Time Management Moment

Improved Essays
The most important aspect about my life that I believe needed to be changed in order for me to succeed in accomplishing my goals is my time management. For so many years I’ve struggled with being able to get to places on time. I learned that once I actually started to acknowledge and care about my bad habit was the only way I would be willing to change it. Working on my time management was hard but not nearly impossible. I had to change my outlook on certain things so that my mindset would be prepared and ready for change. I believe I was successful in working on my time management. I now find myself early to events then rather late or on time. Although I may still arrive late to events every now and then I will never discredit myself due to …show more content…
Small changes play a huge rule in accomplishing your goals because starting off small was the easiest way to prepare myself for change. I started slow by waking up thirty minutes extra to make sure I have breakfast in the morning. Breakfast is the most essential meal for the day so I felt having that nutrition will give my body the push it needs to have throughout the day. Every morning I have this bad habit of getting an extra five minutes of sleep which eventually leads to my lateness. I believe that self-control is vital to my success, I learned to use a reward strategy in order to control my bad habits. If I make it on time to school for the week then I would treat myself to something nice on the weekends. I will continue to use this same tactic in the future because it helps me keep intact when I’m deserving or something and when I’m …show more content…
You have taught me that things don’t always work on my time. It is important to get rid of bad habits so that they won’t hold me back in life. I have learned that I have a great amount of potential but in order to use it most efficiently there are some things I could perfect. You created a class where we could all be open and close with one another because we share similar habits and interest. Thank you for caring about my personal life and sharing words of wisdom that will help me carry on. I would give your class an A because you didn’t do what normal capstone classes do and I feel as if you did an outstanding

    Family: Before this class, I knew the importance of family. I have grown up in a really loving home, and we all stick together pretty closely. I love them more than anything else in my life, and I would do almost anything for them. Through this class, though, I have enjoyed reading about the different family experiences that people have told of, and it has been inspiring to me. I have also realized how much my family and I take for granted, and it makes me so much more appreciative to be with them, and to be safe.…

    To whom it may concern: This letter is to request my reinstatement to University of Maryland University College. My poor academic performance was not just a bad reflection of myself but also of what knowledge I should have been able to show I learned from taking intriguing classes.

    Managing time can be a big obstacle when you have tendency to say yes to most everything a person ask you to do for them. Saying yes has got me into trouble with managing my time and having too much on my plate. 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.…

Simple having the negative thoughts floating around in my head constantly has certainly been a dead weight holding me down.…

    Life is an everlasting journey of growth and development. In order to grow we must first admit to our faults, and stop engaging in behaviors that hinder us from becoming a better version of ourselves. Self- destructive tendencies plagues our society, and it’s easy to become discouraged by the hate and malicious behaviors inflicted on civilians from law enforcement officers. The mass media only covers half of the story, and the likelihood of the story being the truth, is slim to none. Ever since I could remember, I have always had a passion for helping others.…
