Time management is about setting and following a schedule of study in order to organise and prioritise your studies in the context of competing activities of work, family, etc.
According to Davidson (1997) and Wetmore (1999), the 7 divisions of time are family, society, health, finance, spirituality, work and self-development.
- Family
Ensure that you contact your parents at least once a week. By doing so, your parents will be happy with you and so will God. They will pray for you and of course things will go smoothly. -According to my experience it really effective or in other words in really assist you in doing well everything in your life. Not only that it also do so when you are taking examination as well. I always remember my father's advice in order to success it is not only depend on your hard works but yet it also rely on our parents' bless. I frequently do this because I believe when our parents do bless us Allah also will bless us with His rahmat and help us in doing something successfully and smoothly as what is said by Prof Dr. Muhaya. For instance when I'm in boarding school and in fact even nowadays too I still keep in touch with my parents such as by calling them but don't be like me sometimes I always call them at the last minutes due to my around the corner coming exam..what kind of son am I??? haha just in order to get 'berkat' la konon nya..
2. Society
Be sensitive to the people around you. This includes your roommates, classmates and those you come into contact with. Should someone gets into trouble, try to help him or her even if it means some taxation on your time. The time spent helping others will be repaid by God in that you will save time on other things such as being able to understand certain subjects ¡n a shorter time than usual. Have faith.
- Same thing went to me too sometimes when I’m doing my revision especially. Two or three of my buddies come to me and ask several questions to me. At first I felt disturbed and moreover my study progress was hampered sometimes. However I agree with Prof Dr Muhaya. When we lend our hand helping them in their studies actually it helps you too to reduce your study times. Furthermore, it also assists you to refresh your knowledge and when you teach others, you speak, you listen to their problems, you interpret the questions or problems and then you train and ‘squeeze’ your brain to answer them and lastly you speak or present the solution to them… You see!! How much skills have you done?? Does it help you a lot?? I’m sure you will be easier to remember the facts and in fact you are actually are cutting the learning curve as you don’t have to utilize more time and hard work to revise the topic again. For sure your friends are the assistance of your learning ways.
3. Health
A healthy mind comes from a healthy body. Even though you are young with no illness, make sure that you maintain your health by having a balanced meal, enough sleep and adequate exercise. Do you know that exercise produces a lot of alpha waves around you, which allow you to study better? Do not try to save time by not having a proper meal and just surviving on cup noodles. Be sure to take nutritious food for good health.- Actually it terribly ticklish me as it happens to me in other way around as I almost waste my penny on food and now I’m becoming chubbier and flabbier ever.. Huh no comment on this matter.
4. Finance
Take some time in a day to organize your spending and ensure that you keep at least 10% of your income as a saving for emergency purposes. Remember, do not try to cut down your spending on academic material. For example, if you need to photocopy articles, do not try to save money by choosing a cheap photocopy machine which gives you poor quality prints or by reducing its size, which will tire your eyes reading them.
5. Spirituality
This is an important component to spend time on because spirituality has to be well maintained as it Influences your attitude to life as a whole. For the Muslims, apart from the five prayers, ensure that you go to weekly religious group meetings where you would be reminded of your behaviour and deeds according to the Holy Book. By enhancing your spirituality, you seek the blessings of the Almighty, and God, being the ruler of the whole world will show his rewards by ensuring that your life runs smoothly.
6. Work (study)
This of course takes the priority as you are given five years to complete your duty as a medical student and you should be able to achieve your targets. The key factor to achieving this is by adapting the correct attitude in your studies as have been discussed in the previous chapters.
7. Self-Development
This is important as you are actually developing yourself every time you study. As a doctor, one very important skill that you must possess is communication, in order to make yourself understood by patients. Students must know how to communicate with patients. They must know what to say and when to say it.
