The first step to effective time management is arranging your priorities. If you’re constantly getting little, unimportant tasks done and avoiding the more important responsibilities, chances are your life is a lot more hectic than it needs to be. Taking care of major projects before all else, even if you “still have time” to procrastinate, will be a huge relief in the long run. By the time the project due date is upon you, you’ll be watching all the people who DID procrastinate scramble to finish what you mastered weeks ago. However, although I’m sure everyone is aware that they should do the most important tasks first, the issue is that you’re not always sure which task is more important than another.

The author of this segment (that’s me!) is a Psychology major and Music minor. I am currently enrolled in 12 credits at the University of Central Missouri. Although this may not seem like much, my classes are far from my only responsibility. On top of struggling to maintain my straight A average, I am a leader of the official a Cappella group on campus, RainbowTones, and the music fraternity Sigma Alpha Iota (SAI). I also work 15 hours a week as a tutor at UCM’s friendly neighborhood writing center. As if that weren’t enough to do already, I also attempt to maintain a regular exercise regimen, socialize with friends, spend time with my boyfriend, and get at least 8 hours of sleep a night. If you don’t already know who I am… I’m not surprised. I’m probably just a blur on the sidewalk at this point. Hi, my name is Karyna Kakareka, and this is Time Management: the story of how I manage to *not* spontaneously combust on a regular basis. I will be posting tips on how to manage time effectively every other Wednesday for the foreseeable future (because apparently I just had too much free time on my hands as it was). I look forward to sharing my wisdom, and I hope that my suggestions help all of our lovely readers survive the school year.
