Time management ( Journal #21 )

Time management is a big issue for university students. Students who study in the university are very different from high school students. In the university, most professors won’t assign students daily homework. Maybe they will just only give students a schedule to remind students what they should do. Thus, if students don’t know how to arrange their schedule, they will tend to fail on their study. There are some techniques that can assist students to manage their time.

First of all, students need to discriminate their study time and leisure time. To set up a personal schedule is very important for students. Students can review their own schedule to arrange their study progression. Second, students have to arrange extra time for unexpectedly accidents. If students arrange their time too exact and if some accidents happen, students will be hard to master these things and they will lose their flexibility to deal with these accidents.

The last one is that students need to separate their study time and leisure time. Although improving academic skills are very important for university students, they still value their physical and mental health. Students need to arrange some leisure activities to vent out their stress or negative emotion. Students can release their stress by exercising or hanging out with friends. By these activities, students not only can release their own pressures but also can refill their energy for keeping moving.

Therefore, I believe that students can efficiently manage their time by arranging their own schedule and discriminating study and leisure time.
