Term Calendar

- Write in major academic events of the term:
exams, projects
- Important personal events

Decide How to Use Your Time

Manage Your Goals
• Successful students have a very clear idea of what it is they want to get accomplished.
• Write out long range goals on paper.
• Answer two important questions:
1. Why am I attending college?
2. What do I hope to achieve by the time I graduate?
![Page 24: Tune ur time](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55517d37b4c9057e458b5350/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Manage Your Goals
• Write out as many goals as you like initially.
• Then review them and choose your five most important goals.
• This can be easy or difficult depending on how much you have already thought about why you are in college and what you intend to get out of it.
![Page 25: Tune ur time](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55517d37b4c9057e458b5350/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Setting Your Goals

Achieving Balance
• Need Leisure, exercise, activities of one kind or another.
• Information and satisfaction coming in is as important to time management as production that goes out.
• While in college academic goals should be at the top of your list. Other goals may include volunteering, exercise, or athletics. Also includes joining new organizations or making new friends.
• As with you other time management tools, post goals where you can easily see them.
