“Time Managers”


So a few weeks ago, I started a 5 blog mini series on time management. Afterwards I asked some college students to send me some ways in which they manage their time. So here are the top five.

The first one comes from Kaleah Merrieweather (American University). Her tip is to simply schedule things using her gmail calendar. She seems to love, but advises that it may be addicting, so be careful!

The next two are very similar, but they are such good ideas, I gotta mention both of them. This tip comes from Valeria Palacious and Kat Rendon (Both Georgetown University), and it’s multitasking. Valeria likes to do things like combining school work with simple tasks, such as outlining a paper while doing laundry. And Kat likes to combine exercise with studying.

The fourth one comes from Russ Greene (Georgetown University). His is to practice stuff that I care about every single day, even if just for 5-10 minutes I’m able to make slow but steady progress rather than slacking off for too long and then trying to cram at the last minute.

The fifth one comes from Nicholas Mathis. His is to pray when he starts to feel pressed or anxious. He said when he takes a breath/moment and prays, he feels refreshed and organized, along with the faith that gives him strength to finish his assignments. (Philipians 4:6-7)

I love all these ideas. Nothing better than getting practical advice to help us on a day to day basis. If you have any more tips, just leave comment. Until then, let’s all bask in glory and wisdom from these five time managers!
