Time Management

Time Management  8 of 10

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time classes,homework and activities with some family help. College gives you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that's a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones,respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation,or order tomorrow's produce while planning next week's menu. Someone said,"Wherever you  are,be there." Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don't let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment at hand. You can't go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cites sources carefully in a research paper, you're paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database,keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or writes e-mails. John Wooden,UCLA's former great basketball coach who lead his teams to ten consecutive national championships,was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things,he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. They didn't tie them correctly,he would teach them how. Details may be small,but from small things come great things;therefore,pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

Problem-Solving Skills 4 of 10

Problem solving goes far beyond your math textbook. Every assignment is an opportunity to weigh all possible solutions carefully and choose the one you think is best. As a working professional,you'll be solving problems regularly, whether it's fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls.

When problems or challenges occur, some people look at them at negative experiences as a crisis.These people are the ones who live day by day with gloom and negativism in their attitudes. But the really successful people, those who are cheerful and optimistic, are those who look at problems as opportunities opportunities to learn,grow,expand their horizons,and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

Read the Directions.

It's important that you follow the instructions

exactly. For example,some questions may have

more than one correct answer.

Doing this can jog your memory about useful facts.

You may also come across information that can help

you with other questions.

Answer every question.

Unless there is a penalty for wrong answers,try to

answer every question;you may be able to get

partial credit for those you begin but don't complete

correctly.

Ask questions.

If a question isn't clear,talk to your teacher. If that's

not possible,explain your answer in the margin.
