Part
Two: Time Monitoring and Management for College & Life
Directions:
There will be two parts to this portion of the assignment, Part A and Part B.
Please complete all sections on this document, as this is what you will be
submitting for your entire Topic 1 Assignment (Parts 1 and 2).
In
Part A, you begin by keeping an informal time log in which you note
all your activities for 3 days, from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.(even if your wake-up and
bedtime alter from this beginning and end time, please use this time-frame and
just place what you are doing during the hours allocated). You will use this
information for planning ways to make better use of your time.
In
Part B, you will briefly analyze the results from your time log to
determine the changes you need to make to your time schedule and how you will
manage those changes. After analyzing your data, you will construct a
reflective 200-250-word summary of your time-monitoring analysis and identify
two main discoveries you found; whether this was positive or negative
discovery. You may also wish to consider the information from chapter 4 of the textbook
as you complete your reflection, as you may wish to reference to help support
your findings.
Note: This portion of the assignment will also
help in completing the S.M.A.R.T Goals that will come in Week/Topic 5.
Part
A: Time Monitoring Activity/Worksheet
In
completing the Time Monitoring, you will need to fill out the Time Monitoring
Worksheet found below the following directions. *You may also wish to print one
to keep for easier record keeping as you track your time, and then complete the
chart here to submit with your assignment.
·
Monitor your time in hourly increments:
1. Carry
your Time Monitoring Worksheet with you whenever you are awake.
2. Each
hour of the day, starting at 5:00 a.m. and ending at 11:00 p.m., write down
what you did during that hour.
If you do not get up until 10 a.m., do you record 5:00 a.m.-9:00 a.m.? Yes, you
will just note that you were “sleeping” during those hours.
3. Do not
overdo the recording; record the primary activity for the hour.
·
On Day 4, when you have 3 days of time monitored, it is time to
analyze your time use. You will need to have your Time Monitoring Worksheet
available, as you will need this to review and reflect what you have noted, as
well as something to take notes with when analyzing your data.
·
New college students usually find that most time management
issues, fall into three main categories, so this is where you will start the
analysis. Brainstorm and organize your data into the areas noted below, and add
area(s) where you see necessary. Here are the three main areas students have
mentioned when reviewing their data and reasoning:
·
Making poor judgments about using their time wisely;
procrastination would fall under this area or not prioritizing events or tasks
wisely.
·
When stressed, becoming immobilized or shutting down mentally
and/or physically.
·
Giving less than their best efforts when rushed and overwhelmed
or when they feel like quitting.
·
Once you have fully analyzed your data, you will be ready to
begin Part B, writing your reflective summary.
