How To Manage Your Time Effectively 

Icon Zainab 

What do we understand by Time Management?

It is the planning and exercising of intentional control over the amount of time spent on particular tasks, especially to boost effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity. It entails striking a balance between the many demands on a person's time—related to a job, relationships, hobbies, personal interests, and commitments—and the limited amount of time available. 

Having effective time management allows us to spend time or manage activities at our own pace and convenience.

Here are a few tips on how to have effective time management

Work out your goals. Knowing your goals will help you plan and help achieve your dreams 

Make a reasonable list. To-do lists help a lot. Keeping a list will help you work out your priorities and timings. It can help you put off the non-urgent tasks."

Prioritize important tasks: 
📌 Urgent and important
📌 Not urgent but important 
📌 Urgent but not important                     
📌 Neither urgent nor important

People who manage their time well concentrate on "not urgent but important" activities. The aim is to learn how to become better at reducing the number of urgent and important tasks

Be decisive. Be Intentional. Once you have made up your mind about which tasks are to be completed, stop deliberating! Second-guessing is just another name for procrastination.

Stay focused

Know your weakness/stress. It’s not the lack of knowing what to do to cut down stress; it is doing what you know you have to do.

Stress may lead you to waste time worrying about how you go about a project, and will even lower your productivity. 

Take a break.

By  Adetunji Oluwafemi The Great Ife Students’ Union on Monday, 3rd November 2024, held its planned inter-faculty debate for freshmen. The debate is part of the events that have been prepared for Fresher’s Week 2024. The event experienced a slight delay, as the venue was moved from the 1000-seater to Oduduwa Hall by the order of the school management, which requested that the initial venue be vacated because the office of the Vice President, responsible for the event, failed to seek permission before using it. The event began at 12:35 PM.

MOREMI HALL: A Tale of Night Stories: When Will It End? In the quiet corridors of Moremi Hall, a disturbing series of events has shaken the residents, raising questions about security and the unknown intentions of an elusive intruder.   It all started two weeks ago when the inhabitants of Moremi Hall were awoken to the cry of a lady, "Ole! Ole! (the Yoruba name for thief). At exactly 5:00 am, a guy who was wearing a mask was seen darting across the corridors. He was said to have stolen phones, and while he tried to escape, he was seen by some ladies who raised the alarm.   An eyewitness who will like to remain anonymous said he ran out of the kitchen and jumped down from the second floor to the ground. He sustained minor injuries, and to reduce the chase, he let go of the phones, which he had put in black nylon.   The Moremi residents were able to recover their phones, but he escaped through a gutter, and no one knows where he went. The porters were informed i...
