Time Management and Procrastination
Ask any group of students what their biggest academic challenge is, and it’s likely the great majority will answer “time management”. For most students, the challenge is not only to get work done, and to get it done on time, but to get it done well. And, of course, most students would also like to get their work done in enough time to have a social life as well.
At the AEC, we know that time management isn’t just about filling out a schedule and sticking to it, and it isn’t just about procrastination. It’s about understanding the work that is required, knowing how to go about it in a way that is both efficient and productive, and feeling good about it. We also know that because each student is different, and each course is different, all students must manage their time differently.
If you’re having trouble with time management or procrastination, there are two ways we can help. Students can set up an appointment with one of our learning specialists by calling 874-2367, or stopping by the AEC. Professors or groups that are interested in hosting a workshop can contact AEC director David Hayes at davidhayes@mail.uri.edu.
