• You cannot control time. You cannot create time. However,
you can effectively use time for your benefit.
• The way you use your time reflects what you value in life.
What you “spend” your time on indicates your priorities.
• The more classes you take means more demand on your
time. That sounds simplistic, but many students fail to look
at the big picture when planning a semester.
• Procrastination can rob you of your time and derail your
best intentions.
• Organize your personal and portable spaces outside of the
classroom.
• Organization time and space will help to limit the chaos and
stress in your life.
