Time Management

For more online resources about Time Management check out TWU Campus Well

Set Boundaries. Now's the time to get good at them.

Set Boundaries

Communicate with yourself

Be honest with yourself about your time

Keep others in the loop

Learn the art of "no" - we know, it's hard, we get it!

Practice self-care

Spend quality time vs quantity time with others

Ask for help

Remember, less is more! You have a lot of roles, so if you notice you are dropping things, that's a notice that you're doing too much. Prioritize your time.

Prioritize

Find ways to stay organized and map out your time. One recommendation is the Urgent/Important matrix. Sounds tricky, but it's a good way to figure out and prioritize your tasks.

Urgent/Important = DO RIGHT AWAY
Not Urgent/Important = Important things coming up, schedule & plan these as much as possible! (Ex. test you have in 2 weeks)
Urgent/Not Important = Things that should be attended to, but maybe you you don't classify as "important". Try delegating some of these tasks if you can.
Not Urgent/Not Important = Things you want to be aware of, but they don't have to be done right now and are low priority.

Use this as your guide and tasks can move throughout the matrix.
