“But I’m too busy to watch a Time
Management presentation!”
Here’s the good news: You are one
step closer to reaching your goal(s)!
Here’s the bad news: No one is
going to force you to attend class
and keep up with your assignments!






Noun: The continuum of experience in which
events pass from the future through the present
to the past.
Noun: A period of time considered as a resource
under your control and sufficient to accomplish
something.
 Verb: Assign a time for an activity or event.
Managing YOUR time in order to achieve YOUR
goals is within YOUR reach!
Having goals—both long-term and short-term,
create the motivation within yourself to diligently
follow your set schedule.
 Write your goals down and keep them
somewhere where you’ll see them every day.
 Understand that the effort/sacrifices that you’re
making NOW will pay off down the road.
“If you don't know
where you are going,
you'll end up
someplace else.”
Yogi Berra
Why are you in college? What do you hope to gain
from this experience? Where do you see yourself in
five years? In ten years? In twenty years?





Only YOU can answer these questions.
Write these Long Term Goals down.
Once you determine where you want to be, you’ll
need to figure out the most efficient means of
getting there. For most people, setting
attainable Short Term Goals is the quickest way
to achieve your ends—Your Long Term Goal.
“I approach everything step by step. I had always
set short-term goals. As I look back, each one of
the steps or successes led to the next one…If
[your goal is to become a doctor]...and you’re
getting Cs in biology then the first thing you
have to do is get Bs in biology and then As. You
have to perfect the first step and then move on to
chemistry or physics...Take those small steps.
Otherwise you’re opening yourself up to all kinds
of frustration.”
Michael Jordan








Divide your short term academic goals into three
categories: 1) Semester; 2) Weekly; and 3) Daily.
Write down your semester goals and refer to
them frequently, in order to remind yourself of
what you’re attempting to accomplish.
Over each weekend look at your various course
syllabi, and determine exactly what you will need
to accomplish over the coming week.
Also, look at long-term assignments (such as
papers, projects, etc.) and set milestones for
yourself.
Use whichever method you prefer: paper, setting up
a spreadsheet, using your cell phone calendar, etc.
 Immediately block off class, sleep, work,
exercise, etc., times. Obviously, you won’t be able
to get any school work done during these hours.
 If you have lengthy reading assignments try and
break them up over the course of several days or
the entire week.
Every morning review your daily tasks.
 Take into account the fact that some days will be
more or less busy than others. Obviously, on those
days that you have labs, work, etc., you aren’t going
to get as much studying/homework done.
 Anticipate the geographic locations where you’ll be
spending your day, and what materials you’ll need:
i.e. snacks, drinks, work to do between classes, etc.
 Don’t overlook/underuse small blocks of time. Ten
minutes here and there can take chunks out of your
weekly/daily To Do Lists.
Regardless of whether you are a commuter or live on
campus, make sure that you have these items in your
bag (besides the obvious—your books, notebooks, etc.):
 Snacks, drinks, any necessary medications.
 Phone charger.
 Umbrella.
 Writing utensils/highlighters.
 Student ID.
 Any work that can be attended to in case of
unexpected free time, i.e. class cancellation, etc.
If you have a smart phone these apps might make
your life a little easier (and most of them are free if
you search around):
 Dictionary/Thesaurus App
 Weather App
 Foreign Language Dictionary (if applicable)
 University/College Emergency Text Alerts
 Any other suggestions? 
