NewSela time-management

1. Megan Red Shirt-Shaw

         Megan is a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe in Pine Ridge. Generally speaking, she is a native American. She is a shining example of people, who know how to set priorities in their lives. 

          Quote:"Almost one year ago, I packed three suitcases and moved 3,000 miles to start at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I felt like I was carrying every native student I loved with me, along with my mother, father, sister, brother and niece. Standing here, I continue to carry all of those first day voices, but now I also carry all of you, as well." 

         It was so hard for her to move and chase her dreams. However, she had set priorities. Time-management is actually all about achieving your goals. The moral is that you need to take risks and know your priorities.

2. A Wrinkle in Time

         Quote: "A Wrinkle in Time" was first published in 1962. Back then, stories about smart, young females who liked science were scarce, but author Madeline L'Engle was nothing if not a visionary, and so was her book's main character, Meg Murry." 

         This story is about a great timing. Meg, the main character, was the one to show that anyone, female or male, can achieve goals in any spheres of life. She set her goals and then she made a huge, enormous success. 

On March 9, 2018, a Disney movie version of "A Wrinkle in Time" will hit theaters. Meg will continue to send the important message that science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) careers are not just for boys and men. 

         Those are the professions, which require the skill of time-management. Tip: if you have an exact strategy, then you can set goals in any aspects of life, whether it's more "men's" or "women's" profession.

3. Baldwin 

         It's an inspiring story of the successful author, James Baldwin. He really had no time, due to his responsibility to work and support his family financially. 

Quote:"After graduating high school in 1942, Baldwin had to put his plans for college on hold to help support his family, which included seven younger children. He took whatever work he could find, including laying railroad tracks for the U.S. Army in New Jersey. "

         Nevertheless, he got rid of any time wasters and started to chase his dream -share ideas through storytelling.

 "While working odd jobs to support himself, Baldwin began writing his first novel. He also started getting essays and short stories published in various national magazines."

He had a strict schedule but he had never been multitasking, Tip: you can get all the things done just if you concentrate enough to save time.
