Time Management

Dejah here

I could speak from personal experience as a student athlete it is very important to have good time management skills. Between my hours of training and hours at school, it is very crucial to be able to manage my time appropriately. Some of the ways I manage my time is the night before I plan out the next day and create a to do list starting with what I have to get done ASAP. When I’m working on a task I work without my phone and I time myself. I find that without my phone I have little to no distractions and when I time myself it’s easier to know when to take breaks. Another time managing skill that use is creating a routine, I am someone who loves and needs consistency in my life, and forming a daily routine does just that.
