Time Management response
Current Schedule When I look back on how I spend my time I see that my current time management skills can use some improvements. Although I still seem to find some time to get my assignments done even if it means doing them late at night. After keeping record on how I use my time for a week, I see that most of my time is spent out with my friends doing unproductive activities. I think I spend a lot of time with my friends do to the fact that I rather not study or do homework during the day because it is boring and I get distracted easily.

It is a major distraction when I studying because one notification can lead to opening up social media apps and soon enough an hour goes by of me being on my phone and not studying. One thing I need to change in the future is trying to eliminate distraction even if that means turning off my phone when studying especially if it’s for a test. After living my ideal schedule this week even though it was difficult I felt like I used my time very effectively because I didn’t have to worry or stress over homework which was my big problem when recording my current
