My Time Management Plan

Great Essays
There are many things that need to be done and while some things can be done in my own time, some things also have a deadline. I have made a time-management plan that displays how I will manage my time while taking this course, as well as courses to come. When listing my primacies in order of importance, I found that there is more going on in my life than I realized. I have always felt as if there was nothing there for me, but now I have my daughter, my fiance, as well as school, and things can get hectic. Never have I thought of constructing a plan that shows what needs to be done first down to what can be done later. After reviewing this week 's units, I have written a list of my priorities as well as a time-management plan that gives an explanation of how my time will be used while furthering my education. In my list of priorities, my first priority is myself. To some, this may sound selfish, but looking after my own well-being helps all the other areas of my life fall into balance, and making myself happy does not need to be extravagant. Occasionally, I just need a couple of minutes to myself to relax and free my mind, especially when I am stressed out. I make sure I take care of myself mentally, physically, spiritually, intellectually, …show more content…
Without my education, I will not be able to give my daughter the life she deserves. I want her to have the life that I have always dreamed of having. If I had a job, that would be my next priority. Considering I have a two-month-old baby and school, I barely find time to clean the house, which is my next priority. While my family and my education are my top two priorities, housework is my next top priority. I am an extremely organized person and like to keep things clean. However, there are several times where I have found myself with no time left to clean. Between caring for my daughter and my classwork, it is hard for me to find time to do

    Time management is always something that I’ve had trouble with; I either save all of the tasks I have to get done until the very last minute, or I work on too many tasks at once, which pushes the time I take to complete everything back even farther. Even though I have gotten to where I am now with these less-than-average time management skills, these skills will not fly once I am out of college and flung into the working world. Whether I am working under an independent company or attempting to start my own business, nothing important will get done when needed, and I will just be creating more and more stress for myself. And, given that I have had struggles with anxiety, this is not a great picture that I am painting. So, time management is an important thing for me to better myself…

    In the first quote, it mainly discusses about how Honors students have trouble discussing and answering questions out loud because we are afraid of saying something wrong or different. I can say that this quote is absolutely true. There are countless times that I feel like I know an answer to a question or I feel like I can contribute something to a discussion, but I am too scared about what other people would think about my answer. I think that Honors students generally are afraid of this because we are worried about saying something wrong. By improving on this fear, I think that in general, people would be less afraid of speaking up in front of the class or contributing to a class discussion because people will be more comfortable about…

    I personally feel I was not effective in correctly managing my time, because for every assignment I was rushing on finishing last minute. I was the typical graduate student that stayed late working on homework; unfortunately, that was something that I had told myself I was not going to do but I did it. Therefore next semester I will be taking on different measures to ensure that I can manage my time adequately, and not having to be the stereotypical graduate student depriving of sleep. The measure I will be taking for next semester is to start assignment early and get them review by peers or the writing center at school…
