<p>Not using the internet for porn? Not going to parties? Strong memorizational ability? High IQ?</p>
<p>it’s not a euphemism for anything, it just means using your time efficiently and scheduling stuff well so you get crap done in time and don’t cram or miss assignments while still having a life. </p>
<p>plenty of people look at porn and party and manage their time well. plenty of people with high IQ’s and memorization ability suck at time management.</p>
<p>Those of us here at CC on this forum are probably pretty good at “time management” already, otherwise we wouldn’t be the type to do all this research about colleges and such. Same with “study skills”. When I was in middle school I had to take a study skills class for 2 weeks (all 6th graders had to do it) and everything we learned just seemed so obvious to me, since I just picked up the skills along the way.</p>
<p>There are some people who just can’t figure out what order to tackle homework or assignments, or how to plan a project over many weeks. They don’t have good time management skills.</p>
<p>it means making the best use of your time. It’s ok to take time and go on your computer and play video games but if you’re doing that all the time and your schoolwork isn’t getting done, you don’t work or volunteer, then you can definitely manage your time “better”.</p>
<p>That’s just my definition.</p>
<p>it means not spending all your time on CC :D</p>
<p>Time management = not playing video games when you have work to do.</p>
<p>Time Managment essentially means getting your work done and not mucking about.</p>
<p>I’d say it’s a euphemism for self-discipline.</p>
<p>If you’re managing your time effectively, you’re getting all your work done – and doing whatever else you want to do with the time that’s left over.</p>
<p>If you’re not managing your time effectively, either you’re not getting your work done, or you are, but because you’re wasting a lot of time when you could be studying, or even wasting time while you’re studying because you’re also watching something on TV or texting with people or whatever, it will seem as if all you’re doing is studying. In the first case, you’re likely to not do well in class; in the second case you might do well in class or you might not, but you’ll probably burn out.</p>
<p>Do time managers study 30 hours a week as was the norm in the 50s, or 14 hours a week as is the norm today? That’s what I want to know. I figure that they don’t read very much if they want to earn strong GPAs.</p>
<p>time management is a euphemism for avoiding video games if you’re an introvert and resisting partying if you’re an extrovert.</p>
<p>A lot of times it means devoting one or two or three hours a day on school work throughout the week - even if nothing is urgent or imminent - to avoid procrastination and having a ton of work later.</p>
<p>I only learned to do this senior year - other three years I did the whole do nothing until the night before strategy and it sucked. I guess I lacked sufficient motivation/ self-control lol.</p>
