I consistently find myself pressed for time, and I always leave things till the last minute so I am extremely stressed before an assignment is due or before an exam. Is there any good ways to develop better time management skills.
I have always been a list maker. If I just do everything on my list I get free time, and I find that when I make lists I have more time to do what I want.
Some people, like yourself, do very well making lists. Others get more bogged down making lists for a variety of reasons. We all have different ways of getting ourselves organized, but each person needs to do whatever works best for him or her.
It is a perfect list! I do some of the list but I still fail to do the others. I will keep on trying all of them.
Organization is the key to success for many role models and leaders. Especially # 6 to examine what you have been doing and make changes when you need to.

“When you catch yourself procrastinating-ask yourself, `What am I avoiding?’”
I believe that this is one of the most difficult things to do because we tend to close our eyes to what we do not want to see.

Here’s what I did on my time management get a piece of paper draw a line in the center then on the right side list the the important things that will help you achieve your goal(and will make you more productive) then on the left side list the less important things that you do in order tho achieve your goal. Then compare it and make a time table you will notice that the right side of the list is lesser than the left side.
I agree with you. A successful time management largely depends on how you are enjoying the work. It should be done accordingly. In order to do that, you have to be self organized.
