Weekly Plan

Week 2 has been quite overwhelming. I did not have enough time to do my reading assignments over the weekend. I normally utilize Saturday and Sunday to do my research work and reading. Unfortunately, on Saturday morning, I attended a meeting that took half of the day, when I returned home my husband informed that he had invited our friends over for dinner as they will be leaving for Melbourne the following day. My house was a mess as it hadn't been cleaned the previous weekend when we were away. Thus, my whole Saturday was wasted on doing the trivial aspects of life. I missed church on Sunday so that I can catch up on my work and everything went well thereafter. I managed to complete my tasks. I found that a lot of students were divided when it came answering the forum discussion assignment on what would happen to bond prices if terrorism ended and countries adopted free trade. What's you take on this one?

Is being busy a bad thing? Tim Kreider believes it is. He states that people are overscheduling themselves which is unnecessary and silly of them to do. Kreider begins his argument in his article “The ‘Busy Trap”, by asking how many times we respond with “I’m busy” when asked how we are doing. Living in today’s society it’s the normal thing to be busy to the point of exhaustion. In fact, Kreider states that people who are working full time jobs or crazy hours are not those who say that they are busy. Being tired is what makes people feel like they are busy. For example, a mother working at the local grocery store, gas station, and recreation center will tell others that she is doing well when asked about how she is doing. On the other

In addition, I like to finish any homework promptly and I even try to be ahead as much as I can so that I won’t be frazzled out about not having it done. Likewise, while working I try to get

It is safe to assume that at any given time, you will struggle to make time for yourself amid your busy schedule. There are too many things to do, places to be, and people to tend to. What ultimately happens is that you end up neglecting the most important person which is YOU.

The work of Harlow and Deci, however, brought a different perspective to the table. The idea that people can be motivated internally by things that cannot be seen or touched was a startling new concept. Intrinsic motivation, or Motivation 3.0 as Pink calls it, was officially born. Motivation 3.0 suggests that “I want to do something” because the sheer act of doing so is personally satisfying and deeply meaningful on a much grander scale. Intrinsic motivation, as the name implies, comes from within an

Weekplan is a weekly planner app with more 300,000 users. It's based on Dr. Stephen Covey’s four quadrant model. Most time management systems are good at helping store the tasks you need to do, but Weekplan is different—it helps you not just prioritize your tasks but also motivates you to do these tasks through daily reminders and notifications. It also allows you to mark tasks as important or urgent. By the end of the week, you can clearly see where you spent most of your time. It even provides quadrant view, goals, a journal, reminders and integration with Google Calendar.

Whether in our personal or professional lives, we all say it. For most of us, we throw the term around so easily that we don’t even realize we are doing it. At this point in your day, I’m sure you have either said it to someone, or someone has said it to you (maybe even a few times). What am I talking about you may ask? That tiny little four-letter word we use to describe our plate being too full, our never-ending to-do list, or the act of juggling multiple tasks at once – I’m talking about being “busy”.
