Academic success is closely connected to successful use of time. We all have the same 24 hours available each day, but not all of us have developed the ATTITUDE about using that time to make it work effectively.

Here are 5 THINGS YOU CAN DO to enhance your academic success through better use of your time!

1. Make the decision to manage your time by managing yourself!
   This is your life! You control it, or it controls you. Choose your goals
   and make them happen. There is nothing mysterious here: It is
   your decision to study instead of watch TV. It is your decision to
   start writing papers early.
2. Pay attention to your time! Don't fritter it away.
3. Be aware of how you move through your life! Don't delay chores or
   assignments. Pay attention to what you can do now. Then, do it.
4. Make lists and carry a planner!
   Then use them! Staying organized will maximize your time
   effectiveness. Write it down: track yourself with lists, plan your
   time with the calendar, and don't get lost in the process of
   organizing things. Organization is the tool, not the goal.
5. Anticipate your life!
   Be realistic! Anticipate changing needs and demands, and be flexible
