Time Management
My biggest time management challenge right now is juggling everything. Sometimes I get distracted from what I'm supposed to be doing and I wind up staying up WAY too late to finish assignments. Then I get grumpy and feel like sleeping, but I can't because there are too many things that have to be done. It's a vicious cycle. I think I'm getting better about it since athletes have hours of required study hall (8 hrs per week). But, on the other hand it cuts into my music practice time after getting through everything else in the day. I think things will be getting easier as classes go on and we establish a routine that is followed. Even though we don't have a test every week in every class the work load is still heavy; especially for us music students! Side note: music theory is kicking my butt! (Don't tell Dr. Berry) Everyone has told me that the first semester is the worst; hopefully it won't be my whole semester. With my planner in hand and a list for everything imaginable I'm going to tackle my procrastination and distraction and stay on top of things.

So it seems like you're coming to grips with your time management issues--realizing that you DO need sleep, and that you need a planner and such. All good things. Do make sure you're getting enough sleep (can't have you falling off of that horse!) and that you find a routine that works for you.
ReplyDeleteOh, and check out the times for the Theory Tutor, Audrey Rose. If you can't make any of her times, see if you can work out something else. You want to make sure that you can follow theory now, because each semester builds on the one before.
