As a student, I am quite busy on weekdays. However, at weekends, I have much free time, so I usually spend it on relaxing to prepare for a coming busy week. First of all, in my free time, I like playing some sports, such as soccer, badminton or basketball, with my friends. Sport not only makes me stronger but also connects me with my friends who have the same hobbies. We sometimes go riding in order that we can combine sporting activity and sightseeing. If the weather is not fine enough for me to hang out with my friends, I like to read books.

anywhere. I can also study English through some interesting websites. (If I have very difficult exercises and cannot solve them by myself, I will visit Google Answers and have somebody to help me. Just like this one ^^). In conclusion, I want to use all of my free time to relax and connect with other

It is said that an empty mind is devil’s workshop. The moment we sit idle, devil starts instilling evil in our minds. So it is always better to do something constructive in our spare time. Any thing that we do in our spare time is called our hobby. It may or may not help us earn money or reputation. But it dose give us pleasure, peace of mind and satisfaction. People adopt different hobbies according to their age, taste and temperament. Stamp or coin-collecting, gardening, cycling, music, movies and hiking are some hobbies that people usually adopt. All these have their own good or bad aspects. But I think that book reading is far better than all these hobbies as it prepares us for life. It covers all the aspects of man’s life and provides both knowledge and pleasure. In this world of strife and struggle where every body is hankering after money, books are selfless friends.

They never leave us in the lurch nor do they reap advantages in our distress. They are helpers to the helpless and friends to the friendless. They are the source of wisdom and pleasure. They teach us how to face and overcome difficulties. They advise us to be sober and dignified both in distress both in distress and happiness. One must be careful in selecting books. Some books are more dangerous than scorpions and more poisonous than snakes.
Time Log Reflection

Over the past week I have learned many things about my time management. I have realized that although I do spend time completing my assignments and preparing for classes, I could manage my time more wisely. A large amount of time was spent doing nothing productive and that time could have been spent better preparing for my math test that I had last Friday. I could have also managed my time better over the weekend and made time to work on assignments from my classes.

Some techniques and tools that I can use to better manage my time are to create a schedule or to use a reward system. If I create a schedule and start with the things I cannot change, such as my classes, then I can build the rest of my schedule around that. This way I can make sure that there will be enough time for the things that need to be done like studying and completing my assignments. I can set a certain number of tasks to complete per day and if I complete those tasks then I can do something I like to do for fun such as hanging out with my friends, watching tv, or being on the computer. Using activities that I actually want to do as a reward should motivate me to complete the activities that I need to do.
I do not usually put much thought into how I spend my time, but now that I have seen how few hours are actually in a day I will try to put more thought into my daily activities. I want to make every minute count and I don’t want to let a second go to waste. This time log has helped me see what I spend the majority of my time on and has made me realize that I need to put more of my focus on academic work and less of it on my friends. I can also put more attention on my overall health and should make more time for exercising so that I stay healthy which will also help me focus better on my studies. A good way to make sure that my time dedicated to school work is used effectively is to go to the library or a quiet space during that time so that I can get the most done

What do we mean by top-priority tasks? What criteria do you use to determine top priority tasks? Identify a top-priority task in your current work/school week. Explain why it is a top priority. A top priority task is a certain project or job that could possibly be big or take a lot of time that has a deadline. For example at my job this week I need to reimage my whole companies computers. This command came down from higher up which means it needs to be done ASAP. 6. The six business practices in the management process are planning, organization, staffing, delegating, directing and motivating, and evaluating. How would poor time management negatively affect business? Assume you own the company. Poor time management could cause a company to lose lots of money, if jobs are not done in a descent time frame you might lose a customer or be paying your employees to slack off instead of doing work. 7. You have heard the saying, “Time is money.” Do you agree? Elaborate on this statement. If you owned a company, would this saying be important? How would you watch the “bottom line” when dealing with your time and your employees’ time? I totally agree that “Time is money”, everything in a business is about time frames and deadlines. Making deadline early or on time makes your company look professional in which case your company can grow from this. Missing deadlines can cause you lots of money and shows bad business. I would just anazlye project and projected deadlines …show more content…
A key factor in time management is having well organized goals with an Action Plan. Create an Action Plan for your educational goals and be sure to include short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals. Before you do this part of the assignment, make sure you have reviewed the Unit 2 Online Lecture (dealing with Action Plans). My Long term goals are to have a Bachelor’s Degree in Network Security and graduating with a 3.5 GPA. My mid-term goal would be to get as many certification while in school as possible and to work hard making good grades. My short term goals would be to continue on my path of completing assignments on time, and making my To-Do
