Student Time Management

Tip #6  Practice Selective Procrastination

     There’s an old saying “It’s not enough to be busy, what are you busy about?”

     Many wildly busy college students I meet from across the country tell me that they feel as though their schedules are booked 24/7.  To see them rushing from class to class, I don’t doubt it.

But here’s the tough question:  Does everything on your ‘to do’ list really need to be done?  Are you doing stuff out of habit?  Because you don’t know how to say no? Because you’re not really sure what you REALLY should be doing, so you’re going to do a bit of everything and hope SOMETHING is the right thing?

Well, my friend, you know if you’ve read my books just for college students how I feel about wasting any kind of time when you’re at college.

You should have a clear idea of what you want to get out of college, go for it with a clear focus, and leave yourself some downtime to relax and enjoy the ride.

So next time you feel like you’re running around like a crazy person, stop in that moment and ask yourself, what can I NOT do today so that I can do the things I really need to do much better?

And then, procrastinate on those activities that didn’t make it to your short list.

Trust me, even if you don’t finish every teeny tiny thing on your humongous to do list, the world will still be revolving on its axis tomorrow.  And if it isn’t, you can blame me.
