How to manage time? One of the questions that is really hard for me to answer. Promise! I always divide my day to the things I have to do. Pero madalas ay hindi nasusunod.
Who am I? I am Ms. Happy-Go-Lucky. Yeah right.. Para kasi sakin, bakit ko naman paplanuhin yun, e kung mangyayari talaga, mangyayari talaga yun. I hate to plan my life.
Pero ngayon, nahihirapan na ako. I don't know what I really want to do with my everyday. I always cram for school. I am on my 4th year of my 6-year course (YES! 2 years na lang :)), and this is THE START. I have 6 major subjects. Patayan kung patayan. Kaya yung pagiging happy-go-lucky ko, pinagsisisihan ko na.
Okay, so I am writing (or better typing) this, so help you\guys (like me) with the time management problems. I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU A VERY VERY SHORT LIST FOR YOU TO EASY REMEMBER THIS. *wink*
Let's start with this one. First, SET YOUR PRIORITIES. Kahit paulit-ulit nyo nang nababasa yan. Yan talaga ang una sa listahan. Why? How would you manage your time if you have no priorities, right? Mostly, I think, students ang magbabasa nito, kaya number 1 priority ay ang STUDIES. So, when the sun rise, I advice you to make a list of things to-do for the whole day. Include on your list your class schedule. And by the evening, before you go to bed, DO SOME ADVANCE READING OF YOUR INCOMING LESSONS. Since priority nating mga students ang studies, kailangan natin mag-sacrifice kahit konti para sa pag-aaral. Take note: FREE YOURSELF FROM ANY DISTRACTION WHILE STUDYING. An hour in the evening for studying won't kill you. ^_^
Second, DIVIDE YOUR TIME ACCORDING TO YOUR TASK. Simple lang din to, kung ano mas mahalaga, paglaanan mo ng oras. Kung ano mas mahirap, give more of your time to it. You can include on you schedule a 'recreational time'. Kung hindi ka naman masyadong busy, you can spare 1 hour of your day on surfing the net, watching tv programs, hang in the mall with friends, (and for me, I can do my writing hobby). Pero, kung busy kang tao, save it some other time. Sa madaling salita, kung ano ang priority mo, yun ang paglaanan mo ng oras. Everyday, we have different schedule, so not everyday is like a living hell. (joke!:))
Since, I told this is a very short list, This is the third and LAST on my list. STICK TO YOUR SCHEDULE. If you really want to achieve your goals, do what's on your list. Don't make your listed schedule as an display telling everyone how organize you are with your day. Focus guys. Your doing time management for you to achieve or to done something fruitful. Follow your schedule.
This is the end of my list. Pero thisis not the ending of my TIME MANAGEMENT advice. People, you have to have DISCIPLINE for you to have an organized day. Ako na nagsasabi, mahirap talaga gawin to kung hindi mo nakasanayan. But if you have the WILL-POWER on continuing this, masasanay ka din. ^_^
