Time Management!!

          Wow this week was a definite test of my time management skills.  Or should I say the lack of these skills.  I know what is said about academic use of Wikipedia but it defines time management as “the act or process of planning and exercising conscious control over the amount of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency or productivity.” I am fully aware that the poor time management is directly related to my other responsibilities either for family, work, or extracurricular activities. 

Last Thursday we had a snafu with our class door.  The battery had died in the access control system (also known as an electronic door handle) so class was cancelled.  I should have used this time off more wisely instead of procrastinating.  But I settled for the latter.  And as a result, I waited to complete the twelve quizzes and the remaining 24 writing assignments until the last possible moment.  WOW! That was not fun at all.  I completed the quizzes and writing assignments with time to spare.  However, I felt rushed all day.  Shhh…don’t tell but I even completed several of the written assignments at work. Well nit several but all the writing assignments.  Needless to say I will be brushing up on and modifying my time management skills before I attempt to utilize them again.
