Time Management

When it comes to school, work, sports, or anything else that I participate in I strive to do my very best. I feel like I have let myself down if I know I didn't perform to my greatest potential and it leaves me with an uneasy feeling inside. Trying to juggle with my daily routine takes some time management skills and I feel that I have a system that works well for me. While in school I use a planner a lot. It helps me stay organized with everything that needs to be done and allows me to see just how much I have gong on that day. I love the feeling of being able to cross tasks off my list as I complete them. It makes it seem like I am actually accomplishing the things that I need to get done. As I am adjusting to college life I have noticed that I have not changed much of my time management skills since high school. I still expect to complete everything that is assigned and I still catch myself procrastinating from time to time. If there is one thing that I should fix is my problem with putting things off until the last minute. Some steps that I am taking to manage my time better are trying to do my homework in the afternoon between classes and doing some of it before I have volleyball that way i don't have a bunch to do towards the end of the day when I am tired. I feel that as time goes by I will develop a new rhythm that fits with my new college life style.
Some tips that I am trying to use in college are try not to procrastinate, don't stress out too much about course work, and know that you can't do everything so try and simplify your life. These are a few tips that not only apply to me but are tips that all college students should try while managing their time.
