Time management and motivation
Kira:
I use two planners. In one I list my homework assignments and in the other
my appointments and work. I highlight each item as I finish it.
Dawn:
I write a "to do" list once or twice a week. I decide on priorities and try
to do the items in order of importance.
Belia:
I write out the assignments from each syllabus in my planner daily. I use
a different color ink for each class. Each day I also write down my reading
and other assignments to do.
Melissa:
I use a 16-week calendar and plot out all exams, papers, and major projects.
This allows me to see where my busiest weeks are and to plan accordingly.
Nancy:
Writing assignments in my Daily helps me plan which days I may need to take
off from work.
M.:
Check and reply to E Mail once a week. Get an answering machine; don't get
a TV.
Kathy:
Resisting friends is important. You have to learn to say no. I hate to miss
things. I want to be there having fun, but I remind myself I have to keep
my priorities straight. School has to come first. There will be other times
to see my friends.
Marko:
I tell my friends to leave me alone during the week. Weekends are for friends,
but during the week is for school. I shut off the TV and leave the phone
unplugged.
Michele:
With a lot of jobs on campus it's possible to get some studying done at work.
I limit my work to 10 hours a week.
Teayonia:
To keep myself motivated, when I finish studying I reward myself with food
and different activities. I also think about what happened to my friends
who didn't keep focused on their grades.
Evelyn:
I reward myself by shopping! It's something to look forward to when studying.
Brian:
I keep a daily reminder. My friends laugh at me when I have to check my book
to see if I can hang out with them, but if I have a test coming up -- or
a paper -- I have to prioritize.
Tyesa:
I tell my friends not to call at certain hours. If they don't listen, I tell
them that I am paying too much money not to get an A out of my classes.
