Sara and Shannon are friends, but they run their lives very differently:

Sara starts dinner at $6,$ finishes at $6$:$30,$ and washes the dishes at $8.$ She walks the dog at $8$:$30$ and arranges to run some errands the next morning at $9,$ while organizing her schedule that evening. She answers emails immediately in the morning and responds to phone calls at a set point in the day, when each of her prescheduled tasks has been completed in an orderly fashion.

Shannon washes the dishes while cooking, walks the dog while running errands, loosely arranges her schedule while answering emails, takes phone calls while finishing up her daily tasks. She doesn't have a set schedule defined by time. She simply has a to$-$do list, and things will get done as they do$.$

In light of what you now know, what do you think contributes to these sharp differences between Sara and Shannon?

IMPORTANT NOTE: Critical thinking is central to the writing assignments in this course, which means you are encouraged to develop your own understandings, interpretations, analysis, and arguments in response to the prompts you are given. Furthermore, a successful submission is one that establishes connections between the content delivered in the modules' readings and videos $($including specific examples$)$ with the scenarios presented $-$ as well as with your own perspectives and experiences in support of your thoughts, comments, and conclusions.
