Talking About Time Strategies
I like this article. Making lists and checking off things has always been a good way for me to get things done, and now I know that it keeps me motivated.

I work as a resident adviser, and during our training we went over the different kinds of situations related to time management. There are Urgent Important, Not Urgent Important, Urgent Unimportant, Not Urgent Unimportant. Urgent important is normally unexpected emergencies, or important things that need immediate attention. Not urgent important are important things that can be planned out ahead of time. Examples are homework or paying bills. Procrastinating on not urgent important things can cause them to turn into urgent important things. Urgent unimportant things are things that do not need to be done but we tend to give priority to because there was a lack of planning before hand. An example is taking a call from your parent in the middle of a meeting because you haven't called them in awhile and they are worried. Not urgent unimportant things are things that are not necessary, like watching TV or internet surfing. Recognizing what activities go into each category can help prioritize what needs to be done first and what can wait for later.
