How does time management in college compare to high school, and how can you assess your own time management abilities?
I remember my high school experience being more pushy. The teachers would first get on you about getting on your assignments and if i would pay attention and not listen it would resort to my councilor having to step in. Motivation was a hard thing for but one of key things that help me get through assignments was that i was a track n field athlete, If i didn’t get high grades i would fail and i wouldn’t be eligible. Eligibility would come out every Friday, lets say i had a 59% because of a missing 4 missing assignments, Its currently a Tuesday and remember that eligibility comes out every Friday. I knew that would need to plan how to get done before Friday, So maybe that would mean no going out with my friends that week or not going to bed early. Now when i looking at college right now i realize that i am gonna have to a find a different incentive because i am not in track no more and a lot of stuff i do is gonna have to be by myself and if i want help i am going to have to reach out myself, I didn’t need to really do that in high school. I need to figure out what exactly i value. Why i am going to school in the first place and ask myself why should i do this assignment

Its a scary feeling. Some effective strategies that i personally think would help is learning how to be uncomfortable to make you more comfortable .
