How Crucial are Time Management Skills?


As a college student, it is very crucial to have good time management skills. For example, My life consist of various activities and completing them all can become quite difficult. I am currently a full time student with six clasess, a devout member of the tennis and basketball teams, am holding a full time job, and I also have an internship with HBO. In order for me to get everything done, I have to sacrifice and skip out on some social activities. Sometimes, it upsets me that I get to see my friends going out, while I'm getting my activities completed. However, I know that everything that I am doing now will benefit my future. Even when I seemingly leave enough time in between tasks, the first one may be postpond making me stressed and late for the next one. An example of this may be, my game running over time, and me not able to meet my friend for dinner


WHERE CAN I GET A FAIRY LIKE THAT?

The picture on this entry is right on the target!

So how do you have time to blog and to response? I feel this takes up a lot of time and frankly a little nerdy for cool people. Education is suppose to be cool.

Seriously though, it sounds like you have a hectic schedule this semester. Chill and relax sometimes (in whatever form as long as it does not involve biting, punching, kicking, or anyway of hurting other people, especially me). Stress is inevitably and sometimes good, but over-stress is bad. Take care of your health (mentally, physically, socially), so stay cool!

Are you breathing easy...

Hey,

I can understand the pressure that you are under. It is not easy to balance all of the complications that life can throw at us. It sounds that you are doing a good job with your balancing act.

What position in basketball do you play? I used to be a small foward back when I lived in Israel.

Have a nice weekend.

WOW.
You really do have such a busy life!!
It's really unbelievable you are handling all of them.
I completely agree with that as college students, we need good time management skill.
I thought I have a pretty good one but seems like there's a lot to improve, because compared to yours, my life is such a simple one!
it would be great if you can share with us how you are managing all of the activities and social life. ;)

Sounds like your already a pro at time management. I think its great your able to be part of so many activities and hold it all together. You are right that all this work will most likely benefit you in the future. It seems the only management you need to worry about now is stress

Wow....I am impressed. It seems like you have an extremely hectic
schedule. It's true that it can be upsetting that you have to socialize less and focus more on school, work, your internship and other tasks.
However, I am certain that this will benefit you in the future and will definitely make you a stronger person. While doing all that on a daily basis, you learn so much and gain so many incredible skills. You gain
essential characteristics such as multitasking, problem solving,
analytical thinking, time management and so on. As I always say - whatever doesn't kill us, only makes us stronger! I'm proud of you!

Wow Mariya..!!

Looks like you are doing an amazing job managing your time. I would have probably gone insane by now if I had a schedule as hectic as yours.

I am a full time student as well, but I have just taken up 5 courses this semester. I too am involved with a few organizations, and I also work part-time. And at the end of the day I harldy have any time left for myself.

Hats off to you, girl.

I bet it feels like heaven when you do get a chance to relax and unwind.

Take care

God, don't you feel stressed with such schedule? I wondered how you manage your time. It's not easy though especially when you're holding 6 classes, exams gonna make you crazy. Well, i think as long as you have balance between work, study and play. You'll be fine. Sometimes busy schedule might be cool because it'll show that you have spend your time wisely doing meaningful things =).

Hi Breath,

You really do have a busy life just like i do to. I do you manage your time. For instance, i do not have any social life whatsoever i am alway busy gettting things done. The worst part is that i rarely do have time for my personal life. All what i do is read, work to 2jobs, go to school, get busy at home and also go to church on sunday. It as been crazy.
Good Luck!
