Activities that should be in quadrant 1 of day 1 are: Going to
class, Homework, and studying. This are very important and
urgent, however there is no enough time spent in this activities. I
spent four and a half hours in this quadrant. However, only one
and a half hour are spent doing homework and studying, which
is not enough.

Activities that should be in quadrant 2 are: Friends and going to
the gym. This are important but not urgent.

Activities that should be in quadrant 3 are: Watching the shows I
follow. This is urgent for me but it is not important.

Activities that should be in quadrant 4 are: Being on Facebook
and using the internet to search for random things. I spent 2
hours in this quadrant which is 2 hours wasted.

I am able to finish assignments in quadrant 1, which are
the most important things.
I am able to find time for friends and entertainment.
I am able to multitask whenever I can, as I did in day 2;
doing laundry and working out at the same time.
I spent enough time for myself to relax.

11. 
There is too much time spent in quadrant 4;
being on facebook, which is unnecessary and
useless.

I do not spend enough time in quadrant 1; I do
everything in a rush, because I run out of time.

I do not plan out my assignments in advance.

I escape from my responsibilities by using
facebook and searching random things on the
internet.

12. 
In conclusion, I should be more organized
with my time by making a plan each day, so I
can divide my time. Using the matrix to
prioritize the work I have. Also I should not
procrastinate, and start doing assignments
earlier to do a better work on them.
Managing my time effectively, will make my
work more effective.
