Time Management

Before you became a “student” you were undoubtedly balancing many different responsibilities. Just like a large percentage of the adult population, you swear you need more than 24 hours in a day. With the addition of more commitment of your time, you will have to make choices in your daily lifestyle. What is ‘time management’? We can’t really manage time… it is what it is. What we need to learn how to do is manage ourselves. There are many ways to approach taking control of your time. Whether you prefer books, or using the internet, help is out there if you need it. The Missouri State Collegiate Reading and Learning website has several links to many different topics, including Time Management.
