To do list and organize and prioritize, set time limits when to get things done.
To do lists and breaking things down into smaller pieces help me to better organize my time.
I learned the importance of a to do list and how it can help with time management and being more productive.
It's amazing 15-20% of people are chronic procrastinators. This matches my lifetime of observation and 25+ years as an engineering manager.
In this module I have learned about how Immediacy can also be negative. It takes you away from the things that you have collectively set to do by putting it to the side to complete a new task.
With this module I would have to say I learned a great way to set the importance of each thing on my to do lists. I plan on trying this out this weekend with some tasks I have at home that need done.
Time management can be overwhelming if you don't break it down into smaller segments. One of the key things is to not procrastinate. Just start with one thing, after it is finished move on and the next thing you know the list is done.
In this module I learned that creating a list based on importance is key for time management.
In this module, I learned to rank task on my to-do list without rewriting my list. I often write out my tasks and then rewrite them in order of importance, which takes up more time than just highlighting them or numbering them in order of importance.
Procrastination and urgency can significantly influence effective time management. This is the first time I have come across this idea.
Comment on Linda Malone's post: Creating a to do list is a good idea to stay on top of daily, weekly and monthly tasks.
Making to-do lists is a great way to help with time management.
I plan on being more in depth with my, "To Do" list.
I plan on implementing the to do list by utilizing the importance of urgency of task.
Managing your time effectively will aid in doing more with less stress.
complete important tasks first.
I appreciate the information that I am learning about time management.
I like to create a "to-do list" all the time, but thanks to this course I am learning better ways to prioritize and organize my tasks to manage better my time.
Creating a to-do list with a numeric representation of priorities is a great way to manage time better. Normally, I fall into the category of immediacy or, if it could be procrastination, dilute a burdensome workload with other project's on behalf of others. While this does suffice, and I do manage to get things done on time, I am often constricted in the nth hour with little to no time for myself. There is this feeling of suffocation that I have a really hard time shaking and it puts a total on my mental health. However, reorganizing my tasks on paper into manageable segments would be the most obvious answer to these issues and I'll be sure to incorporate them into the coming modules.
