Time management is a process of understanding what we do with our time now, identifying what needs to be done, making up a schedule, following it and evaluating how we are doing and revising our schedule. This can be dome by following TIME. |

| Guided Practice | |
|
Time recorded and monitored.
1. To plan to spend time effectively we need to know how we use our time now, we need to record our time use using the 'Time Use Chart' for a week. Print it now. 2. At the end of the week, do the 'Activity Summary' to understand where your time-hours are being spent. 3. Later, you will be asked to BUDGET your time by analyzing your present expenditures and then develop an appropriate budget. Identify what you need & want to accomplish to help you to develop a 'Planned Schedule' 1. As you fill in your 'Time Use Chart' notice where you spent your time. When you fill in the 'Activity Summary', use the categories listed or add your own. 2. Now think how you want to spend your time. Some items need time devoted to them, for instance; sleep. class time, etc. Make up a schedule 1. Place fixed time activities (classes, meals, sleep, etc.) in the 'Planned Schedule' 2. Create priorities for the time that is left beyond the fixed schedule activities 3. Some ideas to consider when building your schedule: -- Decide when you are most alert and use that time for studying. -- Have realistic goals for amount of studying to done per day or week. -- Break larger projects into smaller chunks, each to be scheduled to finish on time -- Have boring and difficult tasks first Evaluate how you are doing compared to your schedule 1. After you have created your 'Planned Schedule', follow it. 2. Highlight in one color when you are following the plan and in another color times when you are doing something different. 3. For the next week adjust your plan and continue the process to use your time effectively. |
