Still think you don't need time management skills? Here are some of the effects of poor time management.
People who have poor time management skills will often fail to meet deadlines, and not complete tasks. Students with this problem might receive poor grades as a result of not finishing or not turning in assigned work. Multiple assignments and long-term projects can cause students to feel overwhelmed and anxious if they do not have a plan in place for completing the assigned tasks. As assignments build up, and due dates get closer, you may begin to feel stressed if you did not manage your time well, and as a result now have too many tasks and not enough time to complete them. When receiving a long-term project with a due date that seems far away, it can be easy to feel as if you have all the time in the world, and procrastinate as a result. This is why many students leave assignments to complete the night before they are due. DO NOT DO THIS! Procrastinating is probably one of the most common mistakes made by students when tasked with managing their time, but can easily be avoided by formulating a plan for long-term assignments early on. These type of projects often involve multiple pieces, and require a great deal of planning, which is why you are given a lengthy amount of time to complete them. They are not intended to be completed in one night, and trying to do so will most likely result in stress and frustration. All of these problems can be avoided by taking the time to prioritize and make a plan to use your time effectively and efficiently.
