Time Management - 4

Time management is key to success in anything you do, if you don't manage your time effectively you could begin to get bogged down on certain aspects like for example in an exam. For me when I manage my time I get a sense of being more productive and thus have a better approach to what I am doing. When I was studying for an exam, I would look at previous years and do them, the way I went about this was;

• I first spent 5 minutes reading the paper and selecting the questions I would do.
• Next I would begin the exam and then start with smaller marked questions just to get me focused.
• I would then start doing the bigger marked questions.

While I was doing the previous exam papers I would also time myself, this I thought helped me with time management because I would know just how long I should spend on each question.

For me time management was always a bit of an issue, but I found that the best way to tackle this problem is just to self-motivate yourself. I found a useful site that helped me with motivating myself was called Self-Motivation - Mind Tools. Once you begin to self-motivate yourself you will begin to "learn and grow, regardless of the specific situation" (Mind Tools)
