10-31. MESSAGE STRATEGIES: ANALYTICAL REPORTS

[LO-6] No doubt you have learned the importance of time management in trying to complete your studies and perhaps work part-time. It is not easy to juggle classes, work obligations, and family or personal commitments and still have time for health and exercise. You have found it so challenging, in fact, that you signed up for some free counselling sessions on time management. The counsellor has asked you to keep a record of how you use your time over the course of one week.

“Design a table that you can use to record your time,” she said.

“Record what you do in 15-minute increments for 7 days (24-

hour periods); then at the end of the week, you can analyze your use of time.” At first you thought it would be tedious, but soon you get into it and record everything you do in a week.
