In class we have been talking all about time management. I have pretty good time management skills. I know when I can put things off and when I need to get things done. So far this year I think I have been doing well, I have been putting school work in front of everything else. I just need to keep this momentum going and not start to slack. But after writing down everything that I did all week long I realized I may be beginning to slack in some areas.
Usually I go out every Thursday night because my class on Friday does not begin until 12:10. And usually Thursday night is the only night I go out. This week I went out on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. That might not seem like a lot but it made me push all my school work to get done on Sunday. Plus when I go out I have to drive home from New Haven so I do not get to sleep until 1 AM. Not getting enough sleep during the night made me tired all throughout the day.
This needs to change. I need to go back to only allowing myself to have one night a week when I get to go out and stay out late. In high school it was okay to stay out late and be tired in class the next day. Not in college, in college I want to make sure I am awake and alert during every single one of my classes.
That is just one thing that I need to work on with my time management skills. In order to work on this I am going to write out daily to do lists of all my work that I need to get done and then make sure I stick to it. This will give me more free time, then I might be able to go out more. I suggest that everyone make daily to do lists. You feel so accomplished every time you get to cross something off. This will help with your time management skills.
