EFFECTIVE TIME MANGEMENT  Buy a calendar with large squares for writing extensive notes about your daily obligations, including your job and class schedules.  Read class syllabi thoroughly at the start of the term and write down or highlight when all assignments are due. Determine which courses require a large amount of reading.

11. EFFECTIVE TIME MANGEMENT  Make a list of any research projects or problem-solving assignments you'll be doing and map out a study schedule on your calendar. Write down all extracurricular activities you will be attending. Take into account long weekends and vacations and mark them on your calendar.

17. Ineffective pursuit of goals One reason for ineffective pursuit of goals is that people fail to select goals that are personally meaningful. Rather than set autonomous goals that reflect their interests and personal values, people often adopt goals for external reasons, such as social pressure or their own beliefs about what they should do (Sheldon & Kasser, 1998).

18. Why Is Goal-Setting Important? You have set a high standard for yourself to achieving goals and we realized that that getting what you want doesn't always come easy. Thus, in order to achieve or reach your goals, more often than not, you've got to work hard to get the results you desire. This requires commitment, dedication, perseverance, and the know-how to manage your time to the best of your ability.
