Time Management

While at At The Crossroads, many of the young men in the program get to further their education at Dixie State College. School for the current fall semester started August 22, 2011. Midterms are coming up on October 12, 2011. For some students this may mean a midterm test. Finals will follow that on December 12-16, 2011. Again, most students will be taking a final exam. With the students managing jobs, work, and/or other responsibilities that come with being a part of At The Crossroads, it is important for them to master time management skills.
Isaac M. said the best method that he has learned is to do things right away. He mentioned, "If I don't do it [homework] right away then it won't get done." He also said he has a schedule he writes out for himself everyday with a list of things he needs to get done. He goes down the list and makes sure everything gets done and that helps him avoid procrastinating homework, or studying.
Mike M. said,"I first go off of what I have scheduled and that takes precedent. Like work, or class." He said he then does things that are due like homework and he makes sure he has time to work on his homework before it is due. He prioritizes things by importance and that is what helps him stay on top of work and school.

Good luck to all those in school this semester!
