@miltonbooks 15 Secrets Successful People Know About Time Management

CORAIMA MEDELLIN is a junior at the University of Pennsylvania who
graduated from Camden County College in 2014 as a member of Phi Theta
Kappa International Honor Society, the top honor society for community college
students. Her advice:
I try to stay out of my dorm room because I tend to lie on my bed, get on
Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. So I go to the quietest place on Penn's
campus, Fisher Fine Arts Library, and study there. The quiet helps, but I think
seeing others around me working on assignments motivates me to do the same.
Sure, I go on Facebook, but the amount of time I spend on it is significantly
reduced. I think it has to do with the fact that people pass by and I'm afraid of
being judged going to a library and doing something that I could do
somewhere else!
When it comes to reducing my social media usage, I try to restrict myself,
especially when I'm getting ready for an exam or writing a paper. I want to
stress the word 'try' because it's easier said than done. So, I bribe myself by
saying something along the lines of, 'If you read this entire chapter, you can
take a half-hour break and use Facebook during that time.'


Managing my time was something that I struggled with a lot when I first
started at Penn, so I visited the Weingarten Center on campus to get some help
with time management. It's been suggested that for every hour of class lecture
you attend, you should study for two to three hours. So when I spoke to a
counselor at Weingarten, I was given a weekly schedule that I put my work
schedule and my class schedule in and then wrote the times that I planned to
study for each class. I found that it works when I have an exam or a huge
paper coming up to keep me motivated and focused.
