After quite an extensive brain time out, it is time to talk about something extremely undesirable: about managing the time you have left, so that you make the most of it, and pass the exams the way you planned. By the end of this post you will realize that it is not just about organising, managing your time, it is about managing&organising yourself.
Basically, you can devide your 24 hours activities into four simple categories based on two variables: A is the thing you are doing with your time important for you and your future life B is the thing you are doing urgent or not. In this way we get a simple 2x2 matrix, four squares. For example if you are driving with a friend who just got a drivers licence, and he doesn't see a car comming from the right, it is most urgent and important for you to spend your time shouting at him not to drive off.
On the other hand sitting by your window and watching the neighbours go to work and come back again is mostly considered unimportant and not really urgent. And although that doesn't stop some people from doing it (sorry neighbour Maria), it just means our life goals can be very different.
The big Q here is in which of these "squares" is it best to insert your mental energies? Which things to do? It is not the urgent&important one, because you have to attend to these situations automatically or you will probably end up as a custumer for the undertaker. And both the unimportant squares can be logically ruled out, because doing things not in accordance with your Important leads you somewhere else.
So DO the important and not urgent things if you want the best for yourself ( said the granny). Besides it will also decrease the amounth of urgent have to solve situations, because you'll be working on a strange thing called prevention, which usually also decreases stress. So, after very pleasant holidays it is not only time to organise my time in a way that will allow me to study, but especially organise and manage myself in such a way that I will start to study. In the end it all comes down to motivation. Maybe the feeling that I am the master of my time and not the other way around will be a bit of a help in that.
Untill ORGANISATION&MANAGEMENT happens ( gets high enough on want to do list) it is time for another swim in the warm sea and perhaps a refreshing cocktail will be okay too.
