1) What trends in your time management style do you notice in Part 2?

When I anticipated the Urgent x Important matrix theory, I noticed that I am an early bird when I get an assignment; I immediately identify all the tasks involved and plan my time accordingly. I am almost always in a hurry and impatient. My direct management style reflects me because I am action-oriented, making quick decisions and implementing them rapidly. I’m usually one of the first people to arrive for class or group meetings. I like putting myself ahead of time and see to that everything is organized.

I go to university for about 5 to 8 hours a day, which takes up to 27% of the day, which includes doing homework and assignments. As an international student and living by myself, I do talk to my parents every day for an hour, which also takes up to 5% of my day. I try to get everything done on weekends and be prepaid for the upcoming week. I also spend an hour a day studying, which takes another 5% of my day. I think all these things are important to keep up with everyday life. However, leaving me with only 30% of my time being spent on things that are not directly related to school. This 30% of my time is being spent on things like Facebook and other social medias.

    The experience that I went through and that I would like to share was when I played golf in the beginning of the year. I was fine managing my schedule during the first week or two of school, but then I started getting more and more homework as the weeks went on. I had a hard time keeping up with my school work and playing golf. I practiced every day after school and I didn’t really have any time after school to do my homework. Playing golf took up basically all of my time because I played it 5-7 days a week between practicing with the school team or practicing with my golf instructor/coach.…

The Team Management style is based on tasks and relationships. I consider myself more tasks orientated and analytical, while spending less time with my subordinates’ personal issues.…

    As I was making my Ecomap I came to realize that my priorities are not completely met and that I might need to change my routine in order to feel satisfied with the goals I want to accomplish in life. As I look at my elements I see that I am focusing my energy mainly in school, which is acceptable since this will help me fulfill my goals of having a successful career one day. School is a positive energy and it brings me satisfaction when I finish a term with a good grade, but at the same time it can be depleting. I have to focus and give most of my time to school in order to fulfill my goal and receive good grades. School is a lot of dedication and at times I have to sacrifice other activities (such as family time, gym, friends) in order…
