Time management

What is time management? Time management is when you schedule your time sparingly to make sure your not wasting your days away. I am not very good at time management and often find myself wasting my days away watching movies and surfing on my phone.  By managing time think about all of the extra time you could save! You might even be able to go to bed early! I am going to start planning out my time more precisily and I challenge you to do so too!! (:

- I used to have a planner to plan my time but that didn't work very well for me.  Right now I am just relying heavily on my memory and try to plan in my head the things I need to do.  Everyday during school I usually get out a piece of paper and write down all the things I need to get done.  I do this especially when I have a long week or weekend ahead of me. Writing things down really helps me stay on task and accomplish what needs to be done.

Today in my leadership class we talked about the "rocks" and "sand" we have in our lives.  Below I have listed some of those things that apply in my life. 

Rocks-

Work

Shopping

School

Family time

Homework 

Sand-

Hanging out with my friends

Mini vacations

Sports

Distractions-

Cell phone

Instagram

Netflix

Facebook

I am going to start using a planner to plan out my events and use my time more wisely.  I have tried using a planner in the past and it has worked before so I need to get back on it! 

Group Working

Working in a group requires many group decisions.  A personal experience that I have with working in a group is our parlimentary procedure team had to decide how important competition was and how many days a week we would practice to prepare. We all thought about this decision and how it would affect us as a team. We had decided to practice two times a week and we ended up placing very well.

This means war!

This lady decided to take a work to make a decision and try it out. Something making a decision takes time and you don't have to do it right then on the spot.
