MY PLAN FOR SELF-IMPROVEMENT
1. In which two or three time management behaviors do you need to improve the most?
The three areas that require the most improvement are placing contacts/tasks in one place, having the ability to say no when necessary and knowing exactly where the time goes in a day.
2. What steps can you take to improve these behaviors?
The steps that can be made to help improve my time management behaviors are to place all information on my cellphone because I carry it with me everywhere I go. I also could link the calendar on my phone to my home computer allowing me to plan ahead of time of what I may need to do when I get to work A way that I could improve on stopping myself from taking every task that comes my way is to suggest some else to do it or if in a leadership role delegate to someone. Ways that I can help to start tracking my time management is keeping a log of how much time is spent doing each task. It is by no means a perfect science, but it is a start.
3. What are the first two or three steps you will take?
The first few steps that I am taking are to start keeping a weekly schedule of assignments/tasks that need to be done and while I prioritize them figuring out how long they should take. After I finish my work day keep a daily log of how I spent my time throughout that day. Allowing me to overlook areas where I may be wasting time and come up with ways that I can be more productive.

I think that I could improve my time management skills by making sure I limit my distractions. Facebook is a big thing I like to check periodically so if I block out a little bit of time throughout the day to have that moment to check facebook or phone a friend or family; my thought is that hopefully by the time I am ready to do homework, I will have gotten that all out of my system which will allow me to keep on task to finish the assignment or project. Another thing that helps me that I should do more often is find a place with the environment that will help me focus on my tasks and not be distracted. I find that a lot of times when I work on my school work at home I want to do other things such as clean house. When my house is a mess I find myself stepping away from the computer to clean it. So when I have to do a assignment it would be best if I can leave the house to finish up my assignment. I think it would also benefit me to plug in some time for myself to have fun. This is something that I don't do often and have a hard time finding the time to do, but I feel that if I did that it would help me to stay focused on tasks when that time comes and to not be so

I have identified Time Management because in my role as an Employment Advisor I have targets of helping clients in to sustainable employment and in order to achieve these targets time management is essential.

Without having successful time management skills flowing correctly in my daily schedule. I find myself stressing to get certain things done.

It could be flowers, a fruit bowl or candles. Depending on what center piece she uses determines what type of plates, silverware she is gin got use. I want you to think of time management in the same way. Your “center piece is what you will base the rest of your day off of. Allow me to elaborate. My center piece is my job. I know when I go there and I know when I come back. For most people, myself included, this is the biggest portion of time that I have set aside throughout my day. This is the center of my management plan. All of my activities are based off of my schedule at work. Having this center piece allows me to have boundaries to determine what my days will look like. This especially affects my extra-curricular activities. My wife on the other hand is a stay-at-home mom. She will be the first to tell you her center piece is the boy’s nap time. This determines when she needs to shopping, run errands, take the boys places and when she needs to be home. If you are a
