Time Management
Introduction
The main concern of students on campus is that they
have a lot of things to do and not much time in hand. Some students juggle a
lot of things at the same time which include part-time work, studying for
various subjects, finishing homework, extra-curricular activities, campus
events, etc. As a matter of fact, a lot of students lack time management
skills, which does not help me, succeed towards achieving their academic goals.
The following suggestions should help students like me improve their time-management skills to better handle the academics.
Students need to divide their work into three categories mainly studying,
working and having fun. To manage studies, students need to consider the
deadlines and the difficulty level of the homework. For example, I have 2
assignments to do for this week. On the first day, I complete one assignment
and the second on the next day. On the other hand, if I procrastinate and
decide to complete both assignments on the last day of the week, I may not be
able to finish it. To avoid stress and anxiety, I can finish my homework on
time and have more time left for other activities or responsibilities such as
reading books, preparing for exams, etc. I will not be stressed at work and I
will also have ample time to hang out with my friends and relax a bit.
Essay
Things to be
considered for time management would be the amount of days to be left for
relaxation. There can be three days off during the week, but it is only based
on how well the student manages or accomplishes task for the rest of the days
in the week. I may decide to go to work for two days and relax for a day. In
order to gain more time, it is not a good idea to skip classes. Using time
management, we can organize time well enough to have ample free time left to
catch up with other activities. For example, like I have three days off each
week. I can decide to work on part-time on campus for two days and relax and
have fun with my friends for one day. I will have to money to support my
education as well as time to relax with my friends. Moreover, I do not have to
skip classes because I can manage time well. However, if I decide to work for
four days, I will have to skip classes to make room for work. This will
eventually affect my studies, which is not beneficial in any case. A student
needs to set aside enough time to relax. Students can have one or two days off
depending on the work load each week. Everyone needs some relaxation. It is the
best way to recover the brain from stress and depression. For example, I can
manage my time very well. I manage to finish all my homework and assignments on
time. I revise my subjects regularly and always prepare myself for exams in
time so that I have enough free time to relax. After relaxing for a day, my
brain recovers and is ready for the next busy week. In case I do not manage my
time properly, I will not have enough time to relax and recover and it will
affect my attentiveness in class. That will adversely affect my studies. There
are various resources available that can help a student manage time very well.
Making use of calendars, to-do lists, emails, etc. can be of great help when it
comes to managing schedules. In case a student forgets a task, he can always
set a reminder in his calendar or his cell phone early enough that he gets
enough time to work on it before it is due for submission. Creating a task list
will help students prioritize tasks according to their level of difficulty,
time required, etc. Planning ahead is definitely something that helps a student
manage time while looking at the big picture. Having an organized workplace
also helps better manage time. If the workplace is well organized, a student
will not waste any time looking for specific material and will have everything
handy when required. Sticky-notes prove to be helpful in some cases. They are
handy and can be posted anywhere at your workplace. The tasks on these notes
can then be moved to a larger task list and prioritized accordingly. As we
know, time management is the most important skill that the university students
should develop in order to improve the schedule and do well in studies. If the
students assign enough time for all three activities: studies, work and fun,
they won’t have to worry about anything. Time management for studies will help
them complete all assignments on time as well as give them enough time to
revise for examinations. You can set aside enough time for work if you manage
your time properly. It will also help you relax and recharge for the
forthcoming adventures. Even though the skill of time management is hard to
use, it can be used to our advantage completely. Students can make their
academic schedule less stressful and manage everything perfectly. This will not
only help students in academics, but in almost every task that we handle as a
grown-up in the real world. This should be considered as a practice or a
preparation for the great adventures that are yet to be unveiled in life.
Conclusion
In conclusion, there are many benefits of using time
management. In fact, As we know, time management is the most important skill
that the university students should develop in order to improve the schedule
and do well in studies. Also, as you know by being on time in classes and
submitting home work on time that’s will make the professor give you a high
respect. As I explained in the begging of the essay the following suggestions
that I addressed should help students like me improve their time-management
skills to better handle the academics
