the art/science of time management - englighten me

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Time management. Such a trite topic in everyday life - I am too busy to **** as the shirt says. I feel so overwhelmed by homework, studying, and extracurriculars that I never feel that I have the time to actually LIVE. Let alone study for SATs, APs, and AP 2s. And I really should start working, too, because it looks like I will be having a rough time paying for college.
Basically, I need to now master time mangement. Better sooner than later.
Any tips? Advice?</p>

<p>I tried a scheduele but it NEVER works. Stuff comes up or I am too lazy/unmotivated to do stuff like SAT studying. All I do is get my hw done with lil sleep. Yeah, it sucks.</p>

<p>Help me out!!! It will mean a lot to me.</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Ohh... I had similar problems this year. I started to isolate myself at the library with my work and away from computers. It has helped.</p>

<p>Once I started feeling stressed with crazy amounts of homework and ECs, I started prioritizing. Drop stupid ECs and don't do excessive amounts of homework if you know you'll make the A anyway. Also, get your homework out of the way first. That way, you never have to have something in the back of your mind.</p>

<p>Don't watch television. You'll burn several hours away before you realize what happened.</p>

<p>ditto to the tv thing. I'm trying to cut back cuz I am so swamped this year. so far, any attempts at time management have been foiled by that tube.</p>

<p>if you are tired and need a break, lie down on your bed or take a shower. but DONT relax in front of the tube (or at least not very often)</p>

<p>haha.. at least that is not a problem. our tube has no channels and all the movies we have are russian, which i do not like. and i am too frugal to spend 5 bucks on blockbuster</p>

<p>Yeah tv, aim, and CC are the bane of any good time management plan. However, you have to find a way to get all your things done and still have some fun.</p>

<p>STAY AWAY FROM AIM!!1!111</p>

<p>Basically, computers are deadly when it comes to procrastination.</p>

10

<p>I have to reiterate the point greencloth brought up - PRIORITIZE!</p>

<p>Know what you're naturally good at and don't spend as much time on that as you do on subjects that are more difficult for you.</p>

<p>Stop browsing and posting around on CC. I swear, this place is like an addiction.</p>
