Creating a to-do list with a numeric representation of priorities is a great way to manage time better. Normally, I fall into the category of immediacy or, if it could be procrastination, dilute a burdensome workload with other project's on behalf of others. While this does suffice, and I do manage to get things done on time, I am often constricted in the nth hour with little to no time for myself. There is this feeling of suffocation that I have a really hard time shaking and it puts a total on my mental health. However, reorganizing my tasks on paper into manageable segments would be the most obvious answer to these issues and I'll be sure to incorporate them into the coming modules.
To-do lists can be very helpful time management tools.
I have always used a to do list when I was a practicing nurse at the bedside, now I can see how to use them in the classroom.
I learned that I should take a break if I'm tired & pick up with the task after I'm refreshed so I'm more efficient.
Make a list of things you need/want to accomplish, by order of importance. It will help you stay organized, complete the necessary tasks in a timely fashion and feel less stressed because you can easily see what you've accomplished and what needs to still be completed.
I like the idea of making to-do lists and how to properly organize them for time management purposes.
You are in control of your time, even when it can feel like students, coworkers, and/or administration are.
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.
