Time Management: Write it Down!
- Figure out quickly how long it will take you to complete tasks.
- Don't start projects and essays the night before they are due. If you have a book to read, determine how many pages you need to read each night to get it done on time.
- Make yourself a schedule and stick to it!
- If you need help, ask.
Follow the Golden Rule
There is nothing wrong with thinking back to elementary school for this piece of advice. We want to be respected, liked, and treated fairly. Be a good person to others and they will be good to you.
