10. Efficient Time Management
In regards to the Rules for Effective Time
Management, I found that I followed many rules.
Rule 13 : Set deadlines
I set up certain times for a deadline to ensure that I have
completed the assignment. This helps me so I don’t have to
cram and doesn’t let me procrastinate.
Rule 2 : Making a list of daily tasks
Before starting everyday, I make a list of what needs to be
completed throughout the day. This will insure that I stay
organized.
11. Inefficient Time Management
In regards to the Rules for Effective Time
Management, I found that I didn’t follow some of the
rules.
Rule 16 : Reach closure on at least one thing every day
One bad habit of mine is that I start many different projects
but never finish them. This leads to wasted time.
Rule 11 : Do not Procrastinate
This is a bad habit of mine and gets myself in situations that I
do not want to be in.
12. Conclusion
What the time management has taught me:
To take advantage of higher priority tasks
Do not procrastinate
Stop spending time on not important tasks
Completing the work when it is originally assigned to get it
out of the way before the next assignment is due
