Are you managing your time or is it controlling you?


Control your time and don't let it control you.

Please click on this link to first look at this PowerPoint.

I then meet with my students individually to hold them accountable to manage their time and to help them with any problems. Here is the handout that I give them.

For this project, we looked at several components related to time management:

1.Put your schedule and important assignments and events on Google calendar. It needs to be on your phone as well.

2.Choose 1 goal and put the daily tasks for that goal on Google calendar in the place where you normally waste time.

3.Choose at least 1 method for recording your daily tasks.

Put on your calendar.

Google Keep.

Text yourself your tasks.

Write down your tasks.

4.Beat procrastination. Do what you hate or dislike doing FIRST.
