Trying to Manage Time▲

Monday, March 7th.
Time is limited, and that is to all of us. Normally,  we don't want to sit around for too long and waste time, but we don't want to have the opposite where we overwhelm ourselves so much that we don't have the time to relax.
I'm not a master of time, and as a college student that is what I try to work at. I know that I don't always have the motivation to be active when I have more free time or find free time when I'm overwhelmed. 

I'm constantly balancing school, work, YouTube, and all other things. And, I'm not the only one. This is the time when it feels like there isn't enough 'time'. It's not the feeling that it is going to fast, but the feeling that there isn't enough of it.
There really is only one way to manage time well, and that is to schedule. I schedule and try to give myself some time to do the tasks that need to be done. I don't try to over estimate how much I do, and I try to keep motivated to perform those tasks. 
I like writing things down with my planner and a pen to help me remember what I need to do. And, I really don't always get everything done because it does get difficult at times when you feel like you are over-working yourself. 

Another downside to scheduling is... prioritizing. I often feel like some tasks have the same priority and that makes it difficult to figure out what I want to do first, and of course with my own self-interest I do the easier task first. The second downside about prioritizing is that, there are times where you may make people feel as though they are not as important as your work and studies. I know that some people may understand, but even I will feel a little bad if I was turned down by someone who said that some other task is more important than being with me for at least 15mins. That doesn't mean that I will blame them, but I understand when others may feel like I'm "too busy" for them. The truth is that, I probably am at the time being. Trust me, If I can schedule a time to see a friend in my calendar then I will, and take opportunities when I see them. 

Sucks having so many responsibilities, right?
Well, the choice is always mine and I know it. It may not even get easier from here. Time managing is difficult when there is so much to do in such little time. But, it is something to become good at. And I'm working on it, I'm working on that balance of time.
