"Managing Your Time "

Here are 10 time cheating tips from Hedrick's "365 Ways to Save Time":

1. Today, choose ONE job that needs doing and get moving on it.

2. Tonight, prepare everything you need to get going tomorrow (i.e., put out the clothes you're going to wear, and put your car keys, backpack, and wallet in one place ready to grab as you leave, etc.)

3. Set every clock in your house (and your watch) 15 minutes fast, and intentionally forget you did it.

4. If you don't like to forget what you have to do, write it down. Then forget about it, and concentrate on more important things than remembering.

5. Resolve today to put away everything you take out. Also, straighten up one little corner of your world before something grows in it.

6. Add some supplies for waiting time to your backpack (i.e., class notes, textbook, etc.)

7. Next time your professor gives you an assignment, ask "What's most important here?" (i.e., find out what his or her top priority is).

8. The next time you're asked to serve on a committee or to volunteer for something, instead of saying "yes" right away, say, "I need 24-hours to think it over."

9. The next time you meet a potential employer at a networking function, and they give you their business card, write on the back where you met this person, what was discussed, and follow up with a call or letter.
