Time Management
Learning how to use your time wisely is an important skill for success at the University level. With multiple courses, extra curricular activities, jobs, and leisure time all needing a place on your schedule, time management becomes essential to delegating the appropriate amount of time to everything you are involved in.
Scheduling
It is important to have a system to organize all of the activities you need to complete in a day. A calendar or agenda can be used as a visual tool to help ensure you are completing everything you need to complete within a reasonable timeframe. A time use grid can be used to track your current scheduling habits and then reevaluate your current practices to create a schedule that is more efficient.
