Time management involves how you use your time to accomplish multiple tasks efficiently. The task in question can vary from work at school or a job to how you use your free time.
Managing your time poorly can lead to not getting anything done in a large amount of time, whether it is because you did not plan ahead, bother to work on your tasks when you had enough time, or follow time management techniques.

Create a plan, schedule, set of goals, or list of tasks.

This method was highly recommended by Susan Hogg and Margaret Watson, two counselors at Jefferson Forest High School.

Exercise

Exercising can help keep your brain active as opposed to sleeping. Avoid taking short naps for breaks.

Stay Healthy

Get 7-8 hours of sleep every day, eat enough nutritious food, and avoid drinking caffeine, otherwise you may have trouble concentrating on your assignments.

Take Short Breaks

15-20 minute breaks between work can help ease stress and not fry your brain.

Think Positively

# data[].attributes.body
According to Mrs. Hogg and Mrs. Watson, the amount of time high school and college students should spend working on homework every night should be around 30-60 minutes per subject/credit hour. This means that students should be spending around 3-6 hours every night on homework if they have six classes.

Based on the poll:

20% (or 3/15) of students  spend less than an hour on homework

33.3% (or 5/15) of students spend 1-2 hours on homework

20% (3/15) of students spend 3-4 hours on homework.

26.70% (4/15) of students spend 5-6 hours on homework.

Why do High School and College Students Usually Have Trouble with Time Management?

# data[].attributes.body
Time management is usually a problem for both high school and college students, as they will have more work to complete and more activities and tasks using their time. These activities can include jobs, extracurricular activities, planning for college or the future, paying bills and budgeting money (if your living away from home to attend a college), etc.

In high school and college, students will need to adapt to having less time to complete all of their assignments and, therefore, having less free time. As a result students need to start relying on time management techniques to prioritize their time.

Based on the poll:

40% (6/15) of students have no job.

53.3% (8/15) of students have a part-time job.

6.7% (1/15) of students have a full-time job.

Time Management is used every day in our lives, whether it involves your work and job, your bills and budget, or even your vacation time. With time being so limited, it is important to use it in the best and most efficient way possible.
If you are unable to manage your time correctly, you will run into many problems, such as debt or failure to complete work for your job, and will feel like you have accomplished little in the future.
Using your time correctly can boost your confidence, add meaning to your life, and even leave more free time to do what you enjoy.

With high school or college being the main introduction of why time management is so important, mastering it when you finish high school or college could ensure that your future is successful.

Procrastination

Putting off projects or assignments for too long and not working on them while you have the time can cause your work to stack up, making time management more difficult to carry out and the work more stressful overall.

Hopelessness

With so much work, you could feel hopeless about getting all of it done in time, which can affect how well you perform on your assignments or whether you even complete them.

Schedule Conflicts

You may not have enough time to complete all of your assignments due to extracurricular activities, jobs, or other events using up your time.

Headaches and Cramps

Poor Health

You may not be getting enough sleep or eating enough food since you are concentrating more on your work rather than taking care of yourself.

Difficulty Concentrating

Your assignments could be the only thought in your mind which can distract you from concentrating on other important things.

Depression and Stress

It is important to note that not all stress is bad or unhealthy.

Poor Performance in Class and on Assignments.

This can be cause by all of the reasons listed above.

Having a presentation that talks about time management at the beginning of each year can encourage students to use time management techniques in the present and the future. The presentation could discuss various time management techniques, how they can help you in the future, and why it is important along with examples of great and poor time management.

Remember to plan ahead and work when you have plenty of time so you do not need to finish something at the last minute. Be sure to stay positive, take short breaks once in a while, and take care of yourself. Following this advice closely can make you more confident in yourself and ensure that your future is bright.
It is important to teach time management to high school and college students while the chance is still there. Time management will only become more prominent beyond school and will support you when you have more important and difficult tasks you need to complete in the future.
