Learning Things

Time Management is often the number one challenge that many students encounter.  However as an unknown author pointed out, students have the same number of hours in a day as Monet, Beethoven, Henry Ford, Mother Theresa, and Charles Lindberg (to name a few). This seems to lead one to the conclusion that the priorities you set out for yourself will determine your progress, your accomplishments, and, ultimately, your success.
San Jose State University’s College of Business Professor, Annette Nellen’s points out that to “be able to have control over your life – manage your time, don’t let it manage you!”   Professor Nellen also suggests (and this is backed up by quite a bit of research) that time management contributes to less stress resulting in a happier and healthier you. 

Professor Nellen suggests seven steps for managing your time effectively:
1. Be organized
2. Plan ahead
3. Prioritize your tasks
4. Avoid overload
5. Practice effective study habits
6. Be able to be flexible
7. And last, have a vision about why you are doing something and where it will take you.
