Let's be honest with ourselves, even during this pandemic we have found ourselves dragging slow, finding ourselves overworking, and having very little time to get things done or even to find time to spend it with those we cherish; and with this it can be difficult to figure out how to sort through all of this, so how do we do it? Time management. While it is easier said than done, time management can be difficult if you are not familiar with knowing how to use it to your advantage. With that being said, how can a person use time management in their daily life?

TIME BLOCK

While to-do lists can be great and can help keep things in check, it is much better to schedule your day in time blocks for tasks.

YOU CAN'T WORK ALL DAY

No matter what we may believe we cannot be working all day, the reasoning for this is that we need to have some time to relax, to shut off our mind, to spend time with our loved ones. While it is great to get work done we need to have an allotted time for all of the other good things in life.

DEADLINES

Deadlines have shown to help others to get whatever work done in a productive manner.

BREAK DOWN TASKS

If you do every task at the same time you are more than likely going to get burned out, and find yourself mixing tasks to a point that you have no idea of what is going on. Instead of doing that break down the tasks, making sure that each task has your full attention and gets finished before moving onto the next.

BLOCK OUT DISTRACTIONS

Turn off all notifications, make sure that your Facebook, Twitter, or whatever else might go off is shut off. All it will end up doing is distract you from the task at hand, subsequently taking you on a detour from what you were wanting finish.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
