Time is a very precious item. Managing your time to finish task is very important. Therefore, writing a list in an order helps tackle them in an affecient manner.
time management and organization skills is very important for an instructor to provide effective learning for the students
I learned about organizing tasks and setting realistic goals and timelines.
I enjoyed this module and the way it guides you through the techniques for setting yourself up to get things done. I would recommend a book to everyone titled Atomic Habits. I definitely plan to implement the techniques I learned here along with some I already know and use.
I liked the numbering system on the task and am going to use that and found ways on how to prioritize the most import.
Taking control of your time as nursing faculty is less about "finding balance" and more about intentionally deciding what deserves your attention and what doesn't.
I am definitely going to apply the numbering system on my to-do list
Totally agree, there are 24 hrs in a day. Work sufficient hours and take breaks to eat, breathe, and take care of necessary functions.
Time management is a main priority. Please keep a to-do list and readdress it weekly as you get things accomplished.
This aligns with other books I have ready like "Getting Things Done" that stresses the importance of "brain-dumping" your tasks to free up your mental energy and then prioritize the list to get it done!
I learned that writing down all of your tasks on a to do list and prioritize them is much more effective.
Time management and organization are beneficial in regard to getting these things accomplished in a timely manner with reduced stress.
Time management is very important start by making a to do list and take breaks if needed
making a list allows me to focus on the most relevant topics first and assists myself in performing tasks in a timely manner
I am already a list maker, but I tend to rewrite them often. I like the idea of highlighting things from the original list and wasting less time rewriting them.
In order to take control of our time we need to have a goof balance of immediacy and procrastination while prioritizing certain tasks rather than completing the "easier" or "simpler" tasks first.
I fall into that 95% of occasional procrastination and mostly with my private life. I have always made "to do" lists but never thought about giving them numbers regarding their importance. I will have to try this in order to increase my time management skills.
Setting realistic goals and timeframe.
