Many people recognize that they struggle with time management and, although they want to lead a more productive and less stressful life, they don't always know where to start. There are three main obstacles to achieving good time management skills: organization, distractions, and procrastination. To find out where I personally struggle with time management, I kept a log of my hour-by-hour activities for a week. According to the data I collected during the week, I found that my main problem with time management is procrastination. Some ways I can try to improve in this area are to recognize and avoid my distractions, make each task relevant to my situation, and create a routine that helps me dedicate enough time to each task. I didn't expect to find out that procrastination was my main problem. I knew it was a small problem for me at least, but I thought distractions were my biggest detractor from studying. That is until I realized that I don't get distracted as easily as I thought, but that I use my distractions as a form of procrastination. For example, on Monday afternoon I had no problem committing to a two-hour Spanish study session. For many people, this would have been too long a time to focus on one thing, but I managed to complete all the necessary reading and online homework in one sitting, without taking out my phone or other distractions. Unfortunately, following this significant study session, I gave myself a “break” to check email and social media that turned into an hour-long period of procrastination. I allowed myself to be distracted because I knew I had to start my English test that evening, a test I was dreading. course. In one- or two-hour periods, I need to focus on completing coursework, reviewing tests, and hopefully getting into the habit of working ahead. I know it will be a challenge for me to stick to a certain study schedule, but I believe I will benefit from it in the long run. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to solving it. Now that I know that I struggle with procrastination, I can work on improving my time management techniques. I no longer need to fall victim to distractions or lack of motivation. I can create a study routine that will keep me on track and focused. Even as an undeclared specialist, I must keep in mind that I am working toward one goal: discovering the purpose God has set for me and becoming the best person possible to achieve that purpose. No more excuses; It's time to get to work.
