What are your best time management tips?

As student, I am struggling with time management. The thing is that, although I plan my day, I cannot fullfill my planned work. During the day, I am being stressed, walking as all negative. Important thing to mention is that, my university's educational system is that, we have very often too many exams. In last exam, I got low score and after a month I am going to have subject exams again. I am worrying too much and cannot live normal/pieceful life. When I was at high school, I enjoyed/loved learning. But now, I lost this trait. What can you advice TED community, how can I regain my this trait? I am feeling and realizing that I am not studying for myself, it's just may be for passing exams. I know I was not this kind of person, and I'd love to know any of your advices.

Thank you

  • Feb 11 2013: GETTING THINGS DONE, is the answer.
    As an totaly unorganized person, this really helped me.
    It takes all the ideas out of your head, so your head is clear to do your tasks.

    Now your head is full of things you should not forget doing.
    • Feb 12 2013: Your comment reminded me of an interview someone gave on tv.
      The person stated that when he was little his mom always said to him:

      "Do what you have to to, so you can do what you want to do".

      I have never forgotten that advice....and I use it often with my kids when they try to procrastinate.
