As a student it’s really important to have time mangement, so this is how I use my time first in the morning 4:00 am I wake up every day because that is the time of my devotion and that is the time to fix my things so 4 – 5:38am I finish packing my things so that I will be ready so there will be no rushing of time, 6:00am that is the time of preparing my stuff for school, especially during Mondays because that is the time of our Flag Ceremony so I need to be there early in the morning to prepare the sound system so that it will go smooth, after the Flag Ceremony that is where our first period begins the Filipino Subject, by the way once you organize every thing it always go smooth as possible because it’s not just the time that you are organizing it’s how you react to the specifically to the time so let’s go back to the time of our class so after the first subject there goes the T L E it’s not the thing you see when you open your data and choose 4g so in TLE we usually do the measuring in the house because it’s one of the livelyhood that needed to be learn so we measure and we just finish that lesson so let’s go to the third subject which is science there we learn how the brain and heart works and how it is connected in our body, and after that there our break time 🎉🎉 me I use the breaktime as a rest time because I wake up early and when we have an a assignment in other subject, so after the break time there is our subject English in that subject we usually do fun stuff,
After that our next subject is MAPEH where we have so many activity and we know we can finish it in time, after our next subject is Math in this subject we usually do notes and solving after Math we have our Values subject where we use the Bible instead of the book because the Bible is the word of God and we can really focus in the Word of God after that it’s our time to go home. Me after the school I go to our store to rest quite a bit because I need to rest so after I rest I go home and ready my self for another day, and the other day I repeat the cycle so that I will not lose my time and while managing it, so during my weekends usually it’s alternate during saturday I go to our church and practice for Sunday and to prepare everything, usually when Im late kuya glean helps me to finish our set up so that I can operate the tech, because we need to ready, so as you see my grammar is needed to be fix so I will put a quote about time mangement
“Be on time. Better three hours too soon, than one minute too late”.
-unknown
It’s really better to be advance than to prepare for an hour.
That is why time mangement is really important because of our priorities that we have and we need to be responsible in every task we have, As a student we are given a wisdom to know what we need to do and to learn whta we need to learn because there our times that the same mistake we made in our past, we accidentaly repeat it in our present times.

8 Tips for Effective Time Management
Time is precious, particularly when it comes to running a small business. Yet there are never more than 24 hours in a day. Some entrepreneurs respond to this fact of life with focus and purpose. Others freak out.
Are you in the latter group? You don’t have to be. With the right approach, you can work efficiently, productively, and relatively stress-free.
Here are eight tips for effectively managing your time:
1. Know your goals.
Make sure you’re engaging in activities that support your business goals, both short- and long-term. Everything else is a potential time-waster. Your daily plan should revolve around working on tasks and activities that directly relate to generating income and growing your business.
2. Prioritize wisely.
Stephen Covey, co-author of First Things First, offers an organizational tool for your to-do list based on how important and urgent tasks are.
Looking at what goes into making up your day, where do your activities fit into these categories?
Important and urgent — Tasks that must be done. Do them right away.
Important but not urgent — Tasks that appear important, but upon closer examination aren’t. Decide when to do them.
Urgent but not important — Tasks that make the most “noise,” but when accomplished, have little or no lasting value. Delegate these if possible.
Not urgent and not important — Low-priority stuff that offer the illusion of “being busy.” Do them later.
Write down your three or four “important and urgent” tasks that must be addressed today. As you complete each one, check it off your list. This will provide you with a sense of accomplishment and can motivate you to tackle less essential items.
3. Just say no.
You’re the boss. If you have to decline a request in order to attend to what’s truly important and urgent, do not hesitate to do so. The same goes for any projects or activities that you’ve determined are headed nowhere: Be prepared to move on to more productive tasks. Learn from the experience to avoid wasting time later on.
4. Plan ahead.
One of the worst things you can do is jump into the workday with no clear idea about what needs to get done. The time you spend thinking ahead and planning your activities is trivial compared with the time you’ll lose jumping from one thing to the next (and rarely completing anything). Depending on your personality, try one of these options:
The night before — At the end of the day, take 15 minutes to clear your desk and put together a list of the next day’s most pressing tasks. It’s a great decompression technique, and you’ll feel better sitting down at a clean desk in the morning.
First thing in the morning — Arrive a few minutes early and assemble your prioritized to-do list (see #2). This may prove to be the most productive part of your day.
5. Eliminate distractions.
Start paying attention to the number of times someone interrupts you when you’re in the midst of an important task. Track self-induced interruptions, too, particularly those of the social media variety. Your smartphone is extremely useful, but it’s also addictive and among the most insidious time-wasters known to mankind.
It may take a massive exercise in will power, but shut the door and turn off your phone to maximize your time. Instead of being “always on,” plan a break in the day to catch up on email, call people back, talk with staff, etc.
6. Delegate more often.
If you’ve done a good job of hiring talented, dedicated employees, there’s always more work they can take off your desk. Running a successful small business depends upon the owner’s ability to think about what lies ahead and not get mired in day-to-day operations. Look for opportunities to pass responsibility for specific tasks to others on your team.
7. Watch what you spend
How many productive minutes are you packing in each week? Use this simple timesheet tracker to quickly and easily clock in and out of various tasks or projects throughout the day. Switch jobs or tasks with just one click using the TSheets mobile app, or track time directly from your desktop. Then generate robust, real-time reports to see exactly where you’re spending your most valuable asset — and where it’s being wasted.
8. Take care of yourself.
Be sure to get plenty of sleep and exercise. An alert mind is a high-functioning mind and one that’s less tolerant of time-wasting activities.

Good time management
What is the most valuable resource you have as you work towards your exams this year? Why, time of course! You only have so much of it and sometimes it feels like it just flies by. Come exam time, students often wonder where all of the time went. Then, at other times, it feels like the day will never end. The important thing to remember is that there are 24 hours in every day and that is the same for everyone. Because no student has more time than another, sometimes good time management can make all the difference in achieving great exam results. This is another skill which we are not taught as we grow up, but now it’s time for you to learn how to control your time – and how to spend it wisely. If you can achieve this, you will be able to make sure that the time you spend studying gives you the maximum amount of learning possible.
Although it may sometimes feel like a waste of time, you will actually gain huge time savings when you take a few minutes to plan out your day. Below are some of the many reasons why you may want to learn how to plan your everyday life and get organised in your studies:
It helps prioritise – good timetabling helps you take care of the important and urgent tasks first.
It helps with being realistic – we often don’t realise how long a task really takes. Timetabling shows you how long you spend on common tasks such as essay writing and problem solving.
It helps you procrastinate less – with a written list of tasks you are more likely to sit down and just get it done.
It helps you be more productive – you should know exactly what you will study before you sit down at your desk.
It helps give you more freedom – when you plan ahead, you know that you’ll be finished at a certain time. Students who don’t plan well often find themselves working all evening without realising it.
It helps reduce guilt – if you know that you’ve achieved your goals for the day then you can spend your free time without your studies on your mind.
It helps you track your progress – stick to your timetable and you know that you are on course to get everything done.
It helps you plan for the long-term – good organisation removes the uncertainty from your study and helps you focus on getting the best results possible.
Good planning is the key to getting the most from all of your activities. This discipline also helps create a good study-life balance and will benefit you in many areas of your life for years to come.
Be organised
The clear message so far is that good organisation is the key to being a successful student. You have to trust me when I tell you that an organised approach to your studies will mean that you will have to work less over the coming year. With better organisation you will be on top of things from day one and won’t have to cram come exam time. I know it sounds too easy, but it really is the secret to success.
I have found the best approach to be one which breaks your goals up into three different types: short, medium and long-term. A great way for students to describe these would be as daily, weekly and term goals. You can record these in your study planner, with daily goals being quite detailed and term goals being more general and giving you an overall understanding of your studies:
Your daily plan can hold a day by day account of yourassignments andareas of study. The best time to prepare your study plan is in the evening time, when you have finished studying and know what needs to be done the following day, so make a to-do list or list of short-term goals for the next day then.
Your weekly plan can be used to give you an overall plan for the week, a list of approaching tests and tasks to be achieved over the seven days.
Your term calendar gives you a broad view of your semester and helps you to plan ahead. Use this to mark all school assignments, tests, and activities (along with due dates) so that you don’t overlook them by mistake.
A realistic schedule:
Remember, when it comes to study, a realistic timetable is really important. A timetable which is too demanding will cause stress for you and work will pile up before you know it. So keep it simple and plan according to the time you have available – make sure you don’t overload yourself. You will become a better, more productive student as a result.
Take the following tips into consideration when putting together your timetable:
Do the groundwork! Spend time on planning and organising yourself.
Set SMART goals.
Prioritise your goals and allocation of time.
Use a to-do list every day. Prepare it the night before.
Be flexible – adapt your timetable if something unplanned comes up. Remember to reschedule the missed hours.
Consider at what time you are at your best. Then plan to study at this time when you will be most productive, for effective time management.
Start as you mean to finish – in control and successful.
Avoid being a perfectionist – if something does not work, start again, see what went wrong and approach it differently.
Don’t tackle big projects all at once, but break them into manageable chunks. This will make your life easier inApril when the projects are due.
Don’t forget to break up your study time and don’t study longer than an hour in one go, taking at least a five minute break between study periods.
Try to develop and stick to a regular study routine which helps prevent procrastination.
Don’t forget to reward yourself, giving you the motivation to make the extra effort.
How much should I study?
This is a question which every student asks at some point in their studies. It’s easy to be worried by classmates who claim to be up all night studying. You must remember that it’s not the amount of time spent studying, but rather the quality of the study that counts. It’s also important to note that there is no one answer for everyone. Some students study more effectively than others and will not need to spend as long studying. Each student will find some subjects more difficult than others and have to spend more time mastering those. As always, it’s best to focus on your own needs and abilities. Your goal should be to improve your study methods so that you maximise the results of your work.
Before looking at the amount of time you need to spend studying, remember the following points:
Some subjects consume more of your time than others. This is natural and it will depend on how much work you need to do in each one.
It’s easy to focus on the subjects we like most, so be careful not to neglect other subjects.
It can be difficult to keep on top of everything during the week, so the weekend can be a good time to catch up in some areas.
Every student is different, but below is a rough guide to how many hours you should spend every day on homework and study combined. Remember, it takes experimentation to find out what suits you. Your study times should most of all suit your academic needs and goals:
First year – 1.5 hours per day
Second year – 2 hrs per day
Third year – 2.5/3hrs per day
Fifth year – 3-4hrs per day
Sixth year – 3.5hrs-5hrs per day
This is just a rough guideline which should be adapted as your situation requires. Of course, the hours should be increased close to exam time to help you with extra revision or project work and each student will have different amounts of work to complete, depending on subject choices and how much preparation has been done so far.
Creating an effective study timetable:
Many of my past students believe that creating their own study timetable was one of the best steps they took to improve their exam results. They suddenly felt in control and on top of of their studies. They now had a proper structure to guide them every day. They said that they finally started to make the most of theirtime. Most of all, every student tells me that it helped give them a properstudy-life balance – something which is hard to achieve during the Leaving or Junior Cert.
Preparation is essential to achieving the most from your school day. I strongly advise you to spend the first half an hour of your evening noting and revising the main topics covered in your classes that day. This will not only help reinforce the key concepts from each class, but also highlight potential areas of weakness where you need extra study to understand things fully. Always start with a subject you dread or find difficult. Not only will you get it out of the way before you are too tired, but with this extra attention you’ll find that you understand the topic more each time and may even grow to like it.
Using a blank timetable, write out your daily class schedule and any extra-curricular activities you have.
Decide how long you will spend on study each day. Divide the total study hours by the number of subjects, and allocate equal time for each subject – while making sure to keep a few spare hours for subjects that may need extra attention.
Plan to study at least three subjects each day (to keep your study varied and stimulating).
Remember, Friday evening is a great time to complete homework for the weekend and leave Saturday and Sunday free for study purposes.
It is recommended that a Leaving Cert student should aim to study between four and eight hours at the weekend. This may seem like a lot but when you break it up into two or three hour slots, such as 9-12pm and 4 -6pm, it’s not so daunting.
Make sure you take the afternoon or evening off to reward yourself on one of the days, to socialise or relax.
You will need to include time on your weekly planner for:
a) Homework assignments
b) On-going working assignments
c) New material covered in each subject
d) General revision for exams or revision of material already covered.
To determine short-term goals or weekly needs, each Sunday use additional copies of the planner that you have created yourself to draw up a specific study plan for the coming week specifying exactly what you will work on in time slots of your term/month planner.
Discuss your timetable with your friends and family to let them know when you are free and when you aredue to study. They will understand that you must study and will make an effort to fit into your free slots. You really need to exert effort for doing the time mangement so that you can focus in every agenda your in or your priorities in life.
According to the Harison School
Tip #1: Make a schedule
You can improve your time management skills by making a schedule. Start your day by writing down a list of chores. You may want to use a planner or calendar to make sure you remember all your duties for the day. You can schedule out blocks of time for each chore. If you want to be reminded, schedule alerts on your smartphone so you can know when it’s time to start each new assignment or chore. If you plan on studying, you can schedule out one block of time or break your study sessions up into smaller periods. You may also want to use color-coded post-it notes so you can remind yourself of specific plans or tasks throughout the day.
Tip #2: Rid yourself of distractions
Distractions seem to be around every corner. Whether it’s your smartphone, the TV, or that new Beyonce song playing on the radio, it’s easy to get caught up in fun or relaxing activities when you should be studying. Worse of all, distractions can lead to procrastination. It’s hard to be strict with yourself when your attention is distracted with music videos. But you’ll only succeed at school, if you can focus on your studies.
Here is a list of ways to avoid distractions:
Write emails in the morning, check them at midday
Remove clutter from your study area
Finish short projects quickly
Turn off your smartphone
Disable your social media accounts during school or work hours
Tip #3: Complete important tasks first
While you plan out your schedule, make sure you list the most important tasks first. If you set out time to get them done then before other smaller tasks, you could reap the benefits of more relaxation time towards the end of the day. When you focus first on projects with close deadlines, then you can put more energy into finishing them sooner. If you need more time to understand a concept from your class notes, then make sure you schedule out more time to concentrate on that subject. Even if you need a break to complete shorter tasks in between study sessions, starting off with important school projects can help set you in a studious mood throughout the day.
Tip #4: Study during your spare time
If you commute to school, a good way to past the time is to take out your notebook and other coursework and study away. If you have spare time during your day, whip out your notes and take advantage of the free time. Carry your notes with you at all times, so that if you have any spare time you can use it to study or focus on schoolwork. It will feel great to stay productive. Plus, when you study in different places your mind starts to form associations with your course material which makes for improved memory. During your exam, you may thank yourself for putting your free time to good use.
Tip #5: Avoid the sofa and bed
Everyone enjoys sitting on the couch after a long day. If you’re going to be productive, avoid sitting on the couch or in bed while working. Stick to a steadfast rule where you can only sit on the couch or lie in bed after you’ve completed your tasks for the evening. Instead, try to sit in a chair at a desk or table while you study. You’ll stay alert and your concentration has a better chance of improving.
Take advantage of these time management tips and make the most out of your day! Scheduling time for your studies and daily tasks can help you become a more responsible and accomplished individual. You may even feel more secure knowing you’ve completed your most important tasks at the beginning of the day. If you follow these tips, you could even see the benefits of deeper relaxation during your free time. Perhaps, you’ll even have a more convenient scheudle or time to spend with loved ones.
