Extra time

opting to use their extra cash for nights at home with the family, watching movies and playing games-or for “Staycations” in the back yard”. Due to the necessity to watch our budgets, we are spending more time at home. People are having to discover lower cost ways to entertain themselves. We are starting to spend more quality time with our families. Consumers are starting to realize that we do not have to spend an excessive amount of money to have an enjoyable time. Family time is a wonderful…

About to end my sophomore year terrified, still in the process of figuring out what my declared major was going to be. Everyone says that you have so much time to figure out what you want to do in life or what you want to be when you grow up, but I continued to feel as if my time was just about over. I didn’t want to continue taking class not knowing if they are even going to be needed for my major. I was on a mission to figure out what the best path for me was and to do it quick. I was ready to…

The most challenging part of returning to college is creating a balance between school, work, and life. In an already busy lifestyle, making time to write papers and complete assignments will take careful planning, a strong support system, and dedication. The use of shared calendars, clear communication, and focusing on the future (Chambers, nd) will be keys to success. Shared calendars, like Google Calendar, can be a huge benefit to students and families, alike. Calendars, if linked…

them experienced at least one unplanned down time in the last 3 years. So, if we are aware that these crashes are going to occur, what is there to do about it? El Mahalli, (2015) did a study on this topic and came to a conclusion that there is no prevention and instead it is about being prepared. They recommended have 24-hour technical support for all people using the system so that if something were to go wrong, they could get the support needed at any time. This will ensure that when problems…

grades, and seek help when I need it. I hope to do this by setting aside time for my work and study no matter how busy or stressed my life may be at any given time. I will also work hard and avoid distractions. High stress is often difficult to avert, so I will find activities to help balance my life. For each class I have, I will take two hours out of my day for work involved with every one. Such as studying, homework, extra credit, or special projects. I also need to be able to challenge…

again. The big question though is did I become happier from this? Yes, and I will explain why; on the other hand, there were many flaws that affected my progress. A major issue I had in my project was managing my time. Although I had more time to spend with friends, I began to spend more time than I had, which affected other parts of my project. As for the success, most of my project work as intended. I kept myself accountable for most of the month, with only a few hiccups. Since I stuck to my…

1. I have many goals for the time I finish the MS SPM program to expand my knowledge and skill set from what I will learn from the program. I want to be well versed in product development knowledge and the process any product goes through to come to life. I want to have a full understanding of product planning and cost so I can understand all it takes to create different products. I want to know all the steps, planning, and creative input and watch it all come together to create something. I…

ASU150 has taught me that the past has no power over the present moment. The most important concepts I absorbed this semester include the power and importance of ones growth mindset, ones approach to S.T.E.P, and the significance of a balanced life. Easily one of my favorite quotes from Gina this year has to be “Do not hold onto thoughts that do not allow your mind to move forward.” I feel this quote is essential to the class because so much of our lives are created in what we think at this very…

the easy thing to do many times, and I am sure we all have gave up on something, at least once in our life. Giving up is the same thing as quitting. I was always taught to never quit anything I start, with exceptions, like a job since a time will come when all jobs will pass, whether it be retirement, promotion, or you are trying something new. The only thing I have ever gave up on in my life was a cheerleading squad when I was six. Other than that I have made an extra effort to finish…

timeliness. Acquiring new skills increased the time I spent on new tasks, and teaching others new skills and checking/redoing their work also added extra time. Knowing I would not be able to complete everything on-time, I made sure to check in with Barbara Jean about which tasks to prioritize and…
