Time management, procrastination, immediacy, urgency, priorities, “to-do-lists,” can make anyone insecure. To someone that procrastinates time management of any kind is the equivalent of immediacy or urgency. People who are “on-fire” all the time have a sense of insecurity about them that can stem from any number of pent-up social abnormalities. My professional and vocational existence began long before email, text messaging and social media. Each of these forms of communication are immediate and can alter priorities with little or no notice. These never ending streams of data are generally distractions. That being considered, it is imperative that the priorities of instructors and teachers be aligned with students and how their day-to-day functionality and accomplishments are managed consistent with administrative efforts, so they are whole. After all, the priority here should be the student – period. Who is bringing in pizza for Scooter’s birthday tomorrow or what if textbooks need to be ordered for a class two weeks from now are subordinate to what is going on today.
It is very important to prioritize your time.
The module was a review for me as I already used those techniques. What I will incorporate is the numbering system of importance.
Prioritizing task is essential for promoting time management and keeping on schedule.
I enjoyed that this module enforced the importance of task prioritization. Task prioritization is vital for the success of not only us, the educators, but also the students. Task prioritization helps create good time management skills, which increases productivity, reduces stress, and helps to meet deadlines. Effective task prioritizations help us and our students become more organized, responsible, and successful in academic and personal endeavors. I typically schedule three months at a time for both school and personal.
I learned about immediacy is ineffective when it comes to time management.
for time management, I learned how to set a limit on completing the task and also priotizing the task
I have learned the longer you procrastinate, the more stress is involved around the task.
Plan every day, prioritize.
One must make a list everyday and assess priorities.
I learned that you can improve your time management by making a to do list and numbering the items in the order of importance.
This module showed me that even immediacy can negatively impact my time management.
I pretty much make lists all the time. I could learn to prioritize better. I like the idea of looking at the consequences to do so.
Make use of lists from the most urgent to least task will help manage time and insure completion for dead lines.
Comment on Shane Apperley's post: What kind of limits do you make?
make a list with priority
I frequently make To Do lists for myself. I have never stopped to prioritize the items on the list. I think this will help me avoid the emergent situations that arise when I don't prioritize the correct things. I also like the idea of checking up on others by making a separate list for their responsibilities.
In this module I've learnd to priorized tasks. You can do that starting with a To Do list and putting numbers or if its recurrent will help you.
Comment on Cherie Wink's post: definitely, must prioritize, once it is lay out on paper like a map you now have a complete landscape view so you can see how it can be down.
