Time Management

2nd session which marked the beginning of the syllabus started with a very important lesson to the whole class, Time management.

"You cannot manage time, you manage your events in your life in relation to time" - (10 strategies for better time management- University of Georgia)

The activity done during this session helped everyone in finding out roughly how many hours they have left from each day so that a few of those hours could be used for something more important and productive, for example studying instead of over sleeping.

This lesson also taught us to manage time and categorize how important each activity is, which helps decide which activity should be given more priority and which activities should be cut off and instead do something else. Activities were divided in to four categories as Urgent/Important, Urgent/Not important, Not urgent/Important, Not urgent/Not important. The most useless time consuming work fall under Not urgent/ Not important section can be reduced and the time allocated for them can be used in a more productive way.

This lesson is important because "time management" is a lesson for life, not just another part of theory.
