Time Management

"Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein."
... H. Jackson Brown

Does it seem like there's never enough time in the day to get everything done ? Feel like you're always running late? Here’s a tip: concentrate on results, not on being busy. Making notes: not sharpening pencils; creating mind maps, not cover pages.

  • Schedule tasks. Figure out how much free time you have each week, Give yourself a time budget and plan your activities accordingly. Work out how much time tasks will take and plan a long term timetable.
  • Find the right time. You'll work more efficiently if you figure out when you do your best work. For example, you can do maths best earlier in the day.
  • Make a "To Do" list every day . Put things that are most important at the top and do them first. Break hard tasks into smaller pieces and do them first.
  • It's okay to say "No." You don’t have to go to every party or join every group. Stick to your priorities.
  • Let others know your schedule. If you keep being interrupted by phone calls, tell your mates that you will only take social calls from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m
  • Use spare minutes wisely. Revise material while waiting to be picked up, or on the bus.
  • Review your notes every day. You'll reinforce what you've learned, so you need less time to study.
  • Get a good night's sleep and eat well. Running on empty makes the day seem longer and your tasks seem more difficult
