8. Setting goals -> then prioritize goals -> then work to
schedule the steps to reach those goals
Requires time and effort initially, but few realize that
this effort will later help prevent anxiety, reduce total
time on task, and prevents frustration in the future
If you are serious about time management, we
suggest you start with Personal Goal Setting and The
Golden Rules of Goal Setting. We also recommend
Treasure Mapping.

10. Important activities have an outcome that leads to the
achievement of your goals, whether these are professional
or personal.
Urgent activities demand immediate attention, and are
often associated with the achievement of someone else's
goals.
The Urgent/Important Matrix helps you look at your task
list, and quickly identify the activities you should focus on.
By prioritizing using the Matrix, you can deal with truly
urgent issues, at the same time that you keep on working
towards important goals.
Urgent/Important Matrix
11. There are two types:
1. When we avoid routine tasks
2. When we are discontent with life in general
Procrastination
12. I can’t seem to stop wasting time!
Is there “a cure” for
procrastination?
Habits are hard to break,
but you can change with
hard work!
13. Start slowly to reform your study habits:
Establish a REGULAR study time
Perform simple tasks
Try a different time of day
Studying & Procrastination
14. These are events or items that crop up expectantly
Utilize the Urgent/Important Matrix to prioritize what and who to
respond to immediately or later
Learn to say No when appropriate
Manage a log of interruptions to help you determine and analyze
how you can manage them more effectively
Take a few minutes to assess the importance and urgency of the
situation before responding
There will always be uncontrollable interruptions that we must
accept as a part of our lives – encourage and be assertive to
resolve the interruption
