As a college student, time management is essential in functioning to your fullest potential. For example, if your time management skills are weak, your education, extra circulars, and employment are near impossible to balance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, time management has taken years for me to perfect. However, I want to share a couple of tips that have helped me best manage my time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Set Goals <\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I know it sounds broad, but it is very beneficial. The first step is to set goals, big or small. Each week, I set goals for myself. Typically, on Sundays, I focus on homework assignments, upcoming exams, laundry, or other tasks I want to complete for the week. Set goals that are reasonable and achievable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Prioritize & Create a To-Do List<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a list that ranks tasks and homework assignments from most important to least. For example, if a large project due on Friday, designate time for it starting on Monday. I recommend dividing your list into things to do now and things you can worry about later. Creating a to-do list helps you get right to your tasks, saving time and keeping you on track! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Small Tasks, FIRST<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After setting goals and creating a prioritized list, it’s easy to become overwhelmed with a load of assignments. However, I have found it works best to start with small tasks first. This way, you will ease into your more challenging tasks and have more built-up motivation! Starting right away with small jobs will help save time at the end of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Do ONE thing at a time<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming from a multitasker, I have a terrible habit of trying to manage multiple tasks at once. To an extent, you should complete tasks once at a time. With the exception of possibly starting laundry before you start homework or other similar tasks! Personally, my phone is a large distracting factor while doing homework. I try to convince myself I can text my friends or scroll through Tik Tok while writing a paper, but I prove myself wrong every. time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Overall, time management is a critical element in being successful as a college student. Perfecting time management will assist in completing homework more efficiently, avoid using your phone, and generates more time in your day for fun! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
