Time management of a student

admin — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 06:35:02 +0000

Isolate your time wasters and set up a plan to cut them down. You cannot be an evening person if your classes begin in the morning. Change your sleeping pattern. Learn to eat a little faster but chew well still. Be aware of your tight schedule when in the bathroom or dressing up. If it is the traffic, find out what hour of the day is the leanest or least busy. Being there early does not always solve the problem, because “early” is the time that everybody waits for a ride and traffic is worst. Calculate the time to commute to school give at least half an hour’s allowance.

If you have many house chores, there are many ways of reducing or hastening them. Or you can ask help from siblings, learn faster ways of completing the chores or adjusting the time when the younger siblings you take care of are asleep. Speed reading is something you cna surely learn. Ask the help of your English department head. And you can schedule your study when your friends are studying too or are at home. Otherwise, explain your objective to them and suggest that you all study at the same time in your respective homes and have fun another time.

Scheduling your activities

You must determine what hours of your day are fixed and what hours can be used for other concerns. Your class schedule is fixed. Neither can lunch or break time be moved. But it can reduced by eating more speedily without risking health or giving up the short rest afterwards, so the remaining time can be used constructively. You can find un-fixed free time in between classes, before classes in the morning if you come in early enough, during trips to and from school or when waiting for your school bus to come or to leave, half of your snack hour at home when back from school, all afternoon, after supper and before retiring at night. You may also find more time on Saturdays and Sundays.

Have a list of activities

Are you a morning or evening person? Do you take hours in the shower? Or in the dressing room? Do you eat rather slowly? Is your house too fra from school that commuting or the traffic makes you often come to class late?

Be honest in the self test. What things take much time from your studying? Do you do the marketing and cooking at home? Or watch your younger siblings Do you need to develop speed reading? Or are your friends often with you and you have to exert mighty efforts all the time just to leave or send them away when you must study?

Besides teachers, the school management and staff, try to know and make friends with the school’s rank and file employees and casuals. The gate keeper, janitors, security guards, canteen waiters and waitresses, church servers, gardeners, drivers, mechanics, office assistants,laborers,laundrywomen and even the vendors are daily personalities to meet and befriend.

They can give valueable suggestions as to whom to appraoch concerning your term oaoer or report, for example, by directing you to the approriate teacher, dean or staff. They are in the know, They also spice up your otherwise tedious schoolwork.

In the kitchen, friendship with the waitresses can win you faster services, bonuses or discounts. The gatekeeper may help you with your things on stormy days or watch for your visitors. And even regular pleasantries with the gardener start your day bright and make you feel good at having lighted up his face.
