Q: How do you manage your time?

A: I create schedules in order to stay on track and get everything done.

Q: If you could, what advice would you give to others on how to manage their time

A: I would advise others to use an agenda in order to plan out all of their assignments and test dates in order to stay organized. Also, they need to learn how to prioritize and get the assignments that are the most important and time consuming done first. I would advise them to limit distractions and not get sidetracked doing other activities or going on their phones for too long. In order to properly manage time, people need to create schedules and actually follow them.
