Identify your personal strengths and weaknesses.


By isolating your strengths and weaknesses, you will stay alert to potential time management challenges, which you will be able to stem before they become full-blown problems.

1

Stay on top of your calendar.


• Your calendar is your key to maintaining a structured and organized student life. • Write down all your academic and professional commitments, as well as your social ones.

2

Create “Zones” where you cannot be disturbed.


• First, find a place in your home, in the campus library or wherever, where you will be able to study unperturbed. • Eliminate all personal distractions from your “zone.”• If you need the internet for research purposes, you will have to muster up the will power not to check sports scores or your email while you work.

3

Prioritize


• The most important tasks, due in the shortest amount of time, should generally be tackled first.• Come up with a plan that works with your natural rhythms in order to complete these tasks.

4

Reward yourself


• Earning your MBA shouldn’t just be about becoming a super-human self-taskmaster.• When goal-setting, factor in rewards for achievement.• Promise yourself a movie or a night out with friends once you finish, or make a substantial dent in, a project.

5

If you have successfully implemented all the above time management tips, you know you will be able to accomplish all your tasks and still manage to live a little.
