Tips on Time Management

       I hope that you all had a happy holiday season! It's my first week back at school this week and I'm sure it is for many of you too. In addition to my arrival back to school I have two Biology quizzes in one week! Although, with extensive studying and sufficient review I believe that I should be fine as long as I prioritize my time wisely. This brings me to the topic of my post today: tips on time management.

In this post my goal is to explain to you ways in which you can take charge of your time to make the best of it. Here they are:
      1.When you have an extensive amount of work to get done in a short amount of time, it would be wise to do it in bursts of at least 30 minutes and then take at most five minute breaks in between so that your brain does not go on overload.
      2. Prioritize what is most important to get done in your time.
               - Example: If you are failing math and passing english but you have homework in both, then it would probably be to your advantage to begin with math as you seem to be mastering english better.                                                             
      3. Study main points first and go into the details later because if you do not understand key points, then you will most likely not understand their specifics right away.
      4. Do not wait until the last day to study.
      5. Do not stay up all night to study because then your brain will be tired the next day and it will be harder to focus on the task that you prepared for.
      6. Plan ahead by writing out when and where you are going to get things done.
      7. Work first and play later because you'll regret it if you don't.

      These tips are just a few ideas on what you can do to manage your time and to minimize your stresses about your tasks at hand. If you have other ideas, throw them in too, or let me know by commenting on this post, tweeting me (@RollasonCharlie), or messaging me on Google Plus.
 
      Next week I plan on delving more so into the community service part of my blog beginning with tips on how to get involved in your community. For now I'll leave you with some pictures of my school Pep Band and I marching in the Coral Springs Parade from this year in pictures 105-113.
