Time Managing 8 of 10

Time Management

8 of 10

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time – classes, homework and activities – with some family help. College gives you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produce while planning next week’s menu.

Someone said “Wherever you are, be there.” Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment at hand. You can’t go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.

Like many high school students, you may want- or need- to work part time. Working takes a lot of time and energy, though, so before getting a job, make sure that you think about your ability to handle both work and your education.

Important Considerations

You have to weigh a number of factors when deciding whether to take on apart-time job. It’s important to get as much information as possible, so you can figure out what choice makes the most sense for you.

Schedule a meeting with your school counselor to discuss the idea of working. Talk to your counselor about why you want to work and what type of position you’re seeking.

Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

“The time is always right to do what is right.”

-Martin Luther King, Jr.

Reflection: This statement has “right” written all over it. There is never a wrong time to do what’s right. No matter what day it is, no matter what time during the day it is, the right should always be done. There is no excuse to choose otherwise since the right should always be done.

Example: an example of “the time is always right to do what is right would be even if you’re going through a tuff time, no matter how hard life gets for you, that doesn’t mean it is time to choose the wrong. The country is in a difficult time economically. Many of us are affected by it. This does not mean that one will go and rob a bank. ALWAYS choose the right.
