Managing Your Time

As many of you know, I have been busy with school for a long time now and I apologize for keeping you waiting but some things just have to be done. It was a hectic past 3 weeks but it has finally come to a close with only a 120 page report due later this week which is well under way. I have done exceptionally well on all my exams (just so you know, I scored over 90% on all of them) and my GMAT exam which is a required exam for an MBA also went very well. Again, I score over 90% on the GMAT as well which is quite a big achievement, the way I see it. I think it was a good birthday present after all!

Since all this has been going on in my life, I decided to talk about how it is that I manage my time. Theres just so many things to do and sometimes I know that I feel that I hope that there were more hours in the day. Lets see if you agree with how I manage my time:

1) To-Do List - Everyone has a cell phone and if you don’t, then all it takes is a pen and paper to create a to-do list. A To-Do list can help you keep track of what needs to be done and when it needs to be done. If you are like me, my cell phone, ipod and my computer are all equipped with a to-do list so that I can make sure to keep track of everything that I need to get done.

2) Calendar - As silly as this sounds, a calendar is really helpful for someone like me who is a student or even a professional who is busy working. I print out blank calendars from the internet, specificially from this website, and then use it as a guide to match what I need to get done by what date. I use it to make sure that my assignments are turned in on time and I know several individuals who use it at work to keep track of project and report deadlines. Its really handy and it sounds really simple but it can really help you out tremendously if you use one.

3) Drive/Motivation - This last point can be controversial if you say that you’ve never been the “driven type” but its actually controllable. I know that I am super motivated to finish whatever I need to do. I dont take no for an answer and try to accomplish all my tasks. This involves being motivated and driven towards accomplishing the goals that you set for yourself. If I have something to do, I set my mind to completing it and I always make it happen.

So hopefully you’ve enjoyed this post. I know that it was short but I wanted to give you guys an update and see what you think about the things that help you manage your time. Keep me posted and Thanks again for all your emails and support. I greatly appreciate it!
