So What? (Time Management as it Relates to Me)
1. So what is my “Time Consciousness” in each of the areas above? (200 words max)
Answer:
Time consciousness is how you are aware of your time usage. Another way of saying
Time consciousness is to stay alert and informed of your time. With a better time consciousness,
you will be able to stay informed with your time, the ability of prioritizing urgent tasks, which
requires your immediate attention as in comparison to important tasks. By understanding the fact
that you are the only person who is controlling your own time, you must figure out how you should
prioritize your time, listing all the tasks from the most important to the least, so you can have a
thorough outline on how you will stay alert on the tasks that are the most urgent. Have an
organized thought so you will have a clear process on which task you will follow so you can avoid
going off track.
