It always seems that there isn’t enough time available in a day to complete all your tasks. Managing multiple projects and tasks is an important skill that is required in the present life. Some people complete all their projects and work and still have enough time left to achieve so much more while others are stumbling to even cover their daily tasks. This can happen with good time management. 

The highest achiever tends to manage their time exceptionally well. That is when you efficiently organize, plan and divide your time with specific activities. This makes you work smarter as this way you can get done with more work in less time and deal with high pressures. As time management develops a sense of where to focus your time and why, which directly helps in self-management and creates a huge impact on the daily life routine. 

 Organizational and comprehension skills are essential for any college course but the ability to effectively manage time and get their work done is also really important. 48.4% of college students do not have enough time to do their projects and meet deadlines on time [1].

Mentors help students to develop good time management skills by making them understand the importance of it. They can help you plan your week's / month's strategies to effectively manage your time. They stress on prioritizing their activities and mapping out their day efficiently, by making an effective schedule the mentee can complete their work on time and also make time for their social life or self-development. Mentors always help their mentees when they are in conflict and try and resolve it by guiding them towards planning and prioritizing their activities according to the values and commitments. 

Mentors also make sure that their mentees are making complete use of their time and are not wasting it on unnecessary activities that have no source of growth in them. Mentors provide useful advice and help them in making effective time management schedules and plans and make sure that their mentees are hitting their desired goals. This creates a sense of accomplishment for the mentees as a result of effective time management which also increases their high-performing skills. 

Sometimes when going gets tough, people just end up juggling with work, projects and meeting deadlines. However, with a mentor beside you in these difficult times, it becomes easier and doable for the mentees and they don’t lose hope as they are guided and supported by their mentors who help them by building different personal strategies and methods of time management which are best for them. 

Let’s see how the mentor of Hudson Catholic helped one of their students with time management. So, the mentor mentioned that the student was really struggling in school as a freshman, and she just couldn’t figure out how she could meet all the deadlines on time and also spare some extra time for other activities. 

The mentor guided her with her schedule of the time she had from when she went home till she went to bed. By bringing that schedule into action the student was able to get her work done efficiently and still has time to spare time for her friends and other social activities. That student is now achieving remarkable grades in her school [2].
