Time Management

To be completely honest, I'm terrible with time management. It has become increasingly obvious as my first semester of college continues. I've never cared much for the feeling I get whenever I fail to meet a deadline; normally I try not to worry about it, but it always catches up to me. Besides the constant stress, if I miss deadlines, I tend to fall behind, and eventually, it may lead to failing the class.
On the other side of things, successful time management makes things much easier on me. It's always a huge relief to get things done and out of the way on (if not ahead of) time. I think, though, that my time management was better in high school. There, I had more accessible resources; internet at both home and school, printers that didn't charge for copies, etc. Now that I balance a radio show, school, work, and family and friends, plus the fact that I'm on my own now; things are a lot different, and as a result, it is difficult for me to get things accomplished. I do think I'm maturing, in many different ways, (my time management skills included) but possibly not as fast as is being expected of me. It's a work in progress...
As for resources that have heled me thus far; well, there are several. Google.com, Yahoo.com, and the Butler website have been great helps, and are largely responsible for getting me through some of my classes.
