//**Time Management Issues for Modern Students**//
So, you're working on your project and feel like there just aren't enough hours in the day. As a college student in a campus environment that happens to a lot of students. To those of us in a non-standard college environment that possibility can increase exponentially. Work, socializing, family, friends, hobbies, housework, these all contribute to losing time and ability to focus and work effectively.

How often do you get a knock at the door when you have just sat down with a book to read? The kids start screaming when you just got in the tub? The mailperson arrive while you’re on the phone? How often do you get working and realize you only have 2 hours left for sleep?

If any or all of these are familiar, then like many other students, there might be things you could do to help manage your time better. One of the first things to do to help organize and restructure your time to get the most out of the hours you have is to start with charting your time.

Once you have charted your time and found areas you want to improve in, goals you want to set, it's time to find a way to set priorities in a way that works for you. There are many ways of doing this, but we'll talk about these here...

To Do Lists SMART

With work the Time Charts will help you understand where your time is going. Then you can follow up with To Do Lists or SMART to determine how you want to proceed to work to reach your goals.
