Time management is really life management. If you improve the quality of your time management you will improve and enhance all parts of your life. Tips for time management are as follows.

Break major tasks down into small chunks: Break major projects into small pieces and tackle them one at a time.

Eliminate tasks: Evaluate each task and don’t do time consuming routine tasks like rewashing the car weekly or dusting.

Consolidate tasks-Whenever possible do more than one thing at a time

Evaluate your habits: Save time by changing your routine actions.

Be prepared to lower your standards: The heavy demands on your time, it is doubtful that everything you do can be perfect.

Learn to say No: There is never time to do everything we want to do, so we must learn to do those things that move us toward our goals and say no to those that do not.

Be flexible but remain in control: Expect interruptions, as they are bound to occur. An effective time management will survive if, you do your works in a priority order.

Make a study schedule and stick to it: The best way to ensure that you will have enough study time to meet your goals in each course is to plan for it.

Understand assignments and write them down-Keep all assignments in one place to avoid forgetting something.

Develop an understanding of your best concentration times: Arrange your schedule so that you have study time during your peak hours.

Remember that study includes many different tasks: When teachers talk about the need to study and you should read review material in preparation for class.

Realize that different subjects require different types of preparation: Lecture classes require that you have to review your notes right after class and preview the new topic just before the classes.

Schedule study learning sessions to fit your attention span: Try studying for 45 minutes and then take a ten-minute exercise break.

Vary subjects and type of study for maximum efficiency: Within a study session do some reading, writing, and recitation, to stay interested and alert.
