One of the significant challenges, which concern me regarding possible disruptions in my capability to make it into graduation is the lack of the ability to have adequate time management. The problem of failing to manage time well developed as a result of my failing to plan and control the manner in which I spend hours in my day to achieve my goals and objectives. Apparently, I struggle with effective time management to have things done and sometimes, I sleep excessively. Deadlines for school projects, assignments, and exams make specific periods of the year to become quite stressful. Markedly, the factors in my life, which make this challenge stressful encompass over-scheduling, distractions from friends and family members, and spending much time on unimportant things.
Another challenge that I face is poor budgeting of my money and this developed following the need to come up with complicated financial decisions. As a student, I am supposed to figure out how to earn some money, pay for my school tuition, and still receive quality education. The factors in my personal life, which make such a challenge stressful encompass the fact that I profoundly depend on paying using credit cards, and permit people in my social setting to influence the way I spend my money.
The following are my psychological principles that I will abide by:
1. I will be planning ahead for each learning activity. Notably, this will help me to save time and stay prepared.
2. I will be strategically taking breaks.
3. I will stop multi-tasking – this will help me to complete each task efficiently.
4. I will maintain an organized and clean learning environment
5. I will ensure I eat a healthy diet to energize my brain
6. I will not allow any distractions in my life.
7. I will ensure my goals are kept in sight.
