| Hi friends, i would like to speak about "managing time" which is the most important for all, especially for students who prepare for board exam, entrance exam etc. Student success depends on your use of effective time management. Time management is a skill that can be learned. First, you need to understand how your time is spent. Keep a record for several days documenting how much time is spent in class, studying, visiting with friends and family, working and eating. Take a look at the list to see where you time is going. Once you know how your time is spent, start a daily or weekly planner. Put down your classes, appointments, meetings, work schedule, assignment due dates and other activities. Check the planner every day so you will know what needs to be done that day. A daily “to-do” list may assist you in knowing what needs to be done immediately. This list will help you keep your assignments in a priority order. In order to use your time wisely, put your assignments in a priority order with the most difficult one first. If you do your most difficult task at the beginning, it will be out of the way and the others will be easier. Be sure to schedule time to study. Make sure that you schedule enough time to study but not enough time to get restless. Start studying in a distraction free environment - and don’t listen to the television or leave your cell phone on. It is a good idea to study for shorter periods of time so you won’t be exhausted rather than hours at a time. Try to review your notes and just read before your class begins so you could refresh all in your mind. Once you become aware of how you use your time, you will be able to manage it and do well in your studies. |
