Time can be likened to a spirited horse—if you want the horse to work for you, you must know how to control it. If you control your time, you will be inclined to lessen your stress, improve your grades, and earn more trust from others. You may say this idea sounds great, but the truth is it is easier to say a specific thing than do it. The truth is you will face challenges when wanting to control your time. But you can overcome the challenges. Let us take some examples of the challenges.
Challenge Number 1: Making a Schedule
What might stop you from making a schedule? Only the thought of scheduling gives rise to you feeling trapped! You prefer to be voluntary, not bonded to a plan.
Why does it anyway?
Have at the back of your mind that the plans of the diligent person certainly make for advantage. As a student, you have a lot of things to do with time, your academic activities, and other activities which make your life a busy one. But your life will probably become extra hectic as you grow aged, because you be thinking of how to care for yourself, your family and work, etc. It is better that you become organized sooner by scheduling rather than later!
What will help you? Have a glance at it from this perspective: Suppose you are embarking on a highway excursion. Each of your family members erratically hurls his or her suitcases into the trunk of the car. It seems as though there won’t be sufficient room for everything. What can you do in this instance? You may likely start loading again, settling the biggest suitcases in first and fitting the smaller suitcases into the remaining room.
The exact strategy can be utilized to manage your life. If you begin loading your time with tinier things, you risk not being able to fit in the important things. Make room for the huge things first, and you will be astounded at how much more time you will have for the rest.
What do you think are the most crucial things you need to do first before doing other things?
Directly return and prioritize—the amount of the things you have to do in order of significance. If you have the huge things done first, you may be amazed at how much time you will have leftover to take care of the small things.
What you can do: Buy a pocket planner, and prioritize what you have to do. On the different hand, probably one of the following options below would work for you.
□ Cell-phone calendar
□ Small notepad
□ Computer calendar
□ Desk calendar
Challenge number 2: Sticking to a Schedule
What might stop you? Thereupon school, you just want to relax and watch TV, read things online, or chat with friends on social media fora for a few moments. Or you schedule to study for a test, but you receive a text message inviting you to a movie, a friend's place, or a picnic. The invitation won’t wait, but you can put off studying until tonight. Moreover, you say to yourself, ‘I seem to do better under pressure.’
Why does it anyway? You may have a better grade if you study when your mind is more effective. Furthermore, don’t you already have sufficient pressure to handle? Why add to the existing pressure by filling for a test late at night? What will the following morning be like? You may oversleep, feel extra feared, have to rush out the door, and perhaps be late for the test.
What you can do. What are one or two practical goals that you could accomplish within the next six months?
What is a practical goal you could accomplish within the following two years, and what do you need to begin doing now to attain that goal?
Challenge Number 3: Being Neat and Organized
What might stop you? You are not certain how being neat and organized has anything to do with managing your time better. Moreover, being chaotic appears so much simpler. Cleaning your cottage can be done tomorrow—or not at all! You don’t care about the mess, so it’s not a big deal. Or is it?
Why does it anyway? Having everything neat and standardized will recoup your time when you are searching for your things. It will also lend you a much-needed consensus of mind.
What will help you? Try to settle stuff back in their spot as shortly as you can. Do it regularly rather than pausing until litter gets out of control.
What you can do. Try making neatness a habit. Do your utmost in keeping everything neater, and notice if it gives rise to an easier life.
Time is the one asset that you, your friends, and your family all have the same portion of each day. Mismanage that asset, and you will suffer. Manage it wisely, and you will collect the rewards. The choice is up to you.
Thank you!
