2. Time management is crucial in the success of students in college. There are
many things that you need to do at university and outside it. Being a student is
your “main occupation” and you are also a young person with a private and
social life. You have things to do for your student career, for others and for
yourself. Thus, you need to manage your time well to do all these and succeed in
all these, special in your college studies.
3. Start managing your time well with a goal. Set a target grade. You need to
start not only managing your time but the whole college experience in a
greater scope with a goal in mind. Mind. It means focus. Give yourself a goal
to focus on. You will work towards this goal. You will manage your time
based on this goal. This goal is to succeed in your studies. In general, it is to
successfully get your diploma. You do not want to fail a subject so you want
to be prepared for the examinations and beat the deadline for that term paper
and you can do these with strong time management. But there is more to this.
You should aim for more. Aspire for higher grades. Set this as a goal. Then
plan on how you will make it a reality.
4. Having a goal is the start. It is the motivation. It is the intention. It is the
reason and desired result of doing things. Now, you must do things. You
need to act on the intention. You need to do the work. To do so, first, you
write what you need to do. That is your plan. Create a study schedule. Lay
out a timetable for how you will go through completing your term paper.
Know the corresponding weights that different class tasks and requirement
have so that you can prioritise what to do first, second and so on. Be quick
on this. This is only the second step of your time management and you have
yet to do the bulk of the whole process later on.
5. Again, having a goal and a plan is only the start. You are yet to move
forward towards the main thing and that is actually doing what you plan to
do. This is actually the hard part. You do not have someone who will prod
you to do the work, unlike when you were still in primary school and were
still very young and your parents and older siblings will monitor what you
are doing after classes. This is even harder than working as an employee
where you have the supervisor. You are on your own. You will study and do
your projects by your lonesome. You are the one and only one who will do
the work. You will be the one who will manage your time. That is why time
management is self-management. It is self-discipline.
6. However, you can still tap your friends to help you in carrying out your plan.
You can get a study buddy or group. Share with them your goals and plans
and ask them to help you in carrying out the corresponding tasks. To do this,
you can exchange goals and plans with your friends and carry out your plans
together.

7. Having a strong time management skill and attitude may also mean that you
should be flexible. There are circumstances that you cannot control and will
stop you from following your plans or schedule. Be flexible, accept this fact
and do something else that is also important. At the same time, you should
reward yourself when you are able to carry out your plan or reach the level
of progress or achievement in such plan.
8. Strong time management for college students is important for life inside the
campus, outside and in the future. When you aspired to enter university, you
figured out how to write a personal statement mentioning managing time for
success in college is an ability you have so that you can show screening
officers that you are suitable for university study life. You should show and
use it as student so that you will succeed in your studies. Developing it is
also important for your future in a career and for use in life in general.
