4. After analyzing my time I realized that I balance the urgent and important with the not urgent and not important. The activities in Quadrant 2 only apply for this week due to midterms. Therefore, I spend most of my time in Quadrants 1 & 4. The fact that the hours of quadrant 1 and 4 could add up to a whole day potentially makes me realize that these are the 2 Quadrants I take the time to consider throughout the day. If I continue to use my time this way, I feel I could reach my goals and dreams. I never want to be consumed by work and school to the point where I lose out on my fun of what life could bring me. In fact, I don’t feel it is the right time to take purposeful actions such as towards my career at this point. I have to feel I can manage my time with school and jump starting internships and jobs towards my career and even clubs before I can take purposeful actions. But, at the time I am at now I feel the best thing to do would be to focus on how much time I would need to have to greatly apply effort in school and then broaden myself with the opportunities Baruch has to offer.

Journal Entry 13
A) 15 actions that I have taken in the past two days are:
1) Went out to the parade
2) Hang out with friends
3) Went to a restaurant
4) Started talking to an old friend
5) I cleaned my house
6) I changed the clocks in my house
7) I did homework
8) I slept
9) I ate
10) I checked my social media
11) I went to a party
12) I showered
13) I made breakfast
14) I made some errands for my mother\
15) I took out the garbage

B+C) Quadrant I (Important and urgent)- I studied (2 hrs), did homework (2 hrs), sleeping (8 hours), showering (30 mins), running errands for my mother (15 mins),
Quadrant II (Important and not urgent)- Doing homework that’s due in a week (1hr), cleaned my house (45 mins), eating (30-45 mins), making breakfast (20 mins), took out the garbage (less than 5 mins)
Quadrant III (Not important and urgent)- Checking my social media every hour, went to the parade (2 hrs), went to party (4 hrs),
Quadrant IV (Not important and not urgent)- Watching T.V for hours (3 hrs), went to a restaurant (2hrs), talked to an old friend (hours after hours),

D) After analyzing my time, I discovered that I can do more important things than waist my time on not so necessary things such as hanging out with friends as much and on the phone. I spend more time on important and not urgent (quadrant II) and important and urgent (quadrant I). Some specific evidence that I used to draw this conclusion is the amount of things and hours that is spent in that specific quadrant. I need to reevaluate where I spend more of my time then once I do, I do believe I will reach my goal. I would friends and distractions keep me away from taking purposeful actions. I feel that my discoveries will help me throughout my year, knowing which quadrant I need to work will help me in the long run.

well, bla bla
