 Who's Got Time?

Do you miss sleeping in? Or spending the day reading a book by the pool, swimming with your friends, and going out for ice cream? Ahh, summer. Unfortunately, the lazy days of summer are over, and going from slow, relaxing days to the fast pace of your average school year may have you stressing out.

If you're having trouble juggling classes, extracurricular activities, time with your friends and family, and a job, you might need to brush up on your time management skills. Here are some tips:

  • Stay organized. Keeping everything written down can help you keep track of all your activities. A calendar, day planner, or the organizer feature on your cell phone can help you remember your biology test, soccer practice, and work schedule.

  • Prioritize. You can't do it all, so decide what matters to you most, and put those activities at the top of your to-do list.

  • Make time for fun. All work and no play is no fun at all. Make sure that you leave a little space in your daily activities to hang out with friends, eat dinner, and have time to yourself.

  • Keep your cool. If things are getting to be too much, don't be afraid to tell someone. You might need to drop an activity or cut back your work hours if your school work is suffering or you're feeling overwhelmed.

  • Let us help. Want to take a few tasks off your plate? Direct deposit, phone banking, PC Branch, or other convenient DCU services might be good time-saving tools. Learn more at dcu.org.
