Hey Lucia, Great question. Some tips below. Wishing you the best of luck and allot of success :)
1. Align your focus & set goals - Get clear on what it is you really want to achieve, and then set & right down goals with the actions you need to take to get there
2. Create a Schedule for when you are going to complete the actions (you can put them as calendar entries in your phone)
3. Determine priorities – Highlight the most important tasks & do them first
4. Learn to say no - One crucial element of learning how to improve time management is getting comfortable with saying “No” to things that don’t help you reach your goals
5. Minimize distractions – Put your phone away, turn off the TV, etc when doing your work/study
7. Take breaks – Very important to recharge and relax. It will make you more efficent

The key is to define priorities, start with the most urgent things and work your way through the rest.
Making to-do lists should help.

Using a planner to organize your time is very helpful. Whether it's a hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly planner you can organize what you have throughout the day, week, or month. In that planner you can write down any upcoming events, appointments, etc for the week or month. For any student, using an academic planner to write down the days they have class, any due dates for assignments, projects, tests coming up can help organize time. Another thing you can write down for the week is your daily routine in their given time frames, so you can have a visual idea of your free time.
to-do lists are also helpful when you organize it based on priority of the event or thing to do, such as most to least important.

It’s very simple. Know the tasks at hand that day and set aside time for each of them. Don’t spend too much time on one. Create a schedule, allow some break time for yourself. Adhere to that schedule. Remember do what is important first, and work down the lis. Yes make a list also.

first thing in the morning, make a list of thing that you need to do, and priorities the list, and, if certain things you can’t get to it for the day, reschedule it for the next day or during the week that you can get to.
