Blog Post #1: Randy Pausch on Time Management

Planning is essential when it comes to time management.  Just because we are busy or things are subject to change does not mean that we should avoid planning.  Schedules and “to-do” lists can help keep us organized even if we do have to change plans as other things come up.  It is very important to know the reasons behind our everyday actions and plans.  We should know the benefits and consequences of our plans and consider those before we actually do them.  However, I think the most important thing that Dr. Pausch said was that experience comes from time.  Having experience in a particular field makes someone much more marketable.  Someone with experience has already tried, failed and succeeded in different areas so they are better prepared to perform the job than someone who is trying it for the first time.  For me personally that means the more internships and hands-on experience I can get the better off I will be when I am looking for a job in a few years.
