Some of the material helped me from the book “Becoming a Master Student”. One was to “schedule for flexibility and fun”, my family is important to me and one of my top priorities to make sure I have time for. I need to make a schedule that has specific times like when doing my house cleaning and other small things like that so I will not get behind on stuff and will have as much extra time as I have with family and school. Another thing that I got out of this book was “Find a long-term planner, or make your own” and this also go’s with “Include nonacademic events” so that I have an idea with looking at the planner when I can make plans. This will help me in the future to be able to do what I need to do and to also have time for what I am wanting to do. Lastly the other thing that help me was “How did I waste my time”, I knew that I had been wasting my time after looking at my 7 day log. I just figured out that I needed to work on how I was needing to spend my time. These were some of the material that helped me with figuring out how to manage my time

But, I think that if I make a list of priorities, make an action plan according to my priorities, and having an accountability partner can help the obstacle of time management become less. One other obstacle I see in the future is not volunteering and making my brand known. A solution to this would be updating my resume with volunteer work and find those people that can help get connections within my community.…
