Time Management

Putting off tasks can become a bad habit. Often, we put off tasks that we think will be boring, difficult, painful, or time-consuming. You might put off a task because you don’t want to do it, don’t like to do it, don’t have time to do it, or you might feel stressed thinking about it. It could also be a task that you don’t know how to approach, so it seems easier for you to avoid it. 

Time is tricky to manage. You may start the day feeling like 16 hours is plenty of time to accomplish all your tasks, but before you know it, your day is over. Everyone experiences this, including students! When we feel busy and overwhelmed, it can sometimes seem impossible to accomplish everything we need to. This may lead to a feeling of failure at the end of the day. 

The first week of a course can seem a bit overwhelming, especially after you’ve had a chance to review the syllabus and size up the workload. Every great course is packed with information to learn, concepts to practice, and projects to help solidify new skills. 

Even individuals who are content with their lives still need to set goals. We all like to discover new aspects about ourselves, but it can sometimes be difficult to see the path from who we are today to who we want to be tomorrow, next year, and even years down the road.
