Second, time management is an important way to lower stress. One of the things that causes students stress is feeling like there is too much to do. Studies like the ones by Campbell and Svenson in the 1990s show that good time management skills help students do better in school One example of how you can manage your time is to make schedule and write down what you do in a day-and how much time you spend on everything. This shows how you're using your time. Ask yourself questions like: Do I want or need to do each of these things, and for this long? not, make changes. For example, you may need to spend less time in front of the TV. Another example of time management is making a list of things you need to do each day. You may realize that you need to divide projects into smaller steps so you can finish them. And that brings us surprising point: People who manage their time well, often schedule time to relax, too. That's also an important technique to use.
