If you\u2019re at all like me, then you\u2019re probably involved in seven different clubs and working three jobs on campus while also balancing an internship and multiple social events. Okay, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I am definitely involved in a lot of stuff on campus, and I\u2019m sure you are too.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, chances are you\u2019re probably feeling a bit overwhelmed. Yes, we just came back from a long break, but things will start speeding up before you know it. When life gets busy, it can be easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of stuff happening. So, without further ado, here are my tips for mastering time management in college.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Compartmentalize.<\/strong> It\u2019s easy to feel overwhelmed when you actually think about all the stuff that you have to do, so don\u2019t think about it all at once! Think about things in groups or compartments. For example, I group my weekly assignments by each of my four classes in my mind. This way, I can think about the amount of work I have to do one class at a time, which narrows down the total amount of schoolwork that I have to think about. Additionally, studies have shown that using this method regularly helps our brains manage the amount of information they have to process.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Know when to stop yourself.<\/strong> If you\u2019re already overwhelmed by a bunch of stuff on your plate, don\u2019t agree to do more things! This can be hard to do, especially if you\u2019re someone who is a people pleaser. It’s important to put yourself first, which means limiting the amount of work you take on! Know your limits, and say no to things if you think they\u2019ll be too much for you.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Eliminate distractions.<\/strong> If you\u2019re someone who gets easily distracted by technology, friends, or other things, know how to balance your social life and schoolwork. If you can\u2019t do work when you\u2019re around others because you know you\u2019ll just end up socializing, set some alone time aside for schoolwork. If you get distracted by your phone, then keep some distance from technology so that you can get your work done! Know yourself, and know where you need to be when you need to get schoolwork done.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        I hope these tips were helpful in getting you to manage your time better! College can be quite overwhelming and busy, so being able to manage your time wisely is essential.
