How to Develop and Implement a Time Management Plan 

Procedures for Developing and Implementing a Time Management Plan

1. Establish a time for planning the beginning of each week when you will not be interrupted. This time also should be used to review your prior week's use of time and performance.

2. Enter all fixed activities in your weekly schedule.

3. Review your written goals to determine what tasks need to be started or completed to bring you closer to attaining your goals.

4. Check your semester calendar to determine whether there are any in exams, papers, or other major assignments due in the next few weeks.

5. Identify all the personal and academic tasks you have to complete for the week on the prioritized task list.

6. Prioritize daily tasks list by a value (A, B, or C) to each item on the list. Place an "A" next to items that must be done. Place a "B" next to any task that is important and should be done. That is, after all the "A" tasks are completed, and you have time, you would work on the "B" items. Finally, write a "C" next to any task that is less important and could be done. That is, after the "A" and "U" tasks have been completed, you'll do the "C" tasks.

7. Give a numerical value to each item on the list. In other words, determine which "A" task is most important and label it "A-1." Then decide which "A" item is next most important and label it "A-2," and so on. Do the same for
"B" and "C" tasks.

8. Complete your weekly schedule by transferring the items on your priority tasks sheet to your weekly schedule forms. Put the "A" Items first, followed by the "B" items, and finally as many of the "C" items you think you can accomplish.

9. Each evening check your weekly schedule for the next day and make modifications as needed (e.g., changes in appointments, unexpected assignments, or unusual demands on time).
