Optimize your learning: Create Good Time Management Habits
Author: Mark Williams
According to studies, students who employ solid time management strategies tend to achieve higher grades. In fact, one study found that how well a student manages their time is a stronger predictor of postsecondary success than measures such as high school GPA or entrance test scores. Students who manage their time effectively are more productive and engage with their learning on a deeper level. Time management strategies also help fight procrastination. In addition, good time management can create opportunities for important self-care activities, such as sleep, exercise, relaxation, and social interaction.
Good time management is about making your day purposeful. This starts with recognizing that you can control how you use your time. When we control how we use our time we are able to balance our responsibilities, optimize our focus, increase our productivity, and do a better job on our tasks. Effective time management, however, is not achieved randomly. You need to use strategies that work for you, and it is critical to make these into habits.
