If your a busy person. How you will manage all your activities in life? Tell me some tips. I'm planning to take up Nursing board Exam next year but I'm going to train as EMT to a institution here in the Philippines. I really don't know what will I prioritize.

you have to think about you priority everyday and do the most important thing first. accomplish the most important thing in the morning and then settle for your other accounts in the afternoon later with the budgeted hours. i think it is very effective because that is what i am doing everyday

Well I use a calender to long range plan my activities. I also use a weekly/daily to do list to knock out immediate things. It is possible to do it all, but you have to plan and use your time wisely. Time is a very precious resource.

I think, knowing how to prioritize is really important in time management.
I always have my to-do list, then I'll prioritize them. It's clearer to have the list, so that you are clear what you need to do, what you have done and what you haven't do. Putting the list on paper instead of keeping them in your head will make you remember your tasks clearer.
Hope this helps you too.

Forgot to mention, if you have time for a book, perhaps you can read this "7 Habits Of Highly Effective People", written by Stephen R. Covey.

I think if we can apply these 7 habits, it helps us to be more effective.

Whenever I have great work load or whenever I feel that I may be running short of time, what I do is I list out all my pending works. Then I decide my priorities. Then I check how fast I can finish those priority works and then I decide which work is do be done first and so on. This requires some time to be spent on it but I have found this method to be quite useful because everything is on paper and everything is clear in my mind. I know how fast I am required to do a particular work. I may have to postpond some work sometime but at that time I am sure that I am not postponding my important work and I also know that that particular work is to be done later on so it does not escape from my mind.

Hi anikakim,
I think set priority is the most important thing, though I am not really good at it. I am a last minute girl always. But I think you need to have a to do list, set an aim - a far objecive, and an everyday to do list, follow the to do list and arrange your time. Do not keep yourself busy all the time, also arrange some time to take a rest. Happy mylotting~

Hi friends
Managing time is very essential in today's compeititive life.And one has to do effective time management.Each moment is very precious.Sort out all the things which have to be done on a paper.And proritize the things.
Preparing for the exams-prepare a time table and start off the topic which are difficult,so that one can spend more time on that subject.And one can easilty cover the easy subjecrs in less time.Preparing for compeititive exams-try to have as many
mock test ,which will make understand the question paper pattern.
Bye!!!!!!!!!
