management is to find a balance among all the

things you need and want to do.

example of a

The most important word in

our Time Managementvocabulary is…

“NO”



Before Setting Goals

Have to determine what youvalue

(What is important to you?)

Set priorities

Decide what is most important

What needs to beaccomplished first



Set Goals

Setting time/task goalswill help you define

how you want to liveand what you want toachieve.

Define for yourselfwhat will be long termand short term goals



Making Your Schedule Work Identify your best time of the day.

Study difficult or boring subjects first.

Use the same place to study every time.

Use the library or a location with very little

distractions. Avoid distractions

Use “waiting time” to study

Treat school as a full-time job-www.ucc.vt.edu/lynch/TMTips.htm



Adjust Your Schedule EveryDay

Write out a dailyschedule at thebeginning of

each day.

As you write out

your dailyschedule,assess yourpriorities.



Evaluate Your Schedule

Evaluate schedule in themorning

Again at the end of the day Re-Assess:

a) Is what I’m doing working? If

not what do I need to change?b) Divide larger tasks orprojects into smaller parts orsteps.



Avoidance of doing a task that needs tobe done

Can lead to feelings of guilt,inadequacy, depression and self-doubt

Interferes with academic and personalsuccess

Not a good indicator of what you aretruly capable of

So…..don’t put things off…



It’s a misnomer that our talents make

us a success. They help, but it’s not

what we do well that enables us toachieve in the long run. It’s what we

do wrong and how we correct it that

ensures our long-lasting success.



Summary

Remember, time managementis a skill. You have to use it tolearn it and to get better at it.

Use a weekly schedule toorganize your time, and stick toit!

Write down what you need to doin a task list, prioritize it, andstart immediately! What is well-begun is half-done!
