  Efficient Time Management In regards to the Rules for Effective Time Management, I found that I followed many rules.  Rule 13 : Set deadlines  I set up certain times for a deadline to ensure that I have completed the assignment. This helps me so I don’t have to cram and doesn’t let me procrastinate.  Rule 2 : Making a list of daily tasks  Before starting everyday, I make a list of what needs to be completed throughout the day. This will insure that I stay organized.

This leads to wasted time.  Rule 11 : Do not Procrastinate  This is a bad habit of mine and gets myself in situations that I do not want to be in.
