A lot of people have trouble with managing their time.  There are a lot of different solutions to this very common issue and it all depends on who you are and what works best for you.  

One strategy to manage your time is to make a to-do list, for example, if you have an essay due on Friday, and a test on Sunday, put it on the top of your to-do list, then prioritize the essay due on Friday.  After you finish the essay then study for the test on Sunday, throughout all of Saturday.

Another strategy to manage your time is to avoid multitasking.  For example, you focus and get more done when just writing your essay then writing your essay and scrolling through TikTok.  Multitasking can be good for some activities that don’t require your full attention but for work, it is better to not multitask.  

The last strategy to manage your time is to cut off all of your distractions.  You can do this in multiple ways.  Silencing your phone is the most common distraction to most students when they have to get things done.  Another thing that helps with cutting off all of the distractions is working in a quiet workspace with no one to bother you so you can focus on what you’re doing.

In conclusion, some of the best strategies to manage your time are to cut off all distractions, avoid multitasking so your mind is focused on one thing, and make lists to help you remember what you have to do.
