I need to start doing a to do list and prioritize these tasks to improve my time management.
Making a to do list helps with time management.
Growing up in a military household, I was taught time management from a very young age.
I learned that a "to-do list" has to be organized, too. Procrastination will cause more issues with time management.
To do lists helps to stay organized. I really like assigning "important/urgent" or "important/not urgent" etc to tasks so I can prioritize them.
I've learned the importance of time management, and the best way to create and utilize a to do list for maximum benefits.
Staying organized is most critical when lowering an Instructor's stress level. The "to do list" sounds time consuming but in the end keeping track of your thoughts is very important. At times we tend to forget what needs to be done.
Learned that more smaller items on the to-do list are better than just a couple large items that really require a bunch of time instead break the list down to each task and make sure you allot more time then you think it will actually take. Then just chip away at your list item by item and it will keep you from missing anything.
a to do list can be very helpful in organizing the order of how you want to prioritize your time management. keeps things more on track and less flustered and all over the place
I have been in my industry for 35 years and had to learn the hard way about time management. I have been using flashcards as long as I remember. This has helped me more than I could state here. Writing down all of the tasks that I need to complete, helps me organize these tasks and assign them a priority. This also helps with the stress level that I may feel when looking at all that I have on my plate.
I was aware that procrastinating had a negative impact on time management but It was very interesting to know from this module that immediacy could also be detrimental in managing time effectively.
