  1. Time management has helped me out tremendously... as far as getting things done in a timely manner, it has really worked out. It has also help me accomplished some of my short-term goals, which was getting my homework assignments in on time and getting to every class. It has also helped me realize some things about myself..i sleep entirely too much.

  2. Over the three week time period that I was managing my time I discovered that I spent entirely too much time socializing and sleeping. However, I recognized that I have a daily routine without even planning or noticing it. My short-term goal was to join a male organization here on campus so I can get involved and build my network. Well, I did accomplish my goal and all my hard work paid off. Trying to accomplish this goal affected my time management because it added more socializing time to my schedule with all the meetings, informationals, and interviews. Being so, it put me behind on my study time for all my classes, but I managed to see my way to the end. (Shaquille Standifer)

  3. The time managment project opened my eyes to the amount of time I spent on activities of low importance. After seeing on paper how I managed my days, it became easy for me to better prioritize my time. My short term goal was to turn in and all my homework and study for test and quizes and after the first week of the project, I found better ways to study and complete my homework.

  4. Throughout the past couple of weeks I spent working and evaluating my time management project, I've noticed how much time I spend on recreational activities as opposed to studying and doing class work. At once I told myself this has to change. As days progressed I found myself reading more and spending more time in the library studying. I can confidently say that my short term goal has been accomplished thanks to the time management project. Furthermore, I will continue to do such every week to seek full accomplishment.

  5. I really appreciate the time management project because it awakened me to the anount of time I spend socializing rather than studying. Actually, my short term goal was to write a paper that was due earlier this week. I did complete the essay. I had to adjust my schedule to fit in writing the paper. As a result of using the time management shcedule, i will continue to use it in the future.

  6. Over the past three weeks, I have realized that i sleep a lot, and do not eat enough through out the day. One day I slept for 14 hours. I am also on Faacebook a lot. I have also realized that actually I have enough time to go to class, complete my homework and study before I do anything else. As far as my short term goals, I did accomplish them. The first week, it was to make sure I washed. The second week was to make sure I finished all my homework for all my classes by friday night around 7pm. The third week it was to have my english paper done by Wed. instead of waiting until the last minute.I really enjoyed being able to see how I spent my time.

  7. Over the last three weeks of the time management project I realized I was sleeping and relaxing alot. My goal was to find time to go to the library and study and I believe that happened only once. I believe I didn'y do well with this because after a day of class or hall meetings I found it easier to study or do homework in my room instead of going to the library. All didn;t fail though because I did do the studying part but just not in the library,

  8. These last three weeks of our time mananagment project has helped realize that overall I am very lazy.Throughout my management project it showed that I sleep alot and if I wasnt sleep then I was hanging out with my friends.My short term goal that I had made for myself was to study more daily whether then sleeping or socializing with my friends.I am glad my goal worked out as plan because due to my studying I received to A's this week on my test.So I am happy to say that im glad I did this time management project,even though I had to sacrifice my extracurricular activities to make time to study.

  9. Time Mangement showed me that i spent more time sleeping then doing anything. My short term goal was to make sure that i got most of my work done for my classes. Although i am still in the process of doing this, it is going to get better.

    The time management project for the past three weeks showed me that my schedule is always changing. I notice that from the first week i had lots of time for things like working out every day and socializing every chance i got. Until i joined all the organizations, and i seen how it dramatically impacted my schedule and my sleeping time. i was getting more sleep before i got involved with school organizations. The short term goal i had for me was to purchase all my books. This did not affect my schedule for time management, it was just the matter of getting the money. I did acomplish this goal by the way

  11. The time management project helped me realize that i was spendind to much time with my friends and way to much time sleeping. My goal was to study more for some of my classes and i do believe that i accomplished it. I was also able to get a lot of work done.Even though i had to cut some time out from my friends, it was worth it.

  12. The time management project over the last three weeks has helped me realize that I have done a good job in managing my time but some things can be done better. My goal for this project was to have a set schedule or daily routine. Having a daily routine is really helpful for me because when I get thing accomplished and having time set for certain things helps not to forget about them.
    I didn't really accomplish my goal the way I wanted to. It was hard to get into a routine because the amount of homework would vary weekly. One week I may have three hours of homework and the next I would have only one hour of homework.

  13. During my observations of my time management, I noticed that i spend alot of time getting money. My time was spent working more then being social. My short term goal was to continue getting use to tsu and nashville. Coming from Chicago, this was very important that I accomplish. To accomplish this I was very observant, patient, and open to new experinces.

  15. The three week time management period helped me out alot with making sure I have time to do homework and spending time with friends and family.My short term goal was Spending more time with my family.I was able to do that because I made sure that I had my homework done the day that it was given out so that I could spend the time that I had left with my family.(post by:Kiara N.

  16. The three week time management period help me figure out alot about myself. My short time goal was do all my homework. And this time management let me see that i do way to much sleepin and hanging with my friends that i really dont have time to do my work. And when i do it it's on a short notice. So i have to cut my friend time and all the other activities i be doing. Im going to forcus on my goal for now on. (posted by Javon ELLIS)

  17. The three week time management period showed me that I don't do many things for fun. I spend a lot of time working and doing school work but not much time having fun. That is definately something I will keep in consideration.

  18. The Time management project helped me realize that alot of my time is wasted. It also helped me realize that I need to organize my days so that when unexpected occasions occur(famly emergency) I could be more prepared on rearanging. During these three weeks I've learned how to write what needs to be done daily down and the times they will be done. This has helped me alot with getting work done also with organization meetings. This project has truly opened up my eyes to my priorities and have helped me begin to put what is important first.
    The short-term goal made me begin to see how to get my agenda organize so I could meet my weekly goal.

  19. My general observation of my time management project was that I slept more than I expected and I spent alot of time with my family.

  20. My short-term goal was to have all my homework finished by Friday at 9:00 P.M. Unfortunately this goal was not accomplished due to a number of reasons. The time management project did help me get close to it. I did notice I needed to make some adjustments to my time management. I do need to spend more time studying and les time on facebook, and the telephone. Other than that I found my time management is actually pretty good. For this week I must apply these adjustments and I can make my short-term a reality.

  21. The three week time management period help me figure out what I need to work on. Most of the time I was sleeping and socializing with my friends. I need to focus more on studying and more time in class. Everything else was about even but the main two things that I need to work on are the most important. (Posted By Albert Walden)

  22. My time management has been going good. I have leaned how to spend my time in better places doing better things. I set a short-term goal to start study more then i go to the club. After i looked at my problem and was able to change my ways about how i study and it has been going well for the past week now. I study more and I feel im ready for my classes and my test now. In all I think that looking at how are time is spent is a good thing and can help a lot of people get on track.

  24. Observing my Time Management chart, I realize that I have little time to do my homework and be social. I'm always at practice and I'm in practice longer than all of my clases put together. My goal was to make sure that I had all of my music down for this game that just passed. I had to go to practice early to get individual time for this to happen, leaving me with less time to be social. Although I have no time to do anything extra, my goal was accomplished and many more goals will be set!

  29. Dear Society,
    During My Time Spent In Class, We Worked On A Time Management Sheets. By Working With Time, It Shown Me How Much Time I Spent With My Friends And Sleeping. This Helped Me Realize That Something Got To Give. I Must Focus More On Studying Than Having Fun With My Friends. My Goal Was To Finish Reading The Book I Was Reading, Which I Have Finished (Yay!). Thanks to the Time Management. I Became More Organized And More Dedicated.

  30. The time management project opened my eyes to alot of time I spent in band practice when I could have been doing class work or something more productive. I spent most of my time asleep or at band practice, because of this I could not reach my short-term goal which was to make more free time in my schedule to just relax. I also wanted to make more time to exercise which I can't do because of practice, but hopefully next semester when we aren't practicing as much I will be able to fit in more activities and make more free time for myself.

  31. From tracking my time for three weeks I concluded that I spent most of my time practicing for the marching band and attending the football games. My short term goal was to get more time to relax. The time I spent relaxing started at 2.7% and decreased to 0.4%. I was never able to accomplish my goal because I was always up doing something like, homework or cleaning. This assignment made me aware of what I spent most of my time doing. Its also has helped me to understand that I need to find a better way to organized my time.

  32. My time management project was interesting.I learned how to manage my time better, as far as socializing and studing.I socialized and slept entirely to much. I accomplished my short term goal, which was to maintain a postive attitude towards college and everything else.This project allowed me to open my eyes to see that my time is more valuable than i thought, so now i use my time wisely.

  33. When i look back at my time management project, i was surprise to see how much time i spend sleeping and socializing. I accomplished my short term goal, which was to get an A on my history essay question. This assignment made me aware of where all my time is being spent and now can let me know where i can take time from and add it to things that actually matter like studying for school

  35. For the past few weeks I have learned alot. About the way I spend time doing nothing when I could be studying. I thought it was interesting at the same time to do something like this, because it is like an outlook on your daily activities that you participate in. It was a great learning experience for the future.

  36. In my time management I observed that much of my time I was sleeping. I also observed that I was not studying as much as I thought I was. I was surprised on how quickly time passes when I am watching T.V. My short-term goal was to finish all my homework on time for the week starting September 14, 2009 and ending September 18, 2009. My goal did not have much effect on my time management. I did not have to make many changes on how I managed my time. In order to accomplish my goal I watched less TV and when I got home I went ahead and did my homework. In results I achieved my goal and I was able to turn in my homework on time.

  39. The time manangement made me realize how many uneccessary things I was doing and how I could have managen my time better. My short term goals are quite simple: to study for my finals and catch up with all my work. I have caught up my work, but I am still studying for my finals.

  40. Overall I realized I do a lot of sleeping and wasting time during the week. My time management sheet showed, and proved that was true. My goal, I think, was to get my homework done during the time I was tracking my time management. It made a big impact on my time management, because I had to change up what I was doing, or make tough decisions to get my goal accomplished. I had to make a lot of adjustments to accomplish my goal, but I still dont think I achieved the goal.
