Time Management
• Goal: To find the
ideal balance
among the things
you want to do and
the things you need
to do.

What kind of things “eat up” or
waste your time?
There are 168 hours in every week.
There is no way to get more time
into a week. There are just choices
and decisions we make that
determine ways to better use or
manage the time that we have.

Why is learning to manage your time so
important, but sometimes so difficult?
The practice of time management is not new to you. You were busy prior to UT, and did your best to squeeze everything—academics, family, financial, social, and recreation—into your limited calendar space.
Then why is time management so much tougher at the university level?
It’s the academics.
Quantity: higher volume of required reading, papers, exams, taxing assignments
Quality: higher professor expectation = greater time commitment

What are some time
management strategies you use?• Set goals
• Use a planner (paper or electronic)
• Treat school like a full-time job (8am-5pm)
• Be intentional with your study time
• Study in places where you can concentrate
• Organize your days and weeks
• Utilize daytime study hours
• Take advantage of waiting time
• Avoid marathon study sessions
• Learn to say “no”
• Study smarter, not harder!
‘Time Management’ is really a misnomer – the challenge is not to manage time, but to manage
ourselves.
Stephen Covey
