Time Strategies

Time management strategies are essential and extremely convenient for a busy college student. As everyone knows, time goes by really quick, especially if you're spending it on things that are not useful and productive. College costs a significant amount, so anything that would increase your success in graduating should be a priority. The time management schedule for the 6 weekly hours spent for this course is a great idea. I plan on using my planned schedule for this class throughout the term. 

In 3 Steps to Recapture Time, Joynicole Martinez emphasizes being able to say no. I think this was the most important point in the article. Being able to say no is really hard, especially when you actually really want to do something else other than your priorities. Joynicole also emphasizes on the first 15 minutes of the day. In order to manifest the day, you want to have a right and clear mind. Priorities like school already come with stress, any extra stress is undesirable and should be removed. 

In Four Questions to Help You Overcome Procrastination, Peter Banerjea gives advice and questions to ask oneself to prevent procrastination. My favorite point Peter made in his article would be the question, "what will go wrong if I don't do this now?" Procrastinating priorities can cause extra stress because it will be caught in the back of your head. This will prevent you from having a clear mind and it will get in the way of your already set schedule. Nonetheless, procrastinating is a bad habit to practice, especially if you're running on a schedule of a college student.
