Instead of managing time, you manage the events in your life that relate to time. You may wish for more time, but you only get 24 hours, 1,440 minutes, or 86,400 seconds each day. How you use that time depends on skills learned through self-analysis, planning, evaluation and self-control. Much like money, time is both valuable and limited. <br /><a href="https://newswire.caes.uga.edu/story/10570/10-time-management-tips.html" class="more-link">Read More</a>]]></description> <pubDate>Thu, 30 Jan 2025 13:00:00 GMT</pubDate> <guid>https://newswire.caes.uga.edu/story/10570/10-time-management-tips.html</guid> <media:content height="auto" medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://secure.caes.uga.edu/news/multimedia/images/10948/C1042-social-Preview-Image.jpg" width="300"> <media:title type="plain">C1042 social Preview Image</media:title> </media:content> <category>Stress Management</category> </item> <item> <title>UGA Extension supports resilience in Georgia farm communities after Hurricane Helene</title> <link>https://newswire.caes.uga.edu/story/10548/hurricane-helene-impacts.html</link> <description><![CDATA[Hurricane Helene wrought sweeping devastation across Georgia&#x2019;s agricultural sector in late September, leaving an indelible mark on both the land and the people who tend it, bringing focus to vulnerabilities in Georgia&#x2019;s farming industry and the need for more robust safety nets.
