TIME MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATION

Students who are pressed for time are often too busy to assess how they are managing it. Some feel that it will take too long develop a plan—planning time may seem better spent on assignments, studying, or catching up on lost sleep. There is also a misconception that time management means documenting your time rigidly and following a robotic routine. Although managing your time does require discipline and an initial investment, it is time well-spent. When you have developed this skill, you will exercise it easily and complete your work more efficiently. A good schedule allows for flexibility and variation—a system which is too regimented can be as problematic as no system at all. You will find the ability to organize yourself translates into managing projects and other responsibilities well too.

Time is a limited resource. How are you using yours?
