Time & Priority Management (:

It is good to know that I learn more and more tips and advices on the different areas of my life from every LMS tutorial session. This week's special because it's a E-learning week and we've to do this topic of time & priority management based on notes given in the MEL website. This is a very important topic to everyone, because everyone is packed with their own stuffs and different activities. Sometimes it gets so busy that we can't bother to plan our time and just take a step at a time. Well, at least, that is what I always do. Haha, there are really so many things to do, so many assignments, so many due dates, CCA and so on. Just a long list which seems to never end especially when a new week starts again.

However, planning out time definitely will help alot especially on academic areas/workplace. By making plans and prioritising, you can weigh the importance of the various different assignments or activities. For example, if there are homeworks due this week, try to finish them up at the start of the week. It is beneficial as you don't have to find yourself doing last-minute work and rushing through the night and burning mid-night oils. Time never waits, it just keeps going, and it really depends on how you manage it. By being more organized in your work, it helps to enable you to finish it by the due date; and only to realise, actually there're still alot of personal time you've left! Of course, planning out time doesn't mean that you have to spend whole day just studying, do take time out to relax your mind and do things that you like such as playing games. It is important not to get over-stressed up unnecessarily because with time management, things will be more organized.

Prioritising is also very important in time management. By weighing the difference in importance and urgency in the different assignments or activities, you are able to identify the work that needs to be rushed first. It will not kill to sacriface some personal time to finish up all the work first, because after the work is done, there is more than enough time to play and enjoy. By having a sense of urgency towards closing dateline shows that you are taking note of academic matters and not giving a "never-care-much" attitude. Remember, homeworks just keep coming, assignments keep flying towards you; but if you don't do it, the one that loses out is not the tutor or the lecturor, it is you (:
