I know of many people who are quite incapable of managing their time, sometimes even out of control. Personally, time management has been easy for me because I have been doing it since primary school but sometimes, it does get kind of hard. Especially when I don't have a list to follow, I'll spend that whole day doing nothing or just random bits here and there because I'm so lost. I have an obsession with planning things down to the details but not too much till it becomes overwhelming.
I have also tried many different ways to organize my days and it changes every now and then depending on my situation. Some of my methods:
a. From 9am to 5pm, I must only do my assignments. I'll treat it as my "working hours". For me, this method only works well on days with long classes but imagine if you only have a 2-hour class that day, procrastination will start to kick in.
b. Writing everything down to the detail by the hour on what I should do specifically. This works well when I'm in secondary school but not too well now that I'm in uni because unexpected things tend to pop up and ruin the schedule and it bugs me. A lot :(
c. Setting an alarm to stop doing assignments every 2 hours. For example, I'll finish my dinner at 8pm and I will do my work till 10pm. I must not do other stuff before that which might distract me.Like the internet
d. Doing only 1 or 2 assignments only per day instead of cramming everything down to the hour. This is my latest method and it works best for me. I don't feel that stress as compared to looking at a long list of assignments. I even managed to squeeze in nap time and motivates me to finish what I have planned. The downside of this is that it won't really work during super busy time of the semester as I'll have to do 3-4 assignments per day to be able to keep up. :(Which means no nappy.
Anyway! I found this on my Youtube recommendations and it makes a lot of sense to me. It talks about taking control of your free time. Excited to try it tomorrow =D I've been quite listless recently so this will be a good start again.
