Over the years, I have learned to manage my time wisely. At this point, I cannot imagine procrastinating everything to the very last minute, because it would stress me out way too much. Here are some of my tips to manage your time better:
-
Make a list You should know what you are working towards – whether those are long-term or short-term goals.
-
Once you have that list, look through it. You should check on your goals and see until when you have to get them done and how important they really are.
-
Organize the list Now, it is time to actually organize that list and maybe even make a plan for you. If you know, you have a free weekend and nothing due on Monday, but two 10-page papers due on Tuesday, it might be a good idea to keep that mind and start with the research for those papers over the weekend.
-
Put away your phone Turn it completely off, then it won’t distract you anymore.
-
Check things off It is so satisfying to see how much you are really getting done!
-
Take care of yourself Get a good night’s sleep, get a muffin, get a tea – whatever you feel like because you deserve it!
Good luck managing your time!
