Graduate Programs

Like most graduate students, my To Do list gets out of control quite frequently. Recently, I ran across a time management technique to help prioritize items on the To Do list that was presented by the authors of First Things First (Simon & Schuster) that I found quite helpful. The authors advised that you draw a 2x2 table and place items on your To Do list into one of the four squares. They suggested that you begin by tackling those items that are in the square marked Important/Urgent, followed by Important/Not Urgent before turning to “not important” items.
