Time Zappers
My List of Five Top Time Zappers
1. Homework
2. Gambling
3. Watching TV
4. Smoking Cigarettes
5. Wasting time
Time Zappers I would prefer to do the things I really enjoy rather than the things that are important. I sometimes use these things to make excuses for not the things that I should be doing. I tend to give more importance to these things at any given time of the day, it makes prioritizing these activities that much harder. I always believed doing the easy tasks first and getting them done then proceeding to complete the harder tasks last. My problem is I get easily distracted with my zappers. Having taking this GS 1145 class has shown me how to reconstruct and use my time wisely. By using a To Do List will help improve me with using my time wisely. This will motivate me to list my easy and hard things to do so I can complete in a timely manner. In contrast with the Self-Assessment, I consider myself to be more of a morning person, so getting started on these tasks soon after I wake every morning would ensure successful completion. Also limiting contact with others while working on these tasks would eliminate the temptation to enjoy my zappers. I also need to set aside certain days of the week to complete these tasks as well. Now that I have a plan, I plan to implement it a soon as possible in hopes that my school work gets done and still have time for my zappers.

    Attack Your Day" by Mark Woods was a good workbook exercise that will help me to be more productive in my life. The book was just not for me going to college but it had something for a walks of life whether you are a business executive, homemaker, educator, pastor, employee, self-employed, student, or whatever, there is something in the book that will benefit you. This book open my eye to a lot of different technical and skills that I was lacking in my day to day activity. Some of the things that I will take from the book are a key part of choosing activities is refusing activities - learn to say no!, 6 types of "time buckets" we can use to better utilize our time, multi-tasking is overrated (I say AMEN to that!) and is really only useful when doing mindless activities (opening mail while listening to the radio, for example), and instead, try alternate tasking(be 100% engaged in what you are doing at the moment). It is easy…

    My plan of action is to submit assignments in a timely manner, excel as a student, gain new knowledge that I will utilize as a business owner, and earn a graduate degree in Business. To help achieve my goals, I manage my time wisely, by creating weekly schedules with blocked times that are designated for studying, posting to Discussion Boards, checking emails, and working on assignments. My schedules are created with Google Calendar, because I can synch it with my cell phone. This allows me to set notification reminders that help me focus and keep track of the time I set to accomplish goals.…

    When I have a load of work to do, I manage my time efficiently by sitting down, playing music, with no distractions, and get work done before the assignment’s due date. As soon as I receive a task, whether it be due in a month or the next week, I write it down in my planner, phone, and computer to remind myself to complete my homework. Procrastination is never a problem for me since I plan ahead and stay organized. This allows me to have free time on my weekends, relax from school, and not have to worry much about homework or studying. I’m not employed therefore I have plenty of free time to think about my assignments and give my best effort. Col 101 has taught me how to set my priorities and inspire myself to work hard by adding a treat of some sort to our study time. Listening to this advice helped me find enjoyment in studying for long periods and avoiding struggle or falling behind in my…

    1. Make to do lists. This is something that I already do to a degree in my personal life, but not as often as I should. I plan on implementing this to help me achieve my educational goals. Lists help organize things by importance and act as a reminder to finish tasks I might leave behind. Personally when I complete tasks on my lists I feel a sense of accomplishment and have more desire to tackle some of the harder tasks on my list. I will begin to implement this time management skill with this class, and carry it over to block 2 through Gateway Community College.…

    According to the University of Michigan, one of these skills is time management. Because I have several classes and projects, homeworks, etc. within all those classes, creating an organized calendar and schedule is vital. However, it is important to know the schedule must be realistic and include other activities besides studying and working on homework. For example, composing a schedule solely of school responsibilities will overwhelm and stress me further. This would happen because of my inability to meet my goals. Hence, adding breaks and time for other activities, such as sports, will…

    When given the assignment of choosing a behavior of mine that I thought I needed to change, I had to really think hard about it. At first, I thought about doing the obvious of changing my eating and exercise habits. However, that week I had just gotten the results of my anatomy exam, and after seeing the grade I got I knew something had to change. This is when I decided to choose to change the way I look at my school work. For that reason, I chose to focus on my study habits by choosing the behavior of procrastination. I choose this behavior of procrastination because since starting my freshman year of college, I had struggled with getting into the routine of spending time on each subject daily. I had found that my old habits of waiting…
