I'm sure we've all heard the term 'time management', even more now that college is a reality. It can be difficult to balance school, work, and friends and find that perfect schedule that works best for each unique person. Finals are here and all we can think about it studying for hours on end, but it's important to remember to keep yourself healthy and happy first. Here are a few tips to help you with time management.

1. Complete the most important tasks first.

Make sure you finish your most essential tasks first whether it be studying for an exam or paying a certain bill. Prioritize your to-do list.

2. Sleep at least 7 hours every night.

This can be difficult with school and work in the way but sometimes sacrificing sleep is detrimental and can actually hurt productivity. I know you might think staying up studying all night is better, but research has proven that you'll actually remember more when you study effectively and get enough sleep.

3. Get and early start.

Make sure you get things done right away. Procrastination is not your friend and can lead to more stress.

4. Cut down on TV, internet, and game time.

Excessive distractions can aid procrastination and prevent you from completing certain tasks. It's so easy to grab your phone or laptop and scroll on Facebook for an hour, avoiding your responsibilities. Find a balance between fun and work.

5. Take breaks.

Overall, find a balance between all of your responsibilities. You'll thank yourself later.
