You can also use this as a checklist to measure your learning. In other words, by the end of this week, you should be able to:

  • Write about what you've learned in Part 4

Next, check out the video introduction in PART 1.

Part 1 - Survey our current time management skills

Let's start with a short online questionnaire that will help us determine how good we are at time management now. Be sure to save your score so you can submit it through this week's writing activity.

Next, let's start tracking our own time management in PART 2.

Part 2 - Build a 3-day activity log

Tracking your own habits over 3 days will give us data to determine how well we are spending time and if there are ways we can improve our time management skills. Here's an example of what a good activity log looks like:

Now that you seen an example, spend time tracking your own activities over the next few days. Then, share your log in this week's writing activity.

Next, check out a good article and video in PART 3.

Part 3 - Read and watch about time management

Sometimes learning from others is the best way to grow as an individual. So let's start by reviewing these 21 tips for improving our time management skills. As you read, focus on finding 1 or 2 tips that you find most relevant to your life.

Now check out this short video introduction to different time management strategies.

And finally, let's write to reflect about what we've learned in PART 4.
