Time Management

I struggle with time management. When I cannot manage my time efficiently I fall behind in classes and become overwhelmed. I often feel there is not enough time in the day. Time management is a typical problem people might come across in their lives more than once. What are some of the causes of struggling with time management?

One of the causes of struggling with time management can be social media. The whole world is right in your hands on a screen and it can be much more interesting than homework. Spending time looking through the newsfeed on facebook can easily migrate to looking on instagram, then watching your favorite youtubers: before you know it 10 minutes has turned into an hour of time taken away from the day.

Another cause of struggling with time management might be having a flooded to do list. People often become overwhelmed when there are multiple tasks at hand. Even if there is not a physical to do list, being aware of all the tasks that need to be accomplished can be draining. When people become overwhelmed they might give up in a sense, deciding to just relax their minds. Others might spend more time on dwelling about all the things needed to be done instead of actually doing them.

If we began to consider allowing our minds to relax, maybe we could eventually take on our tasks with more ease. Then time management might not be as stressful.
