Time Management:
Time management is key to accomplishing most tasks in life especially programming. Time is precious; do not waste time. Meetings are necessary, but often are time wasters. Keep discussions brief within meetings, try not to keep everyone there trying to solve a problem in the meantime. Keeping focus all the time is a tough task, especially with software development, but you can break up your day with simpler tasks. This directly applies to us but more in the sense of managing other classes/work on top of our programming.
Estimation:
Estimation will always cause uncertainty. One of the hardest questions a developer will ever have to answer is how long something will take. The PERT technique computes distributions based off best-case, nominal, and worst-case estimates for the project.
