Time management

8 of 10

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time.—classes, homework and activities—with some family help. Colleges give you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that is a good thing since most jobs require multi-tasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrows produce while planning next week’s menu.

Someone said, “Wherever you are be there.” Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrate on the moment at hand. You can’t go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it is NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.

Although very few students love homework, it does serve a purpose. Homework helps you:

·         What you have learned during the day

·         Build study habits that are essential in college

·         Prepare for your classes

·         Get a sense of progress.

Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently.

·         Set the mood.

·         Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculator).  If you don’t have a quiet place at home, try your school or local library.

·         Know where to begin

·         Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to worry about them in the end.

·         Study at the same time everyday

·         Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine you will approach it with less dread. Also you will become a pro at using time productively
