Change Your Ways To Be Successful



When you come to college time management is key to getting successful grades. In high school you get like at most 1-2 hr(s) worth of homework a day. I wish I can say the same. In college you have to adjust quickly and also be prepared to get more then 3hrs of homework a night. I am not going to say that I am the best person to manage my time because I am not. I am a muti-tasker / procrastinator. Since I know I have the time to do my homework I find myself putting it off till the last minute. Last week I took notes from a couple of articles to learn how to manage my time to be a better student. After this study of my daily schedule I saw where I have to change my schedule around and what to do less of. I do about 21 hours a week of homework out of 168 hours a week. So 13% of my time I am doing homework. As I read more into my schedule I find myself spending more then 46 hours doing non important stuff like hanging out, going out, etc.  So 28% of my time I am doing no worthy things that most likely wont helps getting that successful grade. With the class schedule I have I see myself being a procrastinator. Monday and Wednesday I have classes from 3:25-6, Tuesday and Thursday I have class schedule from 8:10-10:50 and 1:50-3:05, and no classes on Friday. So with this eye opener I am going to start using my time even more wisely such as during my Friday since I have no classes I am going to get my homework done which is due in the next week to get ahead , not have to stress it the night before and leaving the week up for open hours to study.
