This last few weeks I have noticed a pattern. I am having a hard time with time management. Time management is a very important skill for college and jobs. To help myself figure out how to manage my time better, I researched articles about how to better manage your time. I found an article called 8 Tips for Effective Time Management. The first tip is to know your goals. To better manage your time, it is important to only participate in actives that support your goals. The second tip is to prioritize wisely. I found this piece of information very interesting. According to the article, you should make sure your activities fall into these four categories: important and urgent, important but not urgent, urgent but not urgent, and not urgent and not important. By making sure your activities fit into those categories, you prioritize what must be accomplished today and what can be done tomorrow. The third tip is just say no, which is basically saying just let it go, move on, and learn. This way, you aren’t wasting valuable time on frustrating tasks. Tip four is to plan ahead. Just taking a few minutes the night before or first thing in the morning can help you organize your time wisely. The fifth tip is one that I am not good at. Eliminating distractions is the best way to get more done. I like taking breaks which usually last a few hours. That is part of my problem, which I plan to start working on. Tip six is to delegate more often. That doesn’t really apply to my situation, because most of the thing I’m doing are individual. The last two tips are very important. Tip seven, which is to watch what you spend, is something that I should try. Timing how much actual productivity goes on can be very helpful for you to determine if you're getting better at managing your time. The last tip is very simple. It is to take care of yourself. It doesn’t mean to pamper yourself but to get a lot of exercise and sleep. Things to remember
