Book Cover & Preview Text
Investing in Your Time One of your most important resources is your time. Like money, your time is finite and precious—and you should take care to spend it wisely. For example, if you have three hours available to do a homework assignment and you can actually complete it in one hour, don’t drag it out. Get it done promptly, and then use the remaining two hours to read ahead in your textbooks, put extra effort into studying a subject that you find difficult, or do something else that will help you perform better in school. In addition, try to match your work with your unique needs. For example, if you’re a night person, then schedule your studying for the evening. If you’re a morning person, then consider getting up extra early to do your reading. The more you’re feeling at your best, the more likely you are to pay close attention to, fully understand, and remember what’s in your textbooks. As you’ll see in later chapters, organizing and managing your time takes effort. But it’s well worth doing. Investing in your time is almost certain to improve your academic performance. And it's also a valuable habit to develop for your future, as it will help you in whatever career you end up choosing.
