Calendar Reflection

Finding time in college for studying, completing homework, doing laundry and hanging out with friends can be exhausting. It makes me wish for my high school days when my mother did my laundry, school work took two hours each night and hanging out with friends until late in the evening was the norm. But now that I am in college this calendar reflection put things into perspective.

For instance, I noticed I had a lot of extra time during my lunch break in the middle of the day. I could easily do a couple hours of homework then and save myself some time in the evening. What more I realized is that I can easily accomplish my English homework for the week by doing an hour of it while I eat my lunch. In conclusion looking over my calendar; seeing how my day progresses showed me how I can manage my time more effectively.

Edit-

I commented on Jessi and Mark's posts about Calender Reflection. They each have excellent time management and had no problem finishing six hours of English homework each week.  I too have no problem fitting the homework into my week. What I realized though is that I need to be on top of my time management. In order to have enough time to do my homework in the week, I need to use my time effectively and not get distracted.  In order to be more effective, I am going to use different strategies like studying in the library, doing homework during my lunch break, and waking up early to finish my homework. I feel that if I stick to this principle I will be more successful.

  1. Hey Michael! My name is Bri, I am a fellow ENG 109H patron in section 7. I am here to ask you a couple questions.

    My first question is how is college going? I'm a sophomore so I know the transition can be a little rough. I hope that your laundry is getting done (and not all over the floor like mine was), and you eat more than ramen everyday.

    Were you able to get your homework done during lunch like you planned to?

    And have you learned any new techniques for time management since you first started college? How has that been working out for you?

    I hope your first semester has been all you imagined!

    Cheers to the next 4 years!
