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.
Break to do lists into manageable chunks.
Quality assurance - like effective organization, requires time. I think we have reached a point of absurdity with certain positions. For example, I am supposed to run a state-wide consortium without ANY additional help when I was hired as a regional program director. No amount of lists or prioritization or "effective time management" will create feasibility when more than 24 hours are required in a day to complete required tasks. But thank you for the suggestions.
To break down "to do" list to smaller task set priority time limits so I can be more efficient.
Time is the master of everything, and if an instructor are not in control of his or her time as it relates to teaching and student learning; the instructor will not be considered to be an effective leader. Time is wasted when we do not prioritize.
Do the least appealing item on the to do list before the fun ones so that you manage your time appropriately
Break down the large tasks into sections, and tackle them one by one, and don't get overwhelmed.
I believe that procrastination is laziness and immediacy has to be controlled. When we make a ( to do list )make sure put the primary tasks at the front and the secondary tasks at the back.
I like the idea of listing a general task then breaking it down into manageable parts. The same can be done with goals. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!
To do list are a great way to keep your tasks moving forward. Prioritizing and assigning numerical values to each task will also ensure that you focus and complete the most important tasks first.
To do list and organize and prioritize, set time limits when to get things done.
To do lists and breaking things down into smaller pieces help me to better organize my time.
I learned the importance of a to do list and how it can help with time management and being more productive.
It's amazing 15-20% of people are chronic procrastinators. This matches my lifetime of observation and 25+ years as an engineering manager.
In this module I have learned about how Immediacy can also be negative. It takes you away from the things that you have collectively set to do by putting it to the side to complete a new task.
