...works for me.... 
[Edited 12/3/08 10:03am] yeah that's it, pace yourself...an old manager of mine used to tell me all the time..'i've watched how you work,and you time everything to take a certain amount of time...just enough time to get everything done you're supposed to do.. and nothing extra...you pace yourself to work like that every day..' and i continued to do so... 
that backfires sometimes too.. In the military, we call that "effective time management"....  He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.

eraclito said: timetable your day, there is a time for working and a time for playing.
i know what time i have to wake up, what time i have to eat, what i have to eat, when i have to walk my dog, go out etc etc, everyday. othewise i wouldn't get jack shit done. i also have days off where i can do what i feel like, but if you are working towards something, discipline, and sticking to your timetable, well it works for me. Ok, I'm going to try writing out a rigid timetable and sticking to it. I've never been a creature of routine -- I don't like every day to be the same -- but I'll write one out every morning, depending on what I need to do that day. Thanks for the suggestion. It must seem obvious, but it's not something I've ever done. "What's 'non-sequitur' mean? Do I look it up in a Fag-to-English dictionary?" | |

I know, but girl, I'm gonna be a med student. There's gonna be too gawddamned much stuff to do. iDunno, maybe at that point it becomes irrelevant, because every minute is the last minute. But I fear going into it with such bad habits. And honestly, my grades have been slipping, and if I don't turn that around, it's gonna be tough to get in. Meh. "What's 'non-sequitur' mean?
