The Best Investment of Time / By: Wafaa Farraj Alqarni

       If you are incapable to organize your time as a student, you will be able to manage your time easily after you do the following beneficial step-by-step procedure. The first step is using a well-organized schedule. Use your phone to help you manage your time by using time management applications such as Flora-FocusPlants. Moreover, write down your daily missions, but after you finish your plans cross them off from your list which will help you feel proud of your achievements. You must do your list based on priorities. The second step is rearranging your priorities which is a very important step. For example, if you have a family trip and your friends have a party, choose the most important people who you will spend your time with! It is your family of course. Another situation when your friends want you to go out with them and you have a lot of accumulated lessons before exams, again you have to prioritize what is better for you, and learn to say “ No ” when you need. Also, you should study and review your lessons day-by-day before exams’ times to reduce stressing yourself in the tight time. Third, if you get tired from everything in your life and you can not stand anyone, simply give yourself a break. You have to give yourself a beautiful break away from annoying persons and stressful work to increase your productivity at an ideal time. Finally, the last and the most important step is being independent and responsible about managing and controlling your own time. Try to solve your problems by yourself and do not rely on others because no one else will care about your valuable time more than you. For instance, when you are late on school and get stuck in the traffic, do not blame the overcrowding. You have to wake up early to avoid it. In conclusion, after following the previous steps you will be capable to manage your time.
