Effective Time Management For Students Online: Part 1

Time management is an area where almost everyone feels they can still improve. This is particularly the case for people like yourselves who are zeroing in on one of the most challenging targets: the attainment of a degree or diploma from a college or university. It doesn’t matter if you are pursuing the degree online or at the physical location, effective time management is key to your success.

On a personal note, when I first entered University back in 1996, I didn’t have a clue (but of course thought I knew everything) about time management. And because of this…and maybe a little too much partying & sleeping instead of going to class, I failed out after my second semester. I attended summer sessions and was able to get back into school for the fall, I actually did quite well in my summer classes mainly because there were less distractions and I was able to get myself on a productive schedule and stick to it. Managing my time effectively saved my ass that Summer.

The following is a list of the key fundamentals involved in Effective Time Management

1 - Setting Goals
2 - Defining Tasks
3 - Prioritising
4 - Task Lists
5 - Environment
6 - Avoid Interruptions
7 - Tackling the Tasks
8 - Evaluation of Progress

I will touch on all of these subjects and more in the next few parts of this Time Management Series for Students

Cheers
