Time Management

8 of 10

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time –classes, homework and activities –with some family help. College gives you and even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mail while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produce while planning next week’s menu.

Someone said “Wherever you are, be there.”

Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment at hand. You can’t go back and recapture this moment, so make most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.
