How to manage your time: Get in the Habit of Using Reminders

Although I don’t advise using technology to plan out your day, reminders on your phone can be a stress-free way to manage your time.
You should still have your goals written out in a planner, but reminders can help you remember when it’s time to complete them.
For example, if you don’t have your planner with you and you just got out of class, your phone can remind you to write down the homework you were assigned or to get studying for a test. 
Reminders are essentially your back up planner for things that you may forget at times.

Is Fikile Mbalula, international man of mystery, in Ukraine or SA? We will know at 10:00 on Monday
Jan Gerber

The supposed mystery of Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula's whereabouts will be cleared up at 10:00 on Monday morning.
On Saturday morning at 10:53, Mbalula raised quizzical eyebrows when he tweeted, "Just landed in Ukraine."
As many South African Twitter users commiserated with the Ukrainian people over this, no explanation was forthcoming from Mbalula.
News24 reported on Saturday that Mbalula and all his spokespeople were not immediately available to shed any light, but ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe said: "I suspect he has been hacked."
Several Twitter users speculated that Mbalula's presence was part of the Russian invasion, as he was sure to leave a trail of destruction in his path.
There was, subsequently, complete radio silence from the usually prolific tweeter, Mbalula.
But he stuck his head up from the Twitter trenches about 28 hours after his initial tweet.
At 14:48 on Sunday, Mbalula tweeted: "Tomorrow I'll conduct an oversight visit to DLTCs in the Gauteng province. I will also speak on the approaching deadline for the Extension of Licence Validity and other related issues."
There was also an invitation for the media to accompany Mbalula to driving licence test centres (DLTC) in Gauteng.
At the time of writing, no clarification for the Ukraine tweet was offered.
Before his cryptic tweet about landing in Ukraine, Mbalula retweeted the Russian Embassy in South Africa, who thanked South Africans for their support of Russia in "fighting Nazism in Ukraine".
In a very unusual diplomatic move, the German embassy in South Africa responded, saying Russia is "is slaughtering innocent children, women and men for its own gain".
"It's definitely not 'fighting Nazism'. Shame on anyone who's falling for this," the German tweet read.
With regard to the Russian invasion, the South African government has publicly said it is practising "quiet diplomacy" - and that it will not pick sides.
