MISSION OF TIME MANAGEMENT MODULE

TM Module helps GMIT students to manage


- time
- objectives,
- knowledge, and
- reading
so that they may lead an effective and meaningful life.
INTRODUCTION

 Too little time and too much to do is a common condition


for many of us. Everyday demands or chores seem to
engulf the day, leaving little time to pursue those things
you enjoy.
 But you do have choices about how you spend your time.
Balancing what you need to do with what you want to do
can lead to happiness and success.
 Many of us complain, “There just isn’t enough time in the
day!” But the truth is that we have enough time to do what
is important in our lives.
 You can always make time for the people you value and for
the activities worth doing. All you need to do is become a
master of how you use your time.
INTRODUCTION

 Turning time-management skills into habits will take time –


but what better way to spend it?
 From this module you can learn valuable techniques, you’ll
know yourself better, have a map of goals for the future,
and maybe fulfill your dreams.
INTRODUCTION

If you make lists of ‘what I need to do’ and ‘what I want to do’
you will notice several relationships between those two.
It can be:
(a) No relationship
(b) Somewhat related
(c) Fully related or overlapped.

Can you give some examples of each relationship?

NEED TO MANAGE YOUR TIME

“Making the most of college students speak their minds”


Question to Seniors:
Richard J. Light
“What advice do you offer to freshmen?”
1) Time management
2) Get acquainted with professors
3) Take diverse classes
4) Take the classes with lots of homework
and tests
5) Study in group
6) Take heed to writing
7) Learn foreign languages
Survey of 1,600 Seniors of

Harvard University for 16 years. 9) Speak up when you have problems.
NEED TO MANAGE YOUR TIME
An interview with a Senior

“Things that worked for me in high school, I discovered, don’t work for
me in college. I really was unprepared for the amount of material that is
presented here and the speed at which it is presented. It was a bit of a
shock. Things I picked up quickly in high school I couldn’t pick up so
easily anymore.
Here at college I wasn’t being checked every day. I did not get off to a
great start because I had never really learned to study this enormous
amount of material in a systematic way. I tended to do one subject for a
big span of time and then neglect it for a week. Then I moved on to
another subject and forgot about that for a week so there was no
continuity within each course. That had a lot to do with it. Finally I
figured it out. This year, I’m pushing myself to spend a little bit of time
every day on each subject.“
NEED TO MANAGE YOUR TIME
Why is it that some undergraduates make the transition from high school
to college smoothly, while others have much more trouble?

One group had had an outstanding first year in all ways, both academic
and social, while the other group struggled. Interviewers hoped to find a
few important differences between the two groups of sophomores.

They quickly discovered that one difference, indeed a single word, was a
key factor. Sophomores who had experienced difficulty hardly ever
mentioned the word, even when prompted. The critical word is time.
Sophomores who had a great first year typically talked about realizing,
when they got to college, that they had to think about how to spend
their time. They mentioned time management, and time allocation,
and time as a scarce resource. In contrast, sophomores who struggled
during their first year rarely referred to time in any way.
NEED TO MANAGE YOUR TIME
Richard J. Light

“Several advisors have told me that some first year students find it a real
challenge to allocate their time so they are both happy personally and
effective in their academic work. Students who learn to manage their time
well are often those who work hard on this topic when they first arrive.
It isn’t easy for every student. It requires systematic effort. But the heavy
demands of most college courses, compared with what students faced in
high school, reinforce the value of making such an effort. It certainly beats the
alternative of feeling overwhelmed when suddenly facing the amount of
reading assigned in college courses.
When seniors are asked what advice they would offer new arrivals, this idea
of learning to manage time is a common response. I think it is a wise one.

The distinction in attitudes toward managing time translates into a distinction


between new students who prosper and those who struggle.”
TIME MANAGEMENT

Lothar J. Seiwert

”Time management is about


(a) the consistent and goal-oriented application in practice of
proven work techniques
(b) in such a way that managing oneself and one's environment
becomes effortless
(c) while the time at one's disposal is used up in the most
meaningful way possible.”
TIME MANAGEMENT

Dorothy Cudaback

”Good time management simply means


(a) deciding what you want to get out of life and
(b) efficiently pursuing these goals.

Time management does not mean being busy all the time-it
means using your time the way you want to use it- which can
include large doses of day dreaming and doing nothing.

Good time management brings with it increased relaxation, less


stress, more satisfaction, and greater accomplishment.”
TIME IS …
“There is no value equal to the value of time.
We have enough time, provided we use it properly.” J. W. von Goethe

• Time cannot be changed.


• Time cannot be stored.
• Time cannot be extended.
• Time cannot be given to other people.
• Time cannot be stopped, it can only be spent.
• The absolutely same amount of time is given to
everyone everyday.
TIME IS …

• Time is not merely money.


• Time is far more valuable than money.
• Time is equal to life. If you are wasting your time, you
are ruining nothing but your life.

Successful people have one characteristic in common — the


ability to manage their time consciously and systematically.

spend on something, there’s no way
to manage time. “

frequently you practice each behavior.
2. Read each statement a second time and assess its value to you. In the third
column (How important?), indicate how important each practice to you.
3. Multiply the second column by the third column and enter the results in the
fourth column (Rating)
