Hey there!! I know it's been a while since I last posted anything but today I want to talk about setting goals in life, at work, for school, etc. I just have so many people asking me how I handle or juggle all of the things that I do and so I want to share with you what I do to do so.
My life used to be a little more hectic than it is now but even then I was able to manage my time and get things done. Unfortunately in high school and the beginning of college I never used these techniques lol...
1. Keep a calendar handy at all times!! It can be the calendar on your phone or a small planner in your purse or backpack for school. I personally have 3 different calenders that all sync up together. I have my calendar on my laptop (I use google because it syncs with my phone), a calendar on my phone for quick appointment setting and reminders, and then I keep a planner in my backpack for homework assignments and project deadlines. At the end of everyday I make sure that all 3 of my calendars match with the same events, meetings, and assignments...and remember to FREQUENTLY CHECK YOUR CALENDAR!!
2. Plan & Prioritize!! Always make sure you sit down and plan out what needs to be done first and DO IT! If you have work or school deadlines make sure you take steps to accomplish the project. With interviews and meetings get all information necessary at least a week before so you can answer any question and be on point!
3. Set alarms and reminders!! It's great if you're taking steps to add things to your calendar but sometimes we forget to even look at it afterwards. To help you stay on top of things, set an alarm to remind you about your upcoming events. The calendar on a cell phone is perfect for this very reason. I set the first alarm for the day prior to the appointment or event, when that goes off I reset it for about an hour prior to when I need to leave or turn something in, and then I set it to about 10-15 minutes before I need to leave to let me know that I better be getting my things together and headed out of the door.
I hope you found these things helpful!!
