Time Management

By Gerardo Alfaro



Time management is something of huge importance for almost anyone, and it is something which many people consider to be hard to achieve as you need skills in order to do so, skills which you obtain mostly through practice. Therefore the first months are the hardest, and for college students this might translate to the first semester or even the second semester. This can be very detrimental for college students because the first two semester hold great importance. It can have an effect on a students self esteem as poor time management can lead to poor academic yield. Furthermore it can hurt a students GPA which can then lead to a lose of a scholarship or it can make it even harder for them obtain one, which in turn can harm their ability to obtain a higher education.

Time management does not mean that students should dedicate all of their time to academic work, it means that students need to find time to dedicate to studying as well as time for them, so that they can relax, leisure time. This is crucial because students need to unwind in order to be yield effectively.

An effective tool towards time management is keeping a planner, in which the things to do are written, and time is allocated for each. This way students are less likely to do their work the night before and by allocating a little time each day students will have time for themselves as well as finding the work as less burdening for them. It takes practice and self discipline but it is definitely worth it.
