Lectured by NURSYAHIDA BINTI ZULKIFLI
Okay guys, so for this week everything is based on organization and how to manage your time wisely. As time is the most precious thing to all of us we have to value time as we valued other important things.
DEFINITION OF TIME

DEFINITION OF TIME MANAGEMENT
-          The ability to use one’s time effectively or productively, especially at work.
THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME 
-          The importance of time we can analyse from the Hadiths and Surah in the Quran.  This show that even in Islam, time is valuable and crucial for those who use it wisely.
Narrated Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Apostle as saying, ‘Do not abuse Time, for it is Allah Who is the Time.’ Sahih Muslim.
Ibn ‘Abbas narrated that the Messenger of Allah s.a.w. said “Two favors that many of the people squander are health and free time.” (Sahih)

“By time. Indeed, mankind is in loss.  Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.”
(Surah Al-Asr)


5 STRATERGIES (STUDY SYSTEM)
·         Weekly schedule – by doing a weekly schedule I can see what are the main event are going on within that week. It helps me to be prepared the day before the event.
·         Daily planner – daily planner is an essential for me as a student to keep me organized with my daily chores and the assignments that needed to be done.
·         Semester calendar
·         Academic vs. Personal life – This takes a lot of effort because living far away from home and family is pretty hard, at the same time I have to focus on my studies as a college student. But this will take time and effort to balance between Academic life and Personal life.
·         Avoid procrastination! – That one thing that I always do is procrastinating, I think I have to find a way to make me feel driven to finish my work on time and stop delaying or giving any excuses. It takes a great major of discipline to avoid procrastinating and start doing my job right away.

HOW TO MANAGE YOUR TIME?
·         By using the applications on my phone, I manage to organize my time wisely. Examples of some applications that I used are calendar, alarm, reminder, planner , Onenotes and Gmail.
·         By using a physical planner book. It depends on people on how they like to plan things. But for me, I like to write down things that needed to be done so that it will stay in my head longer.

·         I don’t always bring my planner with me so what I did was I kept thinking of things that needed to be done in earlier times. I like to think/ organized things that matters in my head because it’s a lot easier and safe time too.         
·         Make the Prophet Muhammad and his companions as an example of my daily life, and here’s a video on how successful people at the beginning of time organized their time wisely.
