How To Study In College By Ross J. Q. Owens

Time Management is one of the hardest things for people like me to do in today’s world because of the fact that nowadays I am busier than ever. Responsibilities like going to work and going to school have become so intense that I do not have time for anything as much as I used to. Another negative effect that not having good time management has brought to me is the fact that I have been late to work and school quite a bit lately. That is why my goal for the next few weeks is to learn how to become better in time management.

The last set of objectives and techniques that I learned in “Encyclopedia in Management” are to set your goals, meet the deadlines that are assigned to you early, and to most importantly stay organized because all will help out in the long run.
