  • Create a new Word document. For tips on how to do this, make sure to review the Getting Started section of your Word Essential Training video (whichever version is appropriate for you to view).
  • Write an overview. At the top of your Word document write an overview of why time management is important to you. (Idea: You may find it helpful to do your research and research documentation prior to writing the overview.)
  • Online search. Many people have tips and tricks for managing their time and it’s important to find new ideas that can help you. Go online and find three (3) articles or videos that talk about managing your time. (Idea: Use different search terms: “how to manage my time,” “time management best practices,” “managing your time as a student,” or “time management tips.” Think of different search algorithms. You can use Google, another search engine, or the Strayer Library.)
  • Create a table. Now, create a table that has four (4) columns and four (4) rows.
  • Fill in the columns of the table. In the left column of the table, type “Website Title”, in the second column, type “Source”, in the third column, type “What I Learned”, and in the fourth far-right column, type “My Reviews”.
  • Now, provide details about each website.
    • Row 1: What was the name of article/video #1? What is the source (what is the website name)? What did you learn from reviewing this site? Did you think it was helpful and why or why not? (answer in your own words.)
    • Row 2: What was the name of article/video #2? What is the source (what is the website name)? What did you learn from reviewing this site? Did you think it was helpful and why or why not? (answer in your own words.)
    • Row 3: What was the name of article/video #3? What is the source (what is the website name)? What did you learn from reviewing this site? Did you think it was helpful and why or why not? (answer in your own words.)
  • Format your document.
  • Add a Header that includes:
    • The course title.
    • Your first and last name.
  • Add a title to the top of the page called “Time Management” or another title of your choice. Bold your title.
  • Add an image or screenshot between the overview and the table. You could add a screenshot of an actual website you used or an image of a clock or checklist to represent time management tips.
  • Below the image add a bulleted list of two (2) things you would like to start doing to better manage your time.
  • Add a footer, which includes the date you completed and submitted the assignment.

Overview
Time is one of the cheapest and most precious resources available to people to improve
the quality of their lives and achieve success in all their endeavors. While clock time is fixed and
uncontrollable, real-time is the only thing that is defined by people according to the activities that
they are engaged in and the expected outcome. If this is true, then how can we ensure that the
time spent on a task is proper for the activities that contribute to our success? Also, what are the
ways that we can use to assess the quality of time used for performing this, as well as tools for
prioritization and allocation of time? The response to these questions is simple: create a realistic
and achievable task plan and assign time to important activities to ensure their completion
through thoughts, actions, and conversations. It is the knowledge and understanding that
successful time managers have used for several years and achieve the same all the time.
