TIME MANAGEMENT
Almost all of you know the importance of time management. Putting it into practice,
though, is the more difficult part. It is important that you know what your priorities
are! A lot of students find it difficult to manage their time because they cannot
prioritize. One way of doing this is to make a list of all the activities that you
usually do during a week, along with the time you spend per activity, and then arrange
them in the order of importance. There will be some things that you must do each
day, such as eating and sleeping, and these should be at the top of your list of
priorities. Then, there are other optional things that you choose to do, and these
should be lower down your list. Once you’ve compiled this list, it will be
easier for you to see how you’re spending your time, and if you’re spending
too much time one something that is not so important. If you do spend too much time
on something that is unimportant, you need to make changes and spend more time on
something else. There are many other things that you can do to become more efficient
at managing you time. University of Chicago has great sources on time management.
