Weekly PlanWeekly Plan Spend just 30 minutes mapping out the
upcoming week. Ask yourself these questions about the week:
What do I expect to accomplish? What will I have to do to reach these
goals? What tasks are more important than
others? How much time will each activity take? When will I do each activity? How flexible do I have to be to allow for
unexpected things?
Using a Daily PlannerUsing a Daily Planner
Use a “week at a glance” organizer. Enter in due dates and social events
as soon as you can. Review your calendar daily for the
current week and upcoming week. It just takes a moment to review
your calendar and it can help relieve stress.
Changing your time habitsChanging your time habits
Obey your alarm clock- get up ON TIME
Try to be early for class, not just on time
Limit e-mail and Internet time Over-estimate the time required
to do a task Keep a notepad handy- jot
down things you must remember
Quote of the DayQuote of the Day
Set priorities for your goals. A major part of successful living lies in the ability to put first things first. Indeed, the reason most major goals are not achieved is that we spend our time doing second things first.“ – Robert J. Mckain
