Life improves when you decide to do things differently. In this case, the goal is to gain control over  time, rather than letting it control you. It is about taking ownership of time, which is the essence of your  life. The main objective of time management is for you to have a clear picture of your upcoming days,  weeks, and months. It is a way for you to discover what time you have available to devote to study,  recreation, or other activities. Make the decision to be the master of your life, rather than its suffering  slave!

The objective of time management is to allocate time wisely, so you can achieve your goals. If you  wanted to be an Olympic swimmer or ice skater, you would have to practice several hours a day for  years. In the same way, to be a top student you must have a good idea of the study requirements. Even  though each subject places different demands on you – reading, writing, research, experiments,  assignments, essays, projects, papers, presentations, tests, and exams – by prioritizing, you will increase  your chances of success. For each subject, decide how to complete all required tasks, over a weekly,  monthly, and yearly basis. This advance planning will increase your awareness, making it less likely for  you to squander time away meaninglessly.

After establishing your priorities, set up a schedule which respects your priorities. A wide variety of  student organizers, diaries, planners, electronic tools and time management systems are available on the  market. Choose or create whatever seems best for you. Many students select weekly planners that  enable them to see the big picture more easily. Make sure your system is something you are very  comfortable with as you will be referring to it often. Then, set up your schedule in this order.

In addition to your weekly planner, invest in a large monthly wall calendar. Jot down all the important  due dates, deadlines, exams, etc so they are in front of you as a visual reminder. This will make you  more aware of important dates and allow you to adjust or rearrange plans if you are behind schedule.
