Afterwards, Ms. Angelica Velasquez discussed the 4 BEst strategies on

how to administer time management skills. The first one is Be Intentional: “Keep
a to-do-list”. It is a manageable way to organize the task of an individual, stay

mentally focused and keep tracked of the activities to do. The next one is Be

mindful of your priorities: “Rank your tasks”. An individual should prioritize the

important tasks to avoid focusing on inconsequential tasks. Even though the
time ended up, they were also able to share the two strategies through their

presentation which is to Be Focused: “Manage Distractions” and Be rechargea-

ble: “Get yourself a smooth breath”. Managing distractions can help students to

keep track of the tasks to do. Likewise, taking rests and relaxation at times can
ease the mind of an individual and helps to exert more energy and effort upon

doing various tasks. After the discussion presented by the last two speakers,

the participants were able to acquire knowledge about strategies on adminis-

tering effective time management skills which they can adapt in different situa-

tions. These strategies can be applied in real-life. The participants also recog-
nized the cause of procrastination and relevant techniques to overcome this.

Lastly, the discussion greatly impacts the participants in terms of iden-

tifying their priorities and goals.

Generally, effective time management skills can greatly affect the phys-

ical, mental, and social aspects of an individual. Providing appropriate plans and
exercising conscious control of time to do various activities can increase the ef-

fectiveness, efficiency and productivity of an individual. As part of modern soci-

ety, it is a crucial skill to be practiced especially for students in a way that it can

be applied to their profession and future success. Balancing time can lead to a
higher acquisition of benefits. Thus, the knowledge provided from today’s webi-

nar can greatly contribute to the participant’s self-reflection.

Moreover, effective time management allows an individual to fo-

cus and keep track on their specific goals and priorities.
