TOW: Time Management

Well, this week is all about time management. And I say that with a chuckle because I have very little time to manage these days, and most of the time I do have is getting wasted with sleeping. SLEEPING? WHAT'S SLEEPING?

I think one of the hardest things to remember when we are managing our time is that eventaually the task will end. Lately I've been getting a lot of what I like to call 'task panic'--where I see a task, and the amount of work required literally makes me feel green. I see the mountain in front of me, and unlike what Miley Cyrus says, it's not the climb. It's the potential landslide you can be involved in.

One of the best things to remember, and what I am learning in my project management class, is how to manage time efficiently and how to break down tasks and group work to not get swamped. And honestly, I am surprised at how lucky I am that I have such a great group of individuals to work with over this year. It's going to make my life a lot easier.

I think at the end of the day, I need to remember, that nothing is as bad as its seems, and that I'll find a way to manage, in some way. Eventually I'll see a way for me to manage my time effectively, and, eventually, it won't involve me cutting into more than two hours of my sleep schedule.
