It is very important to prioritize your tasks and and look at your lists daily then follow up with each of your tasks. Time management is definately something that I can improve on.
Time management is an outmost importance.
I am definitely an "immediacy" type of instructor and I do see that this can impede my productivity. I have never seen this named before and I appreciate the opportunity to reflect on why I feel this sense of urgency and how I can improve my time management skills in ways that will allow me to be more efficient.
In this module, I have learned the importance of setting limits on completing tasks that are of low importance. I also learned that I really need to prioritize those that are of high importance. It is important to check that I don't over-emphasizing the importance of the easier tasks when making my to do list.
I think the point that resonated with me the most is that I am in control of my time. It sounds simple, but sometimes there are so many things that need to be accomplished I feel overwhelmed and like I've failed if I don't accomplish everything. List-making also helps. I need to incorporate making a daily list and weekly list into my routine.
I have lesrned that procrastination is not a good habit, but also immediacy can cause stress.So it is best to prioritize your tasks.
I like the the to do like. I have a large calendar that I use as my list.
I know setting limits for yourself is important just as important prioritizing, and time management.
I have learned, and will apply making lists for tasks. in accordance to their importance. I think it can only keep you more organized. thus reducing stress levels
I've learned how immediacy can truly negatively impact my time management!!
A good instructor is aware of giving the students the best use of time.
So far I have learned about prioritizing tasks and making lists. I actually love making lists and I think that is what keeps me productive.
This module explains the importance of making a "To Do" list, then breaking it down and priortizing the list so that tasks are less intimidating and in the order which they need to be completed
I realized that I already make good prioritized lists of my tasks. I just need to get better at not thinking that everything has to be completed in one day. I need to be happy with what was accomplished on that day and leave the rest of the tasks for the days they are assigned.
Prioritizing tasks using numbers- go from most important to least
How to better prioritize my time. Make tht list
Like they say in the real estate market...........location, location, location.............. except here I think it is prioritize, prioritize, prioritize!
I am very glad to have started this course. I am able not only to confirm some of my regular habits but more importantly to identify some other perspectives, tips and techniques that are going to facilitate the way I am used to be organized.
In fact, I learned myself long time ago how important it is to write a prioritise do list to be effective and make a better use of the time available.
To me, this is a must for every organized person, but it is undocubtedly paramount to become an efficient instructor.
I am definitely a to do list person. This module provided me some additional insight in how I can fine tune my to do list process to be more efficient.
This was more of a review than anything for me, but it was a great review.
Taking control of your time:
There are certain obstacles in taking control of ones time. Here are some:
- Control, be sure to over budget for time on a task, show up on time for meetings & such.
- Procrastination, Complete it now !!!! 95% of people procrastinate, 15% to 20% are chronic.
- Immediacy, Be careful with this one, 40% of the workforce struggles with this one. It can be self defeating, makes you tired & allows for more mistakes. You need to prioritize & pace youself.
- Insecurity, it is based on fear of not completing, or of what admin, or others will think. A messy desk is a sign of this, as it shows that a person is looking to “look” busy. Organizing ones desk, & making piles & a master list is best. I do this well now.
A to do list is a good start to getting organized. I do this very well now, so I will not list what I will be doing, as I do it very well now, thru prioritizing, & updating lists one a week or more if needed.
