"So many assignments . . . Such a little bit of time." "Oh, I have plenty time . . . I can start that report later." The sentences above represent two very different attitudes about time. Which most closely resembles your relationship with time? Is time on your side? As a college student, your time management skills can determine your success or failure. Psychologist William Knause estimated that 90% of college students procrastinate. Twenty-five percent of these become chronic procrastinators, many who end up dropping out of college. Time management is really a misnomer. Can you manage time? Not really, time just ticks by. So, what can you manage? The only thing you really have any control of is yourself. You can learn to plan, prioritize and invest your time wisely. In fact, learning to manage the way you use your time is a life skill that will help you succeed in school and beyond. On the other hand, not learning these management skills can affect your self image and the way others think of you. In addition, not managing your time well leads to stress, which can affect your physical health. Through this online tutorial, you'll have the opportunity to learn the basics of time management, including some specific activities that are quick and simple to implement in your own life.
