2.3
How to improve time management
The key to time management is

optimal results. Whatever your reluctance because it seemed boring, but
compiled a long list of these activities-was to be done, set aside some time to
think which of the list should be chosen in advance to be implemented tomorrow,
after tomorrow, next week or next month, is the most critical moment for you to
control the timing of 'life' of your own.
Here are the steps to help you arrange or organize
time management :
a)
Keep a calender or agenda or
specific records, either manually or electronically.
b)
Write all the date, day, time
related to your academic activities. For example, the date of the middle and
end of term exams, the final date for submitting classroom assignments, the
last date the limit tuition, academic guardianship date with faculty trustee,
the date of registration of the plan of study.

competition schedule, schedule to return to the old people's home in the area,
or to visit relatives.
d)
Arrange the priority actions
contained in the list of b and c above, ranging from the most important to the
least principal, resulting in a regular weekly schedule. For example, you can
set up a schedule by dividing the range of your activities into four (4) groups
:
1)
academic activity that has been
'fixed' (top priority):
Ø
Schedule classroom lectures
Ø
Schedule practicum
Ø
Schedule to library
Ø
Schedule mandatory tutorial
Ø
Schedule independent learning
(outside the classroom) daily
2)
social or personal activities that
have been 'fixed' (as well as the highest priority) :
Ø
regular schedule eating, taking
medication
Ø
Bedtime
Ø
When exercising
Ø
worship schedule, trip 'homecoming'
Ø
Caring for pets
3)
supporting academic activity (as a
priority but the most important ranking below) :
Ø
Schedule group discussions to create
a class assignment
Ø

is not required by the faculty)
4)
social or personal activities
support (important but not the main priority) :
Ø
Schedule a visit to relatives and
friends
Ø

clothes, cleaning the room
Ø
Watch music concerts, theater,
sporting competitions
Ø
Schedule to the museum, youth
meeting in your neighborhood

routine that consists of a balanced combination of components / groups above.
At this point you learn jarus wise to be cautious but earnest choose which is
the first priority, second, and so on. Remember, however, that you are
undergoing higher education that is feasible and reasonable if you put the
number 1 in the above activity in the highest places. This is where the
importance of balance, meaning that you have to learn to draw up a balanced
schedule contents of the four groups listed above. Keep in mind that the
purpose of the weekly schedule is not that all the activities had been
completed, but rather on ensuring that things need to be done in the end it is
true you do.
f)
Make sure that you adhere to the
schedule of your weekly routine stacking. For example, present in the classroom
at all lectures, doing assignments and independent study that has been
scheduled, avoid procrastination work (procrastination).
2.4
Guidelines compile time
Here are
some things that need to be considered by you as a guide to develop good time
management (in addition to the five steps in section 3 above) :
a.
ends meet while sleeping between 6-8
hours / day
b.
Strive to schedule your activities
take place between the hours of 6:00 to 22:00 pm
c.
Each week you schedule contains four
groups of activity in number 3 above description
d.
Schedule time self-learning that you
at least 20 hours / week (outside the lecture time in class)
e.
Plan a maximum of 10 hours of self
study / per day
f.
Develop a plan of self-study for
each subject or topic of a maximum of 5 hours / day
g.
Hose alternately self-learning
topics regularly if you for example decide that from 07.00 to 13:00 is the time
to learn independently (that you do not spend 6 hours just to learn one topic)
h.
. Know yourself whether as a
'morning person', 'night owl person', or 'late afternoon person' to ensure that
the schedule in accordance with the rhythm of work and the 'biological clock'
you
i.
Take time for a short break amid the
learning time (example, no more 10-minute break every hour)
j.
Train and familiarize yourself to do
something just once, alias avoid the habit of repeating. For example, reading a
text about a topic as much as possible just 1 time but to make sure you
understand and remember what was in it. Avoid the myth that to be able to
understand the contents of a reading, you should read it 2-3 times
k.
Learning to focus or concentration,
without pause for a minimum of 15-20 minutes; then increased to focus for 30-50
minutes without pause. It is necessary at all, especially to help you listen to
the lecturer explained in class, taking notes, reading, and writing. Remember,
reading and academic writing takes longer than the usual you write, read
magazines, comics, or let alone write an email, electronic messaging, twitter,
or the like
l.
Sometimes it is necessary to draw up
a weekly schedule in which the first day of which net of academic assignments
m.
Get used to do the little things and
the 'trivial or mild' on the sidelines of a break or when you're waiting for
something. For example, respond to electronic messages can be done only when
you break or when you are waiting to see a doctor, lecturer, in line at the
counter, or while it is in the public transportation (but, watch out with your
cell phone because doing it in public transportation also invite potential bad
guy to disturb you).
n.
Learning and familiarize themselves
to dare refuse an invitation or to say 'no' to friends, relatives when they
invite or encourage conduct of certain activities that may disrupt your time
management. Similarly to refuse to leave the house for the day of the exam; or
an invitation to make some commitments simultaneously
o.
Ask friends, and relatives to
respect your time management as well and make them understand that they can not
at any time interfere with you or ask communicate with you at all times as they
wish when you're learning
p.
Isolate yourself in order to be able
to concentrate or focus on learning (read or write), with for example: close
the door, turn off the audio-visual devices, turn off the cell phone, stop
responding to email or electronic message, twitter, facebook or the like
q.
Be realistic and flexible enough, do
not be rigid. Develop a very tight schedule and forced to obey rigidly can
actually make you eventually become saturated, and the loss of passion
(passionate) learned that it becomes counter-productive. Note also that your
speed in learning and managing learning time management can change along with
the increase of the semester. For example, in the 1-2 first half on the bench
college you may feel very difficult to draw up management time and heavy
demands you must meet; but in semester 3 and so you may feel a little more
loose, dynamic, and more flexible. This happens because you have become
accustomed, to know better the environment, recognizing the habit themselves,
and also you get older.
2.5
How to avoid becoming procrastinator
Procrastinator
are very like to postpone the work until the day or minute ahead of the end of
the deadline. Delaying action until the job ahead of dead-line is called
procrastination. If this is allowed to take place continuously obviously would
be a bad study habits. In fact, this practice will continue to be entrenched in
the time you've been working as a professional or professional carrier which
consequently is your performance will not be optimal, severe stress, have a
negative impact on physical health until failure. Therefore, you get used to
not be a procrastinator. How to? Some of these instructions may be able to do :
a.
Get used to study or work based on
the agenda because in this way you will realize how much activity a day are
able to do according to ability and eventually you will know that the delay
learning / work in the end will not help you at all.
b.
If you start working on a big task
immediately when you feel ready or are under pressure to be finished because
tomorrow is the deadline for completion, then it is possible you will be
successful, but remember not always be successful.
c.
. So start with small things from
the beginning. Try to parse or describe a large task into several stages or
small parts that allow you to get right to work as early as possible. With a
huge task it part by part from the beginning will make you aware of how much
the real task and requires how much time to complete
d.
Work without inviting the
possibility of interference, example turn off the music player, video, mobile
telephone, internet connection and the like which clearly can disrupt your
concentration. If you people who depend on music to help your concentration,
then do the opposite ie rotate your audio device.
e.
To reduce boredom, you learn the
topic a little modification on that day, for example with interspersed read the
newspaper, read comics, graffiti graffiti drawing an object, planting, feeding
the fish in kolan / aquarium or play with your pet such as a dog or cat, etc. .
The important thing is to remember that not to fall asleep doing these things
that I forget the main topic of the day!
