Focus Area: Managing Commitments

Managing Commitments deals with students' ability to manage their academic and other commitments, such as work, family, and extracurricular responsibilities. This Focus Area targets the development of time-management and task-prioritization skills while helping students achieve balance in their lives.

The Managing Commitments Focus Area helps students understand:

• How time management leads to students' enhanced ability to devote to school the time needed to be successful
• How organized they are, and steps they can take to become better organized

"Dustin was feeling overwhelmed in his classes. He was even having trouble sleeping at night because of the stress. Dustin and I took some time to review each of his assignments. We planned each day of the week so that he would know when each thing needed to be done. After the meeting, Dustin told me that the situation wasn't as bad as it had seemed. And he was able to sleep better once knew that he had completed the things that needed to be done for each day."
