We fall in love with the end result, such as wanting flat stomach or abs yet we don't want to go to the gym. What | learned about time management is that's its necessary. It isn't fun or exciting all the time, but it's what destiny says | have to do if | want to reach success. There won't be any cutting corners, lazy attitudes, and most of all wasted time. How | spend my time Tues to Tues is something | control. This is the time period in which | have to check for assignments and post for discussions. | spend too much time working that | have decided cut back on the amount of overtime | work twice a week. This will impact me financially but help me academically. Working for Lyft means | have to be on time for my customers and get them to their destination safely on time as well. Time management is all around us and impacts so many things. Robert Oshea . 22 hours ago, at 10:11 PM NEW When it comes to managing time, | would like to believe that i have things under control when in reality i could do a whole lot better. Having a six-month-old daughter A full time job and now in school | find myself forgetting to do things | plan to do during the day and realizing it at the end of the day. | find that my daughters need come before even the most important things | plan throughout my days and weeks. | do realize that | need to set time aside everyday whether its 20 or 30 minutes to log on and at least start an assignment. Sometimes | catch myself on Facebook or TikTok or playing a video game and | tell myself it will only be for a few minutes then minutes turn into hours and before | know it, its midnight. | definitely need to prioritize the things that mean the most to me. Taking what I've gotten from chapter 3 of my book, going forward | will start by setting aside time every day to login and get something done in class. | will set reminders on my phone and alarms to remind me to log in and get my work done. I will also set time aside daily to decompress and relax so the stress of day-to-day life doesn't shut me down like it has in the past. Since starting school I've found myself a little more stressed out than normal even after setting little goals throughout the week. Getting a good night sleep and eating healthier will definitely help me better manage my time. With the skills I've learned over these past few weeks | will no doubt manage my time better going forward and reach those little, short-term goals that will eventually help me to achieve my long-term goal of graduating and getting my degree, Last week, we talked about using past experiences, current thoughts, and future goals to beat challenges at school and work.
