Spring Break is over and it is now time to get down to business with school. Yuck!! Spring Break was a time to relax and get myself mentally ready for what was to come. Oh, was I not prepared for what was to come this week. I have so many papers and tests that are packed into this week. This is a time where you really have to manage your time. From being in Project Excel, I received some great advice about time management. I learned that you should always accomplish one thing before you start on the next. This minimizes any confusion that may come up with what needs to be accomplished. I have also been taught to tackle the assignments in order from when they are due. This releases any stress of getting the assignment done on time for the class. I am also a big user of the student planner. Everyday I write down what needs to be done for every class. I really think that I would be lost without my planner. I feel that if you have everything written down then you can refer back to the list to check off what has been done. Other than my planner, I keep track of all my classes with a calendar that I have posted on my wall in my room to refer to when I am in my room. In the past year, I have really picked up on some techniques that help me manage my time. They have really been a godsend to get me through my classes. I do admit that my freshmen year I was a lot better and I have somewhat "slacked off" on some of time management techniques. But for the most part, I use majority that I learned.
