<p>Message above. I have bad time management skills. Please help.</p>
<p>If you have time to socialize, socialize as much as you want…
If you don’t have time to socialize and need to do school work, do your school work. </p>
<p>It ain’t rocket science. I usually socialize for a couple hours during my lunch break at school and that’s good enough for me. Teach yourself discipline.</p>
<p>Personally, socialization comes after schoolwork. I don’t schedule it in by minutes or hours though.</p>
<p>Are you perhaps maybe a robot?</p>
<p>Whenever there are people around and I’m not in class or sleeping</p>
<p>Time between classes, time at dinners/ lunch, any spare time on campus really. But when you get back to your room, buckle down and set a lot of priority on homework and try to plan evening events in advance so you can keep up with school work and sleep.</p>
<p>My daughter and her friends often did their individual homework while hanging out as a group in a lounge or common area - does that count as socializing time?</p>
<p>^^Yes because that “doing homework” is usually only about 10% of what is done in that lounge during that time. As my friends and I found out.</p>
<p>During the week a big chunk of my socializing is hanging out with people during meals. Anything in addition to that depends on all our schedules and how much work we each have. Weekends tend to be more flexible, but schoolwork still comes first if there’s anything any of us needs to do.</p>
<p>Long story short: It varies.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, for language classes those “studying” sessions with classmates actually helped because we were actually using the language. For other classes though, yeah that’s true in my experience.</p>
<p>Oh we get our work done. It just takes a bit longer than it’s supposed to. And the French homework (for those who take French) is always done first.</p>
<p>It depends on how much work you have on a given week, really. In other words, it’s not an independent variable, but it’s a function of school work, working a job (if you have one), time needed for housekeeping, etc.
Meals are always a good time to socialize with others, though.</p>
<p>Well this is not necessarily a bad question, but no one can give you such a direct answer.</p>
<p>The first thing to do in assess what type of work you have and how much. Do you have readings for every class? Is there regular weekly homework or just longer term or periodic assignments? </p>
<p>You have to decide when is a good time for you to do work. Every day before class? During longer breaks between classes?</p>
<p>One idea would be to go to the library or another study location every day right after your last class and work until dinner. Dinner is generally a time to socialize. If you have work remaining after that, go back to a study place and finish that work before you can socialize again. </p>
<p>For me, I don’t do any work from Friday afternoons to Sunday. But on Sunday, I know I work consistently from 1 or 2pm until I finished all the work/reading I need to do for that week.</p>
<p>Dude, how do you plan socializing? Your first step should be getting out of that mind set.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone</p>
<p>9 minutes every other day whether you want to or not.</p>
<p>You have 2 hours, 31 minutes, and 16 seconds to dedicate to socializing every day. Any extra time must be taken away threefold the next day and you must whip yourself naked in a pitch-black closet in order to repent.</p>
