Time management for students is very important, but even more so for medical students due to the nature and sheer volume of workload they have to cope with. This is particularly true if you are interning as well as studying. There are tremendous benefits to practicing good time management, not least of which is a reduction in your stress levels, so taking advantage of a few time management tips will make all the difference.

As a medical student, there is already a huge amount of pressure being placed on your shoulders, so how well you manage your time is critical. If you are finding that it is all becoming too much for you, then read on for a few handy time management tips that will help you get a grip on your chaotic life.

• Write down every single thing you do over the course of a week: from studying, working, socializing, and even how many hours you spend sleeping. This is a useful way of seeing exactly how you use the time available to you. It will help you to see where you are wasting unnecessary time. 
• A calendar is very useful for planning your work schedule and lectures in advance. If you have use of a computer regularly, then setting up one on something like Outlook will only take a short amount of time. You can enable reminders for the important stuff and have these sent to you phone or pager. Alternatively, stick a planner on your wall and write on it daily.
• Make a list of tasks and prioritize the importance of each one. Some things are more important than others. For example, you might play sports once a week, which is important, but if you have an exam to study for, then your sport will have to take a back seat for a while.
• If you are working as an intern your shifts are fixed, but your study hours are not. Be honest with yourself about how much time you actually need to spend studying. Some students require more study time than others. If you are struggling with your grades, schedule more time for study and cut back in other, less important areas—such as socializing.

Finally, time management for students is important, but there will always be unexpected interruptions and distractions, so make sure you build some flexibility into your schedule to accommodate these.

Currently in the UK there is an increasing need for home movers to sell their properties fast. Unfortunately most sellers still think that their only option is to use their high street estate agent. When time is of the essence the last thing you want to do is tell that to an estate agent.

Unfortunately this is leaving sellers open to agents who give a falsely high, or a falsely low valuation, to win the instruction in the first case, or to make their job easier and/or get a quick commission in the latter. Either way the seller is losing out.

Thankfully there are more effective options available to you. It is easy to sell your house quickly but it does take a little intelligent research and work. Here is a step by step sell house fast guide:

1: Presenting Your Property:

The first thing you want to do in order to get the best price for your home is to give it a right good seeing to. The 1st step is to make sure every room in the house has a defined use; bedrooms should be bedrooms (not home offices) etc. Next get to work giving everything a deep clean and take care of all those little DIY jobs that you’ve been putting off. Finally stand back and try to take an objective look at your property through the eyes of a buyer. Try to imagine what may be off-putting to a 1st time visitor (usually it’s the things that most define your personality that will be the problem) and then swallow your pride and banish it from your house.

The gardens need to be tidied up and titivated as well, unless you are a dedicated gardener anyway. It sounds like a lot of work (and it is) however, it will be worth it when the property attracts multiple offers and sells quickly for more than the asking price.

2: Valuation:

The Land Registry now has all its indices online. So you can check regional data, cross-reference it by property type and run historical comparisons. This all helps you gauge how much similar homes in the area are selling for, you can then decide your initial asking price based on this. You can also have estate agents round and get their tuppence worth as well. You can even have them market the property alongside you, just be sure to have a clause in their contract that they receive no commission if you sell the property yourself.

3: Marketing:

There are dozens of quality sites to market private property for sale in the UK, many of which are free. Two that are known to bring results are Tepilo (free) and The Little House Company (£100approx). There has also been a recent BBC program on selling property privately that suggested a few “left field” marketing ideas such as arranging “open days” and having a presence at public events such as local fetes.

4: Viewings:

The “viewing” is very important to get right. It is your one chance to look prospective buyers in the eye and tell they exactly why your house is the best on offer within it’s price bracket and locality. The one rule to follow here is to be honest. Anything less than that will undoubtedly come back to haunt you. Conducting viewings when you are not used to it can be nerve-racking, so attempting to lie will most likely add an additional and noticeable tremble to your voice.

Don’t get to worried about conducting viewings. There really isn’t much to it and you can be certain you’ll do a better job than an estate agent. After all, no one is better placed to sell your home than you.

5: Negotiations:

It is a area where one can step out of the equation if you want, and allow your conveyancing solicitor to carry out negotiations on your behalf. Here, your connection with the purchasers struck up during the viewings can work in your favour or against you. If you think you would find it difficult to firmly represent your position then get the solicitor to do it for you.

6. Stop Repossession of House:

If I was facing repossession then really my only realistic option would be to sell my home for cash within a 28 day time-frame. The only way to do this is by using a specialist cash house buying company. These companies can be found advertising on Google and in local property papers.

Conclusion:

And that is it; you have successfully sold your own home. If you have done everything above to the absolute best of your ability, the chances are you will have gotten a price in and around your asking price, maybe even a little more. The final steps are, pat yourself on the back, and watch the champagne bubbles don’t get up your nose too much.
