- Set goals for yourself (daily, weekly and monthly).
- Learn to schedule your activities and budget time for each activity.
- Don’t over schedule yourself. Learn to say “NO!” when you need to.
- Learn to prioritize what is most important and do it Now! Don’t procrastinate!
- Be flexible with your schedule, unanticipated events are almost sure to occur.
