Hi to all of you out there!
How is everyone doing? I have been struggling with time ever since I started high school. Everyday I have to go to school for 8 hours, which is very long. After school, there is always homework and/or studying to do. I don't tend to do them until the very last minute because they are not important until the time comes. Now that I am in college, class schedules are very flexible, but there is still homework and studying and on top of that I have to work. I always fight with time when it comes to these things. Every now and then will be doing my homework on the day its due, studying the night before a test, or running to work due to the shortage of time.
I consider myself to be a very organized person because I clean up my home every now and then so that I will be able to find things more easily. The problem is I just can't manage my precious time. HELP!!!

I see that there are several classmates being confronted with a shortage of time. I can relate to you. Throughout my school years I have always left my studying and school work to the last minute. Though to me I work alot better under pressure. It's not the best of feelings and a very bad habit. I don't suggest it. When it comes to school work or studying I think it's just a matter of conditioning yourself. This way you prepare yourself in a timely effective manner. Since time is valuable and we have so much at hand what I tend to do is do alot of my reading while commuting to and from work and school. I also do most of my reading right before I go to bed. So far it has worked for me. As for school work I normally save my Sunday afternoons or evenings to tackle any projects that might be due. This is my approach...It works for me only if I enforce it. It might just work for you too...Good luck!
I have the exact same problem. I am very neat and organized, but when it comes to managing time...I feel as if I should ask the government to add 6 more hours to each day. Sometimes it's not that we can't manage our time, but that there literally isn't enough time in the day. The best solution for our problems would be to try and use our organizational skills with our time management problem. Sit down weekly and make a schedule. include ample time for school, homework, and work. Of course, don't forget to add in time for yourself. When you get overwhelmed, take a walk, have a drink, smoke a cigarette. Whatever it is that calms you down, do it. You can't go through life always freaking out. And my motto is: Don't sweat the small stuff.
Good luck!
when it comes to study a night before the exam .. I wouldn't do that. I did the same thing many time and the night before the exam becomes a nightmare. I also hard to me to do anything in school when it is not due, but during this semester I am trying to change it. I started to study cost accounting in the middle of september therefore I can easily cover all the material until the middle of october. managing the time is crucial in your case. You also have to motivate yourself to study even if the due date is far away ;) this will save a lot of stress.
Hey, you are not alone in terms of struggling to manage your time. The good thing is that you are “organized”. We all have to work to support ourselves and at the same time go to school. I know that it is a very hard to work, go to school and want to have some free time for fun. For me I had to take the difficult decision to give up my fun time and use it all for school and work. We all know that this is something temporary and will pass like it never happened before, so all we have to do is use our little free time most effectively.
Hi.
I also have a same problem.
I tried to keep my schedule by putting every detail things to do.
However, it did not work since I did not look at my scheduler.
I am still struggling to manage my time. Keep a list of things you have to do everyday. Above these, put things you have to complete.
Make this note daily bases.
Let's try!
I am facing the same problem as you, work and school at the same time and start doing hw at the last miniute, but i dont think we are the only 2 doing that. for the time problem , i guess with good planning and know what we are going to do everyday will help us a lot to solve the problem
