Time....

Time management Gen 200 May 26, 2010 Suzy Natividad Abstract Managing my time has always been a problem for me all my life. I can’t ever seem to keep tract of things in my life or even do things on time. I’ve spoken to a lot of people that have the same troubles as I do, we all wonder why can’t be manage our time'!'! I think I finally figured it out for myself; I never actually took the steps to fix this problem. I just learned to deal with it, which of course that isn’t right. Time management Time management is not something you are born with, time management is something that takes practice and at times guidance. When time management is not handled correctly a lot of trouble comes with that. You can find yourself with too many things to do but not enough time, or you might have all the time you need but you waist it doing nothing. People tend to use their time watching TV, texting, on the phone, or just wasting your time lying down (Dawson p 15). There are certain things I need to know about myself before I can actually fix anything. I need to be aware of where I’m using or wasting my time the most. I also need to be aware of my distractions. I get very easily distracted with of course my cell phone, TV, and my friends. What I can do so that won’t affect me as much is, give “Genessie” her time before I start my work. That way I can get all the talking out of my system and I won’t get distracted once I start my work. I can also form a schedule that works for me and my needs. I feel like I cannot work if I am not happy (2008, p 2). In order to fix my time management problems I need to gather information that’s going to help me fix this problem. I can either go talk to a specialist or either get information from other associates (Morales, p 23). I can also look on line and find some valuable information to that can actually really help you. A great thing I can also use is books, I can find a book that explains to me what time management is and how I can use my time wisely (Dawson p 37). Or I can just talk to someone that can give me great advice. I can talk to someone who is older than me and has experience life more than I have, that way they can give me the reality on things and life (Wesly p 55). I’m really not a proceeds kind if girl, I don’t like to going through something step by step. That’s why I’m in this situation, like this paper I’m doing it last minute. I do work a lot but I know if I really wanted to I could have made time, even though I was tiered. But the information I got is very useful, I feel like I would use only what I know would benefit me. I really would like to make a schedule that would work for me. I get distracted so fast, I think I’m worse than a five year old. I feel like if I make a schedule that gives me breaks to call a friend for five minutes or so just to chat and get it out would help me. Before I can even make a schedule I need to pin point my problems to the dot. I know some of the problems I have, but I can really put my finger on it. I wouldn’t want to consider all the information I got, because I know for a fact that not all of it would benefit me in the future. But I would consider most of it, because I tried to look for information I would consider to start with. But like I’ve said before I would really like to make a schedule for myself. As well as figure out where I spend most of my time or where I waste my time. I have the most problem making time for my school work, so I would like to also prioritize my assignments. That way I’m not here doing my work last minute, because that makes my work sloppy. I know I’m a good writer but when I wait I rush everything, and get a negative reaction from my professors. I will actually use this information to help me. Most of the time people can give me advice and it can go in through one ear and go out through the other. But all the information I got is very useful. I want to be a very successful woman in life; I don’t want to depend on anyone to live my life. I know if I don’t fight this time management problem I won’t get anywhere in life. I’ll just be living my life pushing everything aside and leaving everything till the last minute. I don’t know anyone that really wants to work with someone like that. This assignment overall was a BIG eye opener for me in helping me how to get my life together. I know if I fix this problem of mine I can get to places that I want to be, and I can also give better work. Not only that I can achieve what I want to achieve out of life. I feel like I can’t do much if I don’t learn How to use my time wisely, but once I start managing better I will do what I want. I also feel I would feel happy with what I’ve achieved.
