Time Management
“It’s all about working
SMARTER – not harder”
This is a way to gain greater control over your use of
time and energy, instead of allowing tasks and
circumstances to control you.
When does Time Management start?
The sooner the better. It is in the students’ best interest to
begin this process as soon as possible. The transition
from high school to college is a hectic and confusing
time; if these strategies are learned prior to college, they
will have a better chance of starting on the right foot.
