Busy, Busy, Busy?

When studying the sciences life can be pretty busy.  Between labs, class, studying, and somehow trying to find time to eat and sleep a lot of people think that's all science majors do, but that isn't always the case.  I myself am part of 3 different clubs on campus (an officer of one of them), have a job that I work a good number of hours at, go to the gym everyday, and still am able to find a little bit of time to unwind in between all of the craziness of my life.  The key to being able to handle all of this comes in two small words; time management.

By practicing good time management skills it makes it more possible for me to be involved so heavily in my college community, have a steady job, and , most importantly, keep my grades up.  I personally have 2 calendars that I have completely filled out to keep myself on track. One of them sits directly in front of me on the wall in front of my desk, and the other is eye level on my door.  Having these strategically placed like this allows me to always at least get a good glance at my schedule at least once in the morning, and allows me to plan accordingly.  This is one way to keep myself on schedule, but it helps me.  If anyone has any sort of ideas to help as well go ahead and add some comments! It'd be great to get some feedback from anyone reading this, and to get some sort of discussion on what other people do to keep their heads above water so to speak.
