Turn intentions into action! Good time management is one of the most important indicators of student success, and it is also one of the most difficult things for students to learn. It involves breaking old habits and developing new ones, which is often challenging for college students. This workshop will help students learn good timemanagement strategies and will provide practical tips for maintaining and improving these skills for academic success. Please make your students aware of these workshops.
