Journal Entry 13

Several actions that I have taken in the past two days are:

  • I did my homework
  • Studied for midterms
  • Watched You tube videos
  • I ate
  • I showered
  • I went to the bank
  • I went to a shoe store
  • I helped my brother with his homework
  • Changed the clocks in my house
  • I Did my laundry
  • I slept
  • I cleaned my room
  • I bought tickets to a concert
  • I went to visit my aunt
  • I was active on social media

 

B+C) *Quadrant I (Important and urgent)- I studied for midterms (2 hrs), did my homework (2 hrs), sleeping (8 hours), showering (30 mins), doing my laundry (2 hrs), changing clocks in my house (5 min)

 

*Quadrant II (Important and not urgent)- Working on Homework (essays) that are due in further weeks (1hr), cleaning my room (90 mins), eating (35 mins), going to the bank (30 mins), helping brother with Homework (20 min), visiting my aunt (4 hrs)

 

*Quadrant III (Not important and urgent)- Checking my social media every few hours,

 

*Quadrant IV (Not important and not urgent)- Watching YouTube Video’s several times a day during Homework breaks, going to the shoe store (1 hr), buying tickets to a concert (5 min)

 

  1. D) After looking back and reflecting on the decisions I made on how I spent my time these past two days, I realize that for the most part I in fact do try my best to get things done. Of course, I also made myself become aware that there are still many things I can do to improve my time management skills. I understand that by removing many of the things I did, especially items belonging to Quadrant III & IV, I would be making it easier for myself by creating more time+ opportunity in getting my school work done. For the most part, I believe that I did an okay job in balancing out the Urgent/non-urgent things . However, I still want to improve, since  I am always feeling like I don’t have enough time to do everything I want to get done. From here on, I will try to be more self conscious of how I spend my time, especially when having important assignments due. I am sure that this will result in great improvements regarding my work ethics.
