Time Management

I have been warned so many times before I came to college, and even when I came here for tennis preseason, that time management is so crucial.  And I knew that too, but knowing it and actually managing my time well are two different stories!  Life is crazy and things pile up without procrastinating and I feel like the homework is relentless.  Maybe not for just one single class, but you multiply it by four and you have hardly any time to do anything else.  With first-hand experience on just how hard it is to figure out a schedule for homework, I am just that much more motivated to find more time to finish homework so I can have a somewhat social life.  I realized I was "sucked" into Facebook and wasted more than just five minutes on that site, even though I had told myself just five minutes.  Yeah right, a likely story.  So I have taught myself not to go onto Facebook until my homework is done.  First of all, it won't interfere with homework time, and second of all, it's like an incentive for getting my homework done!  Tennis makes my weekends not so free since one full day is usually dedicated to tennis, and after the day I don't want to do anything but relax.  This happened last Saturday, and I felt even worse on Sunday when I still had that to do on my long to-do list.  This weekend will be a different story and I will get everything I can possibly finish done on Friday so that I won't worry when I play tennis on Saturday and then I can just have my study group on Sunday and hopefully it won't be as stressful.  This is my plan so far for time management.  I found my flaws and made goals to fix the problems.  Next week's results (like free time and amount of stress) will determine the effectiveness of my plan.
