Time Management Term Calendar with Instructions for Reflection
Time Management Term Calendar with Reflection Instructions
Once you have completed the Time Management: Lists activity in your textbook’s time management chapter, you are ready to begin this assignment. (Do not begin this assignment until you have completed that activity, as you will need it to do this work.) Complete the 2-month calendar provided in this document. Begin by filling in the days/dates that apply to the term of this course. Then put in routine activities in your life. This must include work, family, and church activities. Schedule in everything that you know is happening in your life during this course. Is there a wedding, family reunion, weekend trip, church supper, team sporting event, concert, movie, charity work, etc. that you will be engaged in? If so, add it to the calendar. The calendar cells will expand to accommodate your entries. Once you have added all those activities, write in the course assignments, based on the deadline for each. Use red font (ink) to show your course assignments.
Now that you have completed your calendar, review it carefully, and consider the following questions in an honest assessment of your time.
1. Are your days/weekends full?
2. Are you surprised at how little time is left once all your commitments are included?
3. How can you plan time for school activities, given what you know of the commitments you have in the months of this course?
4. Is school just “one more thing” in your schedule, or have you given thought to minimizing or eliminating other commitments while you are working towards your degree?
5. Is there any “me time” in your schedule as it appears now?
6. Are there any non-negotiable events in your calendar, or are you free to rearrange it to accommodate your educational pursuits?
Your responses to the above 6 questions must be included in a single paragraph of at least 100 words. Save this document (containing both your 8-module/week calendar and your honest assessment) as a Word file (.docx or
