Time Management Strategies

 Thoughts about time management strategies💫

Managing time across the whole week or weeks on college work might not be easy for some people but we gotta learn how to evenly spread the work across the week in a suitable time.

Lets just say the time we put into doing our homework in secondary is nothing compared to the work we are doing right now in college, I do not know about you guys but the time I did my homework in secondary school was either in school, in the class given or I didn't do it at all well that was depending on the teacher I had (some didn't make sense). Me doing homework was all over the place morning, afternoon, night. But now that I have gotten to college managing my time with my homework is very important because with these 5 modules I have a lot of work comes out of it especially with projects and assignments.

Reading this article called "11 ways unsuccessful people mismanage their time" - By Áine Cain. Saying Some are naturally good at managing their time. Others learn. A few people scrape by due to luck. And then there are the messes among us. The thing is, time management can help determine our success. It's important to avoid certain behaviours that will doom your entire schedule. And I have learned a few ways of how not to avoid mismanaging your time with work. 

• They don't schedule - You have to schedule out your week with your work because it keeps you on record and you would most likely get everything done, and if you do not do this your going to end up wasting time and forget to complete some things.

• They get distracted easily - Some people are unable to focus on the task, which will end in some pretty terrible time management decisions. Find a way to stay focused like working in a quieter place or plugging in earphones with music.

• They don't set goals - Setting goals keep you on track, working towards something is good even if you don't fully complete it all.

Another thing I saw in a different article called "3 Steps to Recapture Time" - By Joynicole Martinez. High achievers often have feelings of guilt that invade their thoughts when they use the two letter word. The Art of No requires understanding when to say it, why you’re saying it, and how to say it.

Refuse to Stop your 1st 15 minutes, 3 things you should do:

• Meditate/Relax for 5 minutes. You cannot plan a something without a destination. If you’d never been there, you would at least find a photo or imagine the destination.

• Identify the tasks you must complete to arrive at your ‘end of day’ destination. 

• Chunk it. Break each task into 3-4 steps. Deliberately and specifically identify any resources, people, emails or contacts you need to complete each step. 

Those two articles I just read where somewhat helpful hopfully they will help you to with your management and time.

Thanks for reading guys :)
