Time management can be a very tricky obstacle to overcome. For me as a nurse, time management is always a priority when I start my shift, but it quickly becomes an after thought as I start completing not only the tasks of my shift, but also taking care of my patients. When I was an adolescent time management was never a top priority, I would lay around after school or go and see my friends and wait to do homework until late at night. As Berger stated a classic example is when teachers talk about a paper or a project weeks or even a month in advance but high school students don't start think about it until a few days or a week before. I know I was guilty of that in high school, but not I don't have time for that. Every week I have to plan out when and what days I can sit and do homework. I work full time as nurse and I am also a full time college student, if I waited until the last minute to write a paper or do a project I would fail because I would just not have enough time to get everything done. I believe young adults take time for granted and then suffer when it does not work out the way that they anticipated.
