An important part of tîme management is to establish goals at the start of 'the week that are attainable. If you set your- standards too high, you will not be able to live up. to them and this wilI contribute to your stress level. For exam- pIe, if you say that on Tuesday nig5ht you want to: write your 2000 word essay rough draft, write an article for the newspa- per, catch up on missed histo- ry homnework and study for that English test you forgot about, you will likely get so discour- aged that you will en-d up get- ting none of it done anid you will be right back whr ou start- ed: STRESS! A goal you could have reached may hiave bjeeni to start your essay, study for- the test and et up early the necxt m-iominig to write your article. By sayinig this to your'self, you are now seting g oals that vou can reach and you will hikely feel a lot better about yourself. Another time mnanagemenit technique is to plan ahead. That 2000 word essay likely wasn 't iven Co you yesterday. The teacher probably gave it to you in what should have been, plenty of timie to fiiish it. A long term plan may have helped you get that essay done sooner. One way of planning in advance is keeping a planner that will continually remmnd you of upcomingi events and assign- mient-. The due date shouild always be triIthe plarnner, but so shoulpi some reiniders,-. For example, on eeyMondlay you coul d write EýSSAY, whîch1 would hielp you to remembeil)r that you have to work oit . By, doing this, dleadlines are less * ikely to creep 1up on you. These are only suggestions and mnay not work for every- body. If somieone is still havingý time mnanagement difficties the Peer Couinselors are in the Guidanice Office at Clarke, with fresh ideas. Perhaps, if your time -management skills are improved this y ear, next holi- dlay-exami season will be more enjoyable, whien youi don't hiave to worry about those ISP's. essays and ter-m papers. g You A 11 1ý Merry Chrismas ai hanks. n Irom ehris and Paul C3ennett cit Newcastle Photographie PUBLIC NOTICE Corporation of the Municipality of Ctarington GARBAGE COLLECTION Please ensuire that garbage is at curbsîde by 7:00 arn. on your collection day.
