I read three articles:
The Important Habit of Just Starting,
How to Build a Realistic Study Plan that You'll Actually Stick To, and
11 Ways Unsuccessful People Mismanage their Time. As a naturally very disorganized person, I have adopted time management strategies already, without which I would be a complete train wreck. Although the suggestions in the articles were not new to me, it is nice to have a refresher every once in a while.

I manage my time very efficiently by a) keeping a detailed agenda (pictured above), b) working on my projects in very small chunks, and c) writing down
everything - even things that most people may not have to schedule into their day, like showering or checking the mail. I also divide my planner between class assignments and ongoing projects (on the right half of each day) and other tasks (on the left). In this class in particular, I am not worried about time management, because I will be able to stay on track using the time estimates for assignments, and working far ahead of schedule.
Hi Natalie,
ReplyDeleteI have recently been struggling with time management. There just does not seem to be enough hours in the day where I have energy to be productive! I really do need to get myself an agenda, so I can write everything down. I just need to find the time to actually set one of those up for myself because I am sure they are super handy to have! I could also benefit from working on my projects in more bite-sized pieces instead of all at once. Thanks for the tips!
