Reflection Paper On Time Management

Have you ever thought about going back in time and do things differently? Go back and think about your last week, think about what you did and reflect on what you would have done differently. Probably you would have started your homework earlier in the week rather than doing it late Sunday night! Time is a precious thing to have, once a read a book by Mitch Albom and it said: “There is a reason why God limits our days on earth, to make each one of them special.” So what have you done to make your days more enjoyable, and most importantly, what have you done to manage your time to get the best out of each day? There are three steps to success when it comes to time management. First, you have to reflect on how you are using your time. Second,

Personally, I do regret procrastinating and not using my time wisely. Think back at how you could have used all your spare time talking to your parents or doing homework.
