Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time – classes, homework and activities – with some family help. College helps you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrows produce while planning next week’s menu.

Someone said, “Wherever you are, being there” Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrate on the moment at hand.

Attention to detail

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite resources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a data place, or keep a log.

John wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who led them to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed to his success. One of many details he said was paying very close to small details. He even paid attention to how his players lace up and tied their shoes.

Details may be small things, but from small to get great things.

Also if you do something wrong make up for it and tell someone that you did it. Chances are if  you man up about it they'll give you a break or a second chance.

Tips 1-2

To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about what you’re doing. Here are 5 ways to stay focused.

1.   The key to success is to stay focused on your course work. Make a list so you get an idea of the workload before you tackle any of it. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest tasks first, those take more time and effort and the ones you work most on. To assign your priorities  list your chores in order of most importance, then devote more time to those chores. For example studying for a mid-term is more important than writing a essay for English. As you complete each task, think of it as another great leap towards college.

2.   Changing your approach. If you have a similar project like you’ve done in the past do same thing.
