Many people recognize that they have difficulty managing their time and, although they want to live a more productive and less stressful life, they do not know always where to start. There are three main barriers to learning good time management skills: organization, distractions, and procrastination. In order to find out where I personally struggle with time management, I kept a record of my time activities for a week. From the data I collected over the week, I found that my biggest problem when it comes to time management is procrastination. I can work to improve in this area by recognizing and avoiding my distractions, making each task relevant to my situation, and creating a routine to help me devote enough time to each task. I didn't expect to find this. procrastination was my main problem. I knew it was at least a slight problem for me, but I thought distractions were my biggest detractors in my studies. That was until I realized that I'm not as easily distracted as I thought, but instead use my distractions as a form of procrastination. For example, on Monday afternoon, I had no problem committing to a two-hour study session for Spanish. For many people, this would have been too long a period of time to focus on just one thing, but I was able to complete all the necessary reading and online assignments in one sitting, without taking out my phone or other distractions. Unfortunately, following this important study session, I took a “break” to check my emails and social media which turned into an hour-long period of procrastination. I got distracted because I knew I would have to start my English homework that evening - an assignment I had been dreading. course. In one or two hour blocks of time, I need to focus on completing coursework, reviewing tests, and hopefully getting into the habit of working ahead. I know it will be a challenge for me to stick to a certain study schedule, but I think I will benefit from it in the long run. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to solving it. Now that I know I struggle with procrastination, I can work on improving my time management techniques. I no longer need to fall victim to distractions or a lack of motivation. I can create a study routine that will keep me on track and focused. Even as an undeclared adult, I must keep in mind that I am working toward a goal: to discover the purpose God has for me and to become the best I can be to achieve that purpose. No more excuses; it's time to get to work.
