I write this clear and concise reflection to identify and evaluate an academic problem that I feel is negatively impacting my studies which is time management; otherwise, I find lot of difficulty to manage my time. This problem influences my academic and personal life because I cannot manage my time correctly in order to be successful. Firstly I am not organized and I don’t have any plan to set and apply. This shows clearly the difficulty of my critical situation. I became to feel anxious and nervous all the time and also it affects on my grade. According to this I must change the way I deal with my time by changing the methodology and follow other time management strategies. The reality that I never have manage my time and now I regret deeply that I don’t have any schedule to follow then I realize that managing time is necessary and very important. I find myself rushing at the last minute to complete my assignments and do my homework without being ready to do them physically and morally. I also find my self forgetting what I have to do , missing deadlines, putting some unrealistic goals, worrying about an exam if I don’t prepare for it. I often waste my energy on less important tasks; consequently, I fail to complete successfully the more important ones. I sleep very late then I don’t have enough hours to sleep ,so I cant wake up freshly ,therefore I come not following normally my courses, concentrating ,and focusing on my works. I am easily distracted by my gadgets and other external tendencies. I face some anxiety and health problems. I feel embarrassed and stressed because I don’t have time to accomplish my goals, because I have a great part of time in my leisure time; take for instance, I spend lot of time talking on... ... middle of paper ... ...nize my targets by classify them by the authority, then succeed and be successful. The strategies that I used and the strategies that I have implement to reduce are efficient. But the most effective are create week schedule and plan my work each day because in this two strategies I can make adjustment at the weekend because as we know the weekend is the largest block of spare time, it may be helpful to complete tasks that take longer than planned and I also use the daily activity table with column of tasks prioritizing. The least effective strategies are testing my work each fifteen days and adjusting my plans each day. After I achieve in reducing this academic problem, I still also have some academic problems but not with the same difficulty; take for instance, procrastination. But I think in managing my time effectively I will not be procrastinator anymore.
I understand your problem of procrastinating because I suffer from the same issue. In high school, I would always wait around until the last second to study for a test or work on a project. I would always get the task done, but I was constantly worried about the upcoming due date and my sleep always suffered. I told myself when I went to college, I would work harder to not procrastinate. Unfortunately, during the fall of my freshman year as much as I told myself to study, I again found myself procrastinating. I would have the syllabus the first day of class and knew when a test or paper would be due and just couldn’t get myself motivated to get started. I couldn’t sleep and the more I would stress about it the more I couldn’t concentrate a different class. I struggled through my fall semester and ended up failing one of my classes because I didn’t finish one of the papers. I became depressed over Christmas Break and felt like a failure because I had let myself and my parents down. I received a letter from
It appears the higher education you foresee, the more your skills must be refined to succeed. Did you know time management is one of the qualifications a graduate school looks at before awarding a scholarship (Whorley, M. R., & Addis, M. E., 2007)? When in graduate school students should use time wisely to succeed. Some do a so-so job by realizing one cannot learn it all. Whereas others forget they have friends and a social life, their social life becomes null and void. Others sacrifice their own well-being, all by becoming so entirely focused on the demands of school. These demands make me worry about myself by not sleeping and if this makes sense not eating. I forget to eat and have passed out from this type behavior. I want my academic journey to take me beyond my associates, as we all do. My bachelor's maybe even a further goal; yet not to the point I no longer have friends to share my success with or worse, and I'm dead. Thus, when this article stated the sacrifice of well-being I understood tenfold; I have some work to do it appears, after all, I'm not as good at time management as I
William Penn quotes that time is what we want most, but what we use worst. Self-change is a very hard processing for many people. My self-change project is to complete my schoolwork on time. I need to improve my study planning and time management skill in order to get a better grade in all the classes. I would like less focus on chores at home and do not waste time watch movie, playing games. I want to focus on improving my study plan and time management after evaluating my habits and behavior.
Prioritizing time is critical due to ways of learning and levels of energy. When studying, get in the habit of beginning with the most difficult subject or task. You will be fresh, and have more energy to take them on when you are at your best. For more difficult courses of study, try to be flexible: for example, build in reaction time when you can get feedback on assignments before they are due (“Time Management” n.d.).

Procrastination is the plague that infects most of the students during their academic career. According to Hara Estroff Morano, “Procrastination is the one personal flaw that every student and adult in our time-pressured culture openly admits to” (41). It is easy to say you will do this assignment tomorrow but the next day you find the same work become stressing as you are running against the due date. Avoiding procrastination might seem impossible, especially when it becomes a habit, but there are methods suggested by experts to eliminate it. Techniques such as following a schedule, avoiding distractions, taking action, breaking to-do’s into smaller pieces, learning frustration–tolerance skills and last but not least having an internal motivation will help students avoid their procrastinating habit.
Looking at my own approach to time management I have noticed that I am well organised and good at prioritising tasks and jobs. When I log onto my computer to start my shift I am sent down numerous jobs, each job is different and has different deadlines for attendance and completion. I plan my day based around the date and time deadlines of the jobs and also the locations of the jobs. I then schedule the most effective order of completing the jobs, putting high priority jobs at the top of my list and grouping sites that are geographically close to each other. By effectively planning my day I keep a focused attitude towards my work and I have time to think about tasks and situations, rather tha...
The problem of time management can be said to be universal not only affecting students but also other people in careers. This problem is seen to transition from a person’s life from different cadres of his or her engagement specifically from home, school and at work. It is also a problem that is internal and not external.
Effective time management strategies increase academic performance and are frequently suggested by academic assistance personnel as aids to enhance achievement for college students. Productive study methods are characterized by "time management" and "strategic studying" (Entwistle & Ramsden, 1983; Kirschenbaum & Perri, 1982). Although suggestions of starting large projects and assignments long before due dates, breaking down large tasks into smaller sections, and doing small tasks on a regular schedule, could all help a student with the amount of anxiety and stress that they are dealing with but yet students ignore these techniques and find themselves having a tough time and struggling before
I have terrible time management skills when it comes to my time outside of school. Instead of studying for three hours like I wanted to, I go out with friends and ignore the fact that I have homework. I enjoy eating, watching TV, being on my phone. (SS4) Therefore, I would do all of these activities to avoid my studying responsibilities. (BE-) When I don’t study for three hours the night before, this puts me in a difficult situation and results in me being stressed. This is one of the main reasons to why I have so much stress during the school year. The worried thoughts developing in my head produce stomach pains. The amount of stress I bring upon myself is avoidable, but my lack of ambition to do homework doesn’t help me with my unnecessary stress. If I could manage my studying hours with my social life, I could reduce half of the stress that is caused in my

Time management is not a new idea and many methods have been proposed regarding the best way to handle time management issues for business students. These suggestions can often be quite simple, such as writing down lists of things to do in order to support people in making good use of their time for work or recreational purposes. When time pressures are high, planning tasks and actions does not always lead to the completion of the work. It is in recognition of this that time management training programs have been designed, aiming to give an insight into the time required for activities, ways to make time plans, and increasing the efficiency of people by teaching them how to plan properly, how to prioritize tasks, and how to handle unexpected tasks. This is increasingly easy, particularly for students, as “books, articles, and time management training programs that were initially developed for managers have been made available to everyone”.(Claessens, Brigitte J.C. 2004).
I have been completing assignemnts before the due dates and I I learned that in order to produce good results, it is important to begin as early as possible in order to avoid mistakes. I have also started to use a journal. A journal will help me organize my due dates and other important events or meetings. I know that if I continue this habit, it will negatively impact me when I get into the work force. By organizing myself and balancing out my studies and my personal life, I can have time to enjoy both. I learned that if I want to be a great employee, prorastiantion can not be tolerated. Errors in my presenation, exeels or documents can lead me to be fired. Instead punctuality and time management are essential or else my employer will fire me. Asking questions is just as important in the workforce. In order to produce succesful results it is important to understand the
