In the arena of time management I can honestly say that I have been lacking in this area of management. Recently I have been cautious of deadlines for tasks that are due. I have in the past been pretty reliable on how I use my time to accomplish many tasks. I have to admit these skills as of recently have declined.

I have in used time management to accomplish specific goals in the workplace often facing tight deadlines for delivery. I have been tasked several times to put together an operation on as little as eight hours’ notice. This has been challenging since it seemed to always change at the drop of a hat. I have taken these skills that I have learned in time management and applied these to my professional and personal lives. 

The first area would be planning or setting as schedule. The next would be self-discipline to follow this schedule; the last would be evaluation of my time management for the day.

I plan on keeping a schedule for a period of time on the activities that I do throughout the day. I will then evaluate this schedule and look at the pros and the cons of this schedule. In essence I am doing a qualitative study in the short term on my time management. When I study this schedule I will be looking at what I can improve on in my time management. The skills that I have learned so far in the time management techniques have improved my ability to prioritize the events that I have throughout not only my work day but the week. For example this class has taught me to take advantage of the free time that I have to do assignments. I obviously did not do well on this week’s module since I have waited to complete my assignment at the wire. I have learned from these mistakes and realized that on the days that I have off from work I should focus on completing more assignments.
