perseverance & endurance
for people who don't fancy time management, try below:
1. Use an activity log
Example:
Time Activity Minutes used Priority
Write down what time you do exactly what for how long....
to the very very detail like going toilet or going to cafeteria or even when you are thinking about your boyfriend or girlfriend (ops, haha)...
then prioritise each activity to:
A priorities involve your critical goal. Task with high value and primary concern. for me it's do homework, study, do past year question, revision - everything relating to JUNE 2008 EXAM.
B priorities - enabling goals - activities indirectly support your critical goals. There are tasks with medium value and high degree of urgency. mine can be bath, changing, eating, going toilet, reading magazine, watching tv(which should be C priorities but B for me), meet up with friends, chit chat, basketball, taekwando, jujitsu, online, blogging..etc etc
C priorities - little value. personally, it's daydreaming, journey from home to college in car, reading people's blog, playing utopia(ops, i think utopia should be A priority), washing dishes(like i have a choice), tidying drawer, blog hopping...
2. Analyse activity log.
my personal professional opinion : you will realise that you spend a lot of time on B & C priorities. we should spend very little of C-priority and try to minimise B-priority. by doing this, we realise that 'hey, we actually have a lot of time'.
then again, we shouldn't spend too much time on A-priority unless exam is coming.
3. Change activities.
this will be hard but it's worth to try...(though i haven try yet. when i do,if i do, then i will post the result.)
after trying the activity log of your daily life, how was it? spending your time efficiently?

Symptoms of poor time management

If procrastination is a problem for you, think about the pride you feel on accomplishing a task satisfactorily. Giving yourself credit for your accomplishing can provide 'energy' for attempting other goals.
People procrastinate for a number of reasons. such as:
-they have an unrealistic view of successful people
-they do not recognize the great amount of planning, organising,and hard work required to make success seem 'easy
-they have poor coping skills or low tolerance for disappointment
so, they give up or do nothing.
Because many procrastinators lack assertiveness skills, they are uncomfortable addressing a difficult situation, hoping perhaps that the problems will go away. Lack of assertiveness can create additional delays or procrastination if people are reluctant to ask other for resources or help necessary to perform a task.
Dividing a large task into several smaller ones may be the answer. Do not try to do everything at once. The best way to attack giant projects is to start with small steps and remember that the key to achievement is to think big but act NOW. A small success can motivate you to move on to the next step. Small, steady steps are the key.
the support of someone who believes in you, such as friends, relative, or coworker. Developing supportive relationship takes effective human relations skills.
