we know sometimes there doesn\u2019t seem to be enough time in the day, and that things fall to the wayside as a result. while this happens to the best of us every once in a while, students who struggle with time management on an ongoing basis don\u2019t do themselves many favors. in this post, we cover some of the serious consequences that can happen when students don\u2019t manage their time properly.<\/p>\n
procrastination is the most obvious result of poor time management. students who don\u2019t have control over their time end up letting tasks sit until the last minute \u2013 and then they feel a lot of stress when they try to play catch up. if you\u2019ve let too many tasks sit, you might miss deadlines entirely.<\/p>\n
if you\u2019re having trouble balancing the demands of your course load and test prep with internships or clubs, you\u2019ll likely find that both your academics and test performance will take a hit. when you don\u2019t keep up with your studies, you\u2019re less able to understand or engage with new material, so your lack of time management can create a bad cycle for your academic performance.<\/p>\n
constantly staying up late to finish assignments that you should\u2019ve done days ago will cut into your sleeping time. we know how important sleep is to college students<\/a>, but poor time management can move sleep to the bottom of your list of priorities. this can result in fatigue and illness.<\/p>\n when you sleep through breakfast because you stayed up too late the night before trying to meet an assignment deadline, you likely won’t get three meals that day. missing a meal will typically prompt you to reach for snacks<\/a> to make up for it \u2013 and many students end up reaching for junk food and other unhealthy options.<\/p>\n if you can\u2019t manage your time, you\u2019re probably always late for things including your classes, your professors\u2019 office hours, and scheduled appointments. your lack of punctuality won\u2019t make you look professional or polished. keep in mind that people\u2019s impressions of you matter, and that people do<\/em> notice when you\u2019re consistently unable to show up on time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n catherine supports magoosh\u2019s future grad school students by unlocking tricks of the test prep and application trade. catherine spends her free time checking out local farmer\u2019s markets, reading food and lifestyle blogs, and watching bravo. she is forever in search of the best mexican and italian food in any given city.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" procrastination happens to the best of us, but students who struggle regularly with time management don\u2019t do themselves many favors. in this post, we cover the effects of poor time management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":141,"featured_media":3844,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[471,436,472,335,347,205,473],"ppma_author":[508],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n4. unhealthy eating habits<\/h3>\n
