These are three things that I can change to use time better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first way is by using a calendar. Using a calendar helps me plan out my time for a week or so in advance. You could use a paper one, or an electronic one, but I really like Google Calendar. It lets me make events that repeat every week, and I can create different calendars for different parts of my life, which is very useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another good habit is spending less time on unnecessary tasks before or while you are getting work done. If you practice this often, it can become a good habit. If I am playing games or doing other unimportant things, this will take time away from when I could be doing something much more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, a good idea would be to set aside time each day or week for rest and recreation. For me, this would be around 5-6 o\u2019clock. At that time I will take a break, from school and from work. That way, I won&#8217;t be tempted to waste time while I should be doing schoolwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these things will help me to use my time better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many ways to use time, but only some are worthwhile.
