The “24B4” principle

Regardless of whether I'm teaching college, or high school, or whether it’s my communication, film production, speech or marketing course, I always include Time Management in my curriculum.  Here's a helpful little pdf that we use at Northwest Christian High School.  It might be a little juvenile for college students, so feel free to rip and tweak as you please.  In my high school class, we have a contest to see who can come up with the stickiest message each week.  One student came up with "24B4," meaning that a student should always aim to finish a project 24 hours before the due date.  That way, if he gets sick, has a computer problem, or whatever, he's still got time.
