Procrastination is a struggle many students face when doing their best to have time management.

“I’ve dealt with a lot of stressful periods in high school, especially being in Clements,” senior Juhi Godbole said. “There’s a lot of pressure to do good in your grades, to be in a bunch of extracurriculars [and] to show colleges this impressive resume.”

Godbole is a photographer for the Roundup, along with being the vice president for the club Quill and Scroll, and is involved with the National Honor Society and Best Buds, so balancing the different aspects of her life is very important to her. 

“So sometimes for NHS, I’ll be volunteering, and that volunteering will take up like a chunk of my time,” Godbole said. “Then I’ll sort out things that I need to get done that day, but plan them around at events, that way I’m not stressing myself.”

Sophomore Reese Payne advises many students to write down what they need to do by using a planner, calendar, or anything that can keep track of important dates, for tests and quizzes.

“Zeros do add up,” Payne said. “ So I’d say just stay on top of everything and make sure you finish every assignment that’s given to you.”

Payne also noticed by utilizing her time she is less overwhelmed in general, and gets better grades because of not procrastinating. Godbole has used that advice to create a schedule that fits with her day.

“If that’s something that makes you happy, I think time management, if you manage your time properly, and incorporate that into your schedule, I think you’d overall be just a much happier, healthier person,” Godbole said.
