DO NOT PROCRASTINATE! Everyone does it, especially in college but try to get your work done on time. It’s a stress reliever not worrying.
- Divide and conquer things like projects or big papers. Do small parts of the assignment at a time then put it all together when each is done.
- Don’t extend your breaks. There are things like Christmas break and spring break for a reason. Get back to work and finish faster!
- Make checklists for pretty much anything and everything so you can stay organized. It gives you a sense of accomplishment checking it off.
- Prioritize. Do you really need to go to that party when you have tons of work? Think about what is really the most important to do first.
- Make sure your schedule is flexible. You never know what can happen so be ready for the unexpected. Have backup plans for everything.
- We may not associate it with managing time but stay healthy. Eating and sleeping right gives you energy for the day to get things done.
- Work hard. Play hard. Make some time for relaxation and fun when you’ve completed what you needed to. Think of it as a small reward.
- Try new ways of doing things because you may find that something works better than what you have been doing.
