    I always find that there is too much to do and not enough time to do it. Because time is so limited, learning how to manage time is crucial. The most basic way to start is by getting in the habit of making "To-Do" lists on a daily basis. This is a simple way to organize my plans for each day when I have multiple tasks to do. Of course keeping this habit would not be easy for me, because as it becomes part of my regular environment, most likely, I would simply forget to notice my list. A good way to remember my "To-Do" lists is to place it where it would easily be seen and grab my attention, like taping it to my car radio or keeping it in my wallet. I will also have to prioritize daily tasks in a way where I can use my biggest margin of time to do my most important tasks because taskes that are less critical do not requires as much energy or thought. This will allow me to insure that more important task get done. Using effective time management practices will help me to ensure quality use of my time as well as learning…

    Do not be a perfectionist or too detail oriented. The modern day technology is not perfect and it never will be. If you are like I used to be, these things can easily add stress. For example, I would try to accomplish certain tasks using my computer on the network that provided file and printer sharing, Internet access, and all the rest. It was not uncommon for one thing or another not to work correctly or not at all, but very often that would not interfere with the main task I was trying to completely. Subconsciously I would think: “By golly, this is supposed to work and I am going to make it work before I move on.” You can see the problem here and that a significant amount of time is wasted working on something that is not important at the moment.…
