Time management is nothing but common sense. I do well in
school, so I must be managing my time effectively.
No matter what
I do, I wont
have enough
time!
It takes all the fun out of
life!!!
Time

work better under
pressure.

Being
successful doesnt
make you manage your time
well.
Managing
your time well
makes you successful.
Simply, making the most of your time and energy!
It is managing ourselves in relation to time. It is setting
priorities and taking charge of situation and time
utilization.
The most overlooked aspect of time management is your energy level.
Evaluate your energy level at different times of day.
Schedule tasks when you have the energy level to match.
If you are a morning person, seize the early hours
to study and do assignments that require focus.
If you are an evening person, make sure that you
are being productive and not sacrificing sleep for extra
hours to socialize.
Losing sleep is the easiest way to sabotage your energy level!
TIME
MANAGEMENT
Use Schedules
Schedules help us organize and plan our time. Schedules also keep us on track by
reminding us where we need to be or what we planned to do at a particular
time. Schedules help us plan our work and they help us work our plan! They
help us reduce the amount of procrastination we engage in!
Campus (and other) bookstores sell several different kinds of organizers, some
of which are spiral bound, some of which are rather costly, some of which
are electronic. It doesnt matter what kind of organizer you have or how
much you paid for it. The important thing is that you USE it to plan and
manage your time.
Use the forms that follow to create your
schedule.
Record due dates and test dates
Record holidays and vacations
Record birthdays, social events,
appointments, study time, etc.
SCHEDULING
When making your schedule, be sure to . . .
Prioritize!!
THEN . . .
Write in class times
Write in medical, dental, and other appointments
Write in work times
Write in your social, civic, and religious activities
Write in tests and quizzes
Write in study time (this does not mean that you study ONLY at these
times, but utilize the stray 10 or 15 minutes you find to study, too!)
If you like to see a month at a glance on a rather large scale, try
using a desk or wall calendar in addition to the electronic
organizer or planner/scheduler you carry with you.
WHEN MAKING A SCHEDULE, BE SURE TO
Prioritize
To prioritize is to rank in order of importance beginning with most
important
Use your day planner (or the schedule form included in this module)
Beginning with the most
important, write in:
Classes
Assignments
Study time
Organization time
Work responsibilities
Social obligations
Fun time
WHEN MAKING A SCHEDULE, BE SURE TO
Plan Study Time
Whenever possible, study during
the day
Quickly review material after
class
Set small goals & deadlines for
big projects
Distribute work on big
projectsspread it out
Plan blocks of time to study

Schedule Time for YOU!
The life of a college student is a BUSY life. Keep healthy, happy, and relatively stressfree by scheduling time for yourself!
Exercise
Eat healthy foods
SLEEP! ( Dont overdo
it!)
Cultivate friendships
Stay connected to family
Stay connected to
community, church, or
other organizations
Practice the art of intelligent neglect.
Procrastination
Procrastination is the
thief of time
Edward Young
Night Thoughts, 1742
Balancing Act
Work expands so as to
fill the time available
for its completion
Parkinsons Law
Cyril Parkinson, 1957
Avoiding Procrastination
Doing things at the last minute is much
more expensive than just before the last
minute
Deadlines are really important: establish
them yourself!
Final Words
Keep track of your time by examining how you spend it.
Focus on your priorities but keep your goals in mind.
Planning your work is important, but be sure to work your
plan!
Be sure to utilize rehearsal strategies as well as a study
system to get the most from in-class and out-of-class time
Distribute your study! Regular short study sessions have
proven to be much more effective than cramming sessions!
Work to achieve your goals. Change strategies if and when
necessary.
Minimize stress by making sure you have time for yourself!
