Some people might call me a little funny, but I am a time management freak.  This is especially true during the months that I am in college where time is at a premium and there’s never quite enough to go around.  My method is kind of strange, but it works for me, so I thought I might share with you and see what you think.

What I do, is take all the course syllabuses that we are given at the start of the term, go through them, and take out all the exact dates that assignments are due.  Quite a few my classes also provide details of what reading should be done each week and I am sure to mark that on my calendar as well.

In an effort to balance my coursework with the essays I have to write and make sure to start on the term papers weeks before hand with the goal of working on them a little bit each day.  This way, I’m not trying to get them done at the last minute and it minimizes the number of all nighters that I end up having to do.

So far, this method is worked well for me over the past couple of years, and though I’ve had to tweak it a little bit, it has ensured that I get all my work done in a timely manner and that I get good marks in all of my classes.
