Time managment (5a)

So far, college has been better for me than high school. I think because I’m paying for college, I have a better mindset to work. My time management skills have changed the most. So far, I have been able to stick to a schedule that I set up each week. Writing out my schedule has helped me in the first four week. Being able to see what I need to get done helps a lot. Having a schedule helps, but being able to understand the material is much more important. But it’s something I am having trouble with. My pre-Calc class is by far the most difficult class I have. I’ve shown up to every class, done almost all the work, and studied very hard. But I still can’t seem to understand the subject. Last week we had our first test. Immediately when I looked at it, I knew I was going to fail. The material that I had been studying for the past 4 weeks looked like a foreign language. But I tried to push through it, but in the end I got a 16 on it. So it’s been a rough start to my college math course. I think that I am going to have to study a lot more if I plan on passing the course. Its, hard to do when I see certain problems and just give up because I don’t understand. But it’s something I can improve on.

I think setting week long goals will be the key to success. Long term goals are good, but I think that long term goals are harder to accomplish because they can take a lot of time an effort. Short term goals would help me improve without a strong dedication. I can accomplish them within a week as long as I put in the hard work.
