3. Time Managment

"By taking 1 hour per day for independent study, 7 hours per week, 365 hours in a year, one can learn at the rate of a full-time student. In 3-5 years, the average person can become an expert in the topic of their choice, by spending only one hour per day." (Wetmore.D, N.D) This is an example of how working your time around certain activities can benefit you extremely in the future.  Being a full-time student myself, I would find it hard to find an hour to sit down and study.  This is because working around college, assignments and other daily activities does not leave even an hour to spare.  This shows how time management can be crucial to our development educationally and personally.

I find it easy to manage my time if I plan out in my head all the things I need to get done in the day and I leave sufficient time to do these things.  Well, in an ideal world that is how it happens, but realistically distractions are a major part of bad time management.  Television, Facebook, family members, friends, partners all of these things distract us from the things we need to do daily.

My advice would be find what works for you, may it be writing down a schedule, an application on your phone or I have even seen people use post-its stuck around their house.  All these will help manage your time around your hectic lives.
