What is the best way to manage time and stray from procrastination?
I am asking this question because I am one who has poor time management. I also suffer from laziness and procrastination, thus causing me to perform mediocrely rather than brilliantly. This also makes me afraid of college due to the responsibility of self-discipline and time management. #stressed

Hi Jaquan,
I, unfortunately, have always been in the same boat as you, but I did start turning that around in college. Especially in today's instant gratification society, it can be difficult not to procrastinate. What worked for me was physically writing down a schedule week by week. I would write down my weekly school schedule, work schedule, events I had to attend, and any other commitments or obligations to determine my free time. In another column I would write down all that I needed to accomplish that week (homework, essays, club events, sports, etc.). You have to commit to setting time aside to accomplish the things you need to, and writing out a schedule certainly helps you do that.
Thanks!
Mike
