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 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
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.
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:
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.
I've always been a big fan of to do lists. They're my tried and true, go to method for organizing tasks. I've definitely run into task insecurity before, specifically becoming overwhelmed with a large number of tasks. The reprioritization was something I hadn't considered much in the past, so it's something I'd like to incorporate more when managing my time!
Learning to have a balance in everything! Procrastination is a common weakness of each person. But Immediacy can also be one flaw that can lead to burnout and stress. Prioritizing and classifying your to-do-list will give balance and lead to good time management and less stressful situations.
I've always enjoyed using to-do lists, but have found it difficult to prioritize between school, pt job, and ft job. I think using a sense of consequence and urgency, tied with research into the best free to-do list apps, could help me prioritize and keep regular updates on my to-do lists.
I like the idea of prioritizing my tasks in my to do list and updating that task list the same day of the week every week.
