Time management will help students to plan out their schedules in a way that they can easily work with. If you have a tendency to procrastinate, you should practice time management. You should not wait until the last minute to do the things you have to do.

Planning is key to time management. Turn big jobs into smaller jobs. If you have a major project due in the next four weeks, break the project into smaller sections or parts that are easy for you to handle. Assign a certain section for you to do within each week before the due date and follow through with the plans.

You should keep a weekly schedule, such as a planner, to help remind you what is coming up. This includes due dates for assignments, too. Planners help keep your plans organized. Keep your plans flexible, too, in case something new comes up and you have to change your plans.

Keep a “Daily List” or a “To-do-list” so that you know what you have to do within the day or the next day. Number each item by importance and cross each off as soon as you complete it.
