If I were to rate my time management skills on a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate myself at least a 5.5. I am not a five however I am not a six when it comes to prioritizing my time efficiently. I am a horrible procrastinator. I have always found myself doing my best work when I am pushed harder and under a lot of pressure. When I have no factors pressuring me to get my work done I begin to slack off and procrastinate by doing a load of unnecessary work. My main problem is that I am used to working in a noisy and hectic environment, because that is how my household was. My little brother somewhere running around with his friends or yelling at the television because he is losing in his game of 2k. Or my mom yelling for me to come up or down stairs to either do something for her or wash the dishes. …show more content…
I know it is unhealthy but that is what works best for me. Most of time since I have been here has been wasted on the phone or sleeping. My roommate is rather quiet and because I find it hard to work in quiet conditions I facetime or call my friends or family members so that I am able to have some sort of noise while I do my work. I have to get out of this habit because although she may not seem bothered by it I could be interrupting her study habits. The suggestions that were most helpful to me were planning and prioritizing, healthy lifestyle, and positive thinking. I have never been the type to plan out the events ahead because things were always relayed several times by teachers or my friends would be there giving me reminders as I did them. However, I do not have that same treatment here I have to learn to prioritize. In the beginning I was bad about using my planner but now I am starting to get the hang of
I think that I could improve my time management skills by making sure I limit my distractions. Facebook is a big thing I like to check periodically so if I block out a little bit of time throughout the day to have that moment to check facebook or phone a friend or family; my thought is that hopefully by the time I am ready to do homework, I will have gotten that all out of my system which will allow me to keep on task to finish the assignment or project. Another thing that helps me that I should do more often is find a place with the environment that will help me focus on my tasks and not be distracted. I find that a lot of times when I work on my school work at home I want to do other things such as clean house. When my house is a mess I find myself stepping away from the computer to clean it. So when I have to do a assignment it would be best if I can leave the house to finish up my assignment. I think it would also benefit me to plug in some time for myself to have fun. This is something that I don't do often and have a hard time finding the time to do, but I feel that if I did that it would help me to stay focused on tasks when that time comes and to not be so
I know that my weak spot is time management but I am always looking and thinking of ways to help. I try to do my work as soon as it is assigned. To help improve my time management skills I have set

I have always faced various challenges when it comes to managing my time. Some of the challenges I have are procrastination, knowing my priorities, and getting my priorities in order. I am very easily distracted and distractions are what causes me to procrastinate. I will tell myself that I will do something in five minutes, but then those five minutes go by and I tell myself another five minutes and so on. Putting time off is a way of telling myself that my priorities are not
So staying to true form after facing the two big issues causing my procrastination I immediately began procrastinating my solving procrastination. However after two days I realized that this really was a problem that needed solving right here and now. So I began to brainstorm how I could solve my problem. The next week of the class couldn’t have come at a better time since we focused mainly on procrastination. After reviewing my notes from that class and looking to the textbook for advice, I found the solutions to my first problem to-do lists, calendars, timers, and specific study and work times with

I never had any problems with managing my own time, however, when I started working as client training administrator at Eversheds, I understood that I need to use some special techniques in order to complete so many tasks in such short time. I understood that every day has only 24 hours and no matter how busy I am, these hours not going to be longer. Observing how everyone working at Eversheds, I also understood that people who are more effective in planning their time tend to be more productive and more efficient. It was hard to learn how to prioritise, because sometimes I had many tasks and all of them were very important and urgent. However, over the time I learned to understand how to deal with different tasks and how to do them faster
Time management is an important aspect of every individual’s life as everyone should prioritize their responsibilities, and ensure that there is the appropriate amount of time for everything. In fact, time is the regulator of almost all activities and it is something you always lose but can never get back.

Right now I have the privilege to be in a program that is growing and stretching me in the area of how I manage my time. I am usually not very successful at managing my time personally, but being as busy as I am in my internship, I have made my time a priority. I usually only have one day off a week and I use it for resting and resting alone. It might seem counter-productive to take a day off to rest, but rest assured that my other days are jammed packed full of productivity. For me taking a whole day off is like rewarding me for a job well done, which means I work the entire day for the other six days in the week. I feel like I can do more, work harder, and be awake longer during those days because I give myself that day to look forward too. I don’t know if I would suggest this to everyone, but for the season that I am in, this is definitely working beautifully.
This piece of reflection will focus on my progress and experiences during my placement in Campbelltown Hospital Medical E ward. I will be using the Gibbs 1988 model of reflection (Gibbs, 1988). This cycle helped me to reflect in a structured and effective way. The subject of this paper will reflect on my time management skills whilst maintaining the necessary standards of practice at all times (NMBA, 2016).
I do agree that these four tips for implementing time management into your life are a great idea. Some students already have this quality. If you don't already have good time management skills, that's alright; you are never too old to change. If there is something about myself I want to change, I devise a plan and make it happen.

Throughout high school, I have struggled with these questions. After years of missing deadlines and submitting subpar work, I began to create an environment adverse to procrastination. I realized that by taking on harder work and making more commitments
I have poor attitudes towards managing time, such as managing time to study. Developing effective study habits is important as they will help me to use my study time more productively and will also help to handle stress. Therefore, learning some effective memory techniques, developing a good support network and working with other class members will enhance our study habits (Anthony, 2012). So it is important for me to make an action plan about time
