Samarths Time Management

 As a student nowadays, especially as an international student in London, I need to manage my time wisely and use my time in such a way that I am able to balance my academic life, which is being in college attending classes, being at home cooking, or even travelling and enjoying myself. As an international student combining my multiple duties in London, efficient time management has been critical. With a schedule that includes six hours of study, 1and a half hour of travel, and cooking, I've had to devise techniques to maximise my time and guarantee that all of my chores are performed properly.

Caroline, our term 1 instructor, educated us about managing our time. She even provided me a time management chat as an activity, which surprised me, but then I began adhering to the time management chat that I had established in the shape of a task.

As stated by George in  2012 "Having a defined daily pattern is one part of managing one's time", that I discover useful. I was able to prioritise my duties while making the greatest use of my free time by setting particular time periods for various pursuits such as taking courses, travelling to work, and cooking. This method helps me retain discipline and guarantees that key chores are not overlooked.

In addition, I've learnt the value of setting realistic objectives and deadlines. I can handle larger jobs more successfully and prevent becoming stressed by dividing them into smaller, digestible bits. This method enables me to make continuous advancement and keep on target with my objectives.

However, time management is a difficulty for overseas students. It might be difficult to manage academic responsibilities, travel time, and food preparation. Unexpected occurrences or new tasks have occasionally upset my intended timetable, necessitating flexibility and adaptability. Prioritisation and good making decisions became even more important at the moment.

Focusing on managing my time has given me important life skills including determination, preparation, and flexibility. These abilities will not only help me in my present circumstances, but will also be useful in the future in my social as well as personal life. By successfully organising my time, I was able to strike a balance between academic obligations, wellness, and social events, so improving my general well-being and efficiency. Now I make sure to get at least seven hours of sleep. Some days are outliers. Previously, I spent my leisure time exclusively searching the internet and using Instagram But now I know how to manage my time and make place for everything, such as doing my academic tasks on the train while travelling, enabling me to spend additional time at home..

Finally, time management is critical for an international student in London juggling study, journey, and food. I was able to effectively handle my time and perform my duties by using organised schedules, target planning, and flexibility. This technique has provided me with vital skills while also improving my general efficiency and happiness. In the future, I plan to improve my time management methods in order to maximise the effectiveness while maximising the most of my foreign student experience in London. Now that I've set up my time management programme, I'm able to sleep well, do my homework, and enjoy my life.

My daily schedule is outlined below
