Time Management
"Don't wait. The time will never be just right. "

One always has time enough, if one will apply it well.
Many students discover the need to develop their time management skills when they arrive at college. Unlike high school where teachers frequently structured the assignments and classes filled the day, in college, students will have less in-class time, more outside of class work, and a great deal of freedom and flexibility. Keys to successful time management include: • Self knowledge and goals • Developing and maintaining a personal, flexible schedule
