I have not yet used all of my time like I should. I find it hard to study at home so I have to make myself leave and go to mostly coffee shops around my house. I have made changes, just wanting to stay focus and focus on one thing at a time is the key! My short term goal was to organize my closet before the weekend came. I did not follow through with it mostly because of frustration. I did remove most of the clothing that I am not wearing and plan on taking all of the items to the goodwill or selling some.

ReplyDeleteI use most of my time really well, but the problem is that a lot of my free time is not used towards something productive. If I am not working and finished with school work, I usually just chill out and relax. I was not surprised to see that most of my time was devoted to sleep and class. That seemed about right. I have started to do more things to stimulate my mind, for example, I started a new book.
ReplyDeleteMy short-term goal was to go grocery shopping by Friday, February 19, 2010 at 12:00 pm. I did complete my goal because I went grocery shopping by that deadline. Instead of relaxing after class on Friday, I went straight to the grocery store after class.

ReplyDeleteFor me personally, I’ve spend my time wisely. Although at some point it seemed like I had less time to do some things. The majority of my time was mostly spend on studying and working. I was very surprised with the time I spend sleeping. It was less than I thought. As a result to this, I decided to make some adjustment in working less and sleeping a bit more. Sleep more was my goal for the week. And by adjusting my working time I was able to accomplish this goal. As a result of sleeping a bit more I was able to be on time in my eight o’clock class and focused.
ReplyDelete1. I found out that I socialize a bit too much and not enough on time for studying.
ReplyDelete2. Sleeping
3. I do not sleep as much and I now get more accomplished.
4. My short term goal was to apply to 5 retail jobs in the madison area by last friday
5. Yes I guess i just applied myself.
6. No i had time in one weekend to get it accomplished.
I noticed that when I didn't have to do anything important, I spent the time sleeping. I could have used the time to study since I really didn't study much. It suprised me that I was wasting so much time when I thought I was spending time doing something meaningful. I have changed my schedule quite a bit by using some of the time I spent sleeping to study and to prepare myself for my classes the following day. I also found that I earned better grades on assignments because I spent more time going over them. My short term goal was to pass my chemistry test with an "A" by monday. I did accomplish this goal by making an "A" because I put more effort into preparing for the test.
ReplyDeleteMy time management was poor. I needed alot of improvement. Studying is very important and I knew that. As of now I have been improving my study habits and my hanging out time. My short term goal was to get a job in customer service by the summer of 2010. I am still working on that because no one has called me back yet. Having a job will benefit me in alot of ways. Not only will it help me on my hanging out time it will also help me to realize with a job I will still have to have an education, so I will have to study.

ReplyDelete2. The only area that surprised me was most of my time was spent on sleep.
3. My time sheet didn’t make me adjust my day but it made me more aware of where my time was going. The time sheet didn’t make me adjust my day because my time is spread out evenly.
