Time Management

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Time Management ¡ The rice is everything else; the small stuff. If you put the rice into the jar first, there is no room for the rocks. The same goes for your life. ¡ If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. ¡ Pay attention to the things that are critical to your own happiness and success. ¡ Be prepared for your classes; show up for classes; take care of your health; exercise;

  • etc. There will always be time to play

video games, watch Netflix, chores, texting, errands and interruptions. ¡ Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities; the rest is just rice in a jar.
