Time Management

Time Management

Do you take on more activities than you have time for?
 Do you feel like the deck is stacked against you? 

The first step in time management is to decide how much time it will take to:
  • Go to school (class and lab time)
  • Job time
  • Family and/or social time
  • Time for rest and sleep
After deciding how much time is pent on each of these area, you should have a better idea of where you 24 hours of the day goes.  If the total of these 4 activities exceeds more than 24 hours something has to give.  Social time and activities are usually the first area to cut.  Cut back where and when necessary.
