There is always an assignment, project, homework or reading to be done. Have your heard or said this yourself, “The instructor of each of my classes piles on homework as though this is the only class I have”?

Your success in this your current primary occupation (being a student) requires you to manage your time!   If you don’t manage you time well, you will not achieve the high academic levels that you aspire.

Additionally, you will make your time in school more difficult.

 Failure:

•        takes a lot of energy

         contributes to a loss of self esteem

         causes an increase in stress levels

These in turn reduces your ability to effectively study thus sending you into a downward spiral.

How can you avoid this trap? How can you manage your time better? In this webpage we will take a look at the first step in time management. “Failure to plan is planning to fail”. I don’t know to whom to attribute this quote but I would like you to consider its validity. In terms of time management, what is your plan?

I would like to you answer this question, “How much time do you really have”? Please download the time survey and fill it out.

It is a simple 24/7 time survey; a written articulation of your plan for academic success.

Please note that you CANNOT MAXIMIZE time usage to 100%. You should build in some flexible time under the (P) heading.

Upon completion and reflection of the survey, how realistic is your plan?

• Do you have time that  can be use if you run into trouble?

  Does that time come from time allocated to another class?

  So how much time do you really have ???
