TIME MANAGEMENT
FOR 110
One of the most important self-management skills involves controlling and budgeting your
time. Gaining control of your time and your life involves identifying time wasters and
determining your peak energy level. Managing time also involves identifying goals, setting
priorities, and creating an action plan. Determining what tasks should be done first and
overcoming procrastination are major factors in creating success. All these steps and issues
involve critical thinking skills. Use critical thinking to answer these questions. You will
need to use resource materials such as the Internet and the library to answer some of the
questions. Justify and support your answers. Please write in complete sentences unless
otherwise instructed. Some of the questions (there are 18) have multiple parts. Be sure to
answer all parts. Note: Make sure you have read the online lecture in the course site before
attempting this assignment.
1. What are the major activities and tasks that take up most of your time?
Work
School
2. What activities or things cause you to waste time?
Television
Time out for myself
Online Surfing
3. What activities can you eliminate or reduce in order to create more time, especially for
online college work?
I could reduce or eliminate all together the time I allow myself to watch television, in
which I already took the TV out of my room where I do all work and school work. This
has reduced the time it takes to complete a task already.
4. Define Circadian Rhythm. When is your high-energy time? What activities are you
completing during this high-energy time?
Circadian Rhythm is a metabolic or behavior pattern that repeats in cycles of about every
24 hours. It is a rhythm that spans about a twenty-four-hour day, such as that of the
sleep-waking cycle. Circadian rhythms in humans originate from a clock circuit in the
hypothalamus that is set by information from the optic nerve about whether it is day or
night. My high-energy time is usually
around 12:00 PM til about 7:00 PM. I am always either working or at school at this time
range during the week, but I have noticed on the weekends I really do not have a set
high-energy level it just comes and goes. Now is that because we as humans set our
high-energy levels to trigger due to our environmental needs? What are your thoughts on
that Greg?
5. When do you study? Where do you study? Is any study time during your high-energy
period as defined by Circadian Rhythm?
