Another key factor is SCHEDULING (really included in time managment). Get a planner or a PDA and schedule everything, meals, study time, housework, couple time, etc. This tool will not allow you to overschedule and free your mind from remembering details to concentrate on your tasks.
You must also PRIORITIZE. What is more important, cleaning the toilet every week or volunteering at a shelter once a week? running an errand for your cousin or taking a bubble bath for some down time? Those things that are important to you, make them a priority, those things that aren't, say NO or find an alternative (don't do it, find someone else to do it, modify the requirements, etc)
Unfortunately, these are learned behaviors so you must practice them so the behavior will flow unconciously. Hope this helps.
