In the article ā€œ7 Time Management Tips for Online Studentsā€ by Kelsey Miller, the author lays out fundamentals or counters for how each person could improve their time management. She gives the readers seven steps on what they should start doing daily whether itā€™s to plan ahead of time, reward yourself, or even focusing on whatā€™s on hand. I like how when she explains the plan ahead of time she gives the reader a schedule of day by day on how sheā€™d attack a big assignment that would be due in a week. Another step that caught my eye was the not multi-task which I tend to do a lot. Not putting too much on your plate once isn’t a good thing for many people because it can sometimes feel overwhelming when trying to attack all tasks at once which, can ultimately stop someone from doing any work, to begin with. Focusing on one assignment or task at a time could improve the quality of the work drastically.

Throughout my whole life, I have been the last-minute man meaning I would do anything that needs to be done whether itā€™s an application or even an assignment an hour or even minutes before the due date which was a bad habit because I would sometimes miss out on opportunities due to not hand things in on time. I noticed how much my bad habit of time management had affected my work and I noticed my grades were being affected because my best quality of work is when I sit down and thinking about what to write before just writing down anything. I had made improvements to attack my bad habit by pounding in my head, the mindset that ā€œI should get this over with now, so I donā€™t have to worry about it in the futureā€. I noticed that I would listen to music on stuff that I donā€™t have to read and would be able to get it down faster. Lastly doing work in my intellectual home which for me is a quiet environment is game-changing for me.
