When it comes to time management and school, it now gives me the opportunity to prioritize a lot more. When we deal with work, and home it just becomes a repetitive routine, so I never really looked at is as anything other than just getting things done as the day/time flows. Since I have started school and working a lot more on my health and fitness, time management is crucial. I recently got a daily planner and a white board calendar to jot down important deadlines to help set my top priorities for the week. It also allows my partner to see my schedule for the week so that any adjustments can be made if needed. Things that I will work on consistently that’s mentioned is the non-negotiable such as sleep, class time, study time, and meals.
In order to keep consistent whenever I may fall back is reminding myself of my “why.” Why am I doing this and who am I doing it for. Some days will be easier than others, but I have to stay on track and remain focused. There is a greater reward waiting once school is finished and that feeling of accomplishment, hard work, determination, and sacrifice no one can take away.
