The goal of time management

is to find a balance among all the things you

all the things you need need and

want to do.

What’s the 1st step in managing your

time?

Types of events worth noting in

your planner:

 Classes

 Professors office hours and contact info

 Due dates for papers, projects, presentations, etc

 Test and quiz dates

 Meetings:

 Advising or mentor meetings

 SI or Tutoring

The most important word in

our Time Management

vocabulary is…

“NO”

Before Setting Goals

 Have to determine what you value

(What is important to you?)

 Set priorities

 Decide what is most important

 What needs to be accomplished first

Set Goals

• Setting time/task goals will

help you define how you want

to live and what you want to

achieve.

• Define for yourself what will

be long term and 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

Adjust Your Schedule Every Day

• Write out a daily

schedule at the

beginning of each day

• As you write out your

daily schedule, assess

your priorities

Evaluate Your Schedule

• Evaluate schedule in the morning

• 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 or projects into smaller parts or steps

• Avoidance of doing a task that needs to be done

• Can lead to feelings of guilt, inadequacy,

depression and self-doubt

• Interferes with academic and personal success

• Not a good indicator of what you are truly 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 to

achieve in the long run It’s what we do wrong and how we correct it that ensures our

long-lasting success.
