Time Management Plan: Identify Black Hole Black Holes Reflection: #1- Distraction from my son, fiancé, dog, TV. These distraction’s impact my schedule because it takes me away from time that I could be spending on schoolwork. When I come in my room where my desk is, I shut the door, turn my computer on, and get in the groove of working. I forget to turn off the TV a lot, and I will admit that, so my plan is to come in and turn the TV off, give the remote to my son or fiancé to take and hold until I am done. I also need to put a sign on my door when I am coming in to do work because it seems every time I come in here, they come in and ask questions like “what’s for dinner?” I also can add a lock to my door, but a sign is still going up, so I do not keep getting knocks at my door. Maybe I can hang a hat on the doorknob, so they can see from the end of the hallway that I am doing schoolwork, so please do not knock! I have noticed I check my emails to often and that is a distraction that I have been working on eliminating. Checking it is important, but I am learning how to do it at a proper time. To reduce this distraction, I will plan out 15-20 minutes to just checking emails each day. I think once in the morning and once in the evening will be best that way, I do not miss any important messages I might need to reply to that day. #2- From the data collected from the time log, it shows that every day from 3pm-5pm, I am either going to Walmart, relaxing, or talking on the phone. Having them 2 hours each day can be used for more beneficial activities, like schoolwork or exercising. I can help to reduce time on unnecessary things by making a list of items’ I need and might need for the week. I can plan a shopping trip for once a week instead of going multiple times a week. Due to the virus, it is not smart to go out so planning your trip wisely is vital. To help reduce phone call distractions, I can put my phone on silent and leave it in another room while working. When I am not at my desk doing schoolwork, I could take the dog for a walk and talk on the phone then. I will be getting exercise for me and my dog while doing

it, so it is a win! This project has helped me in realizing my flaws in time management. Everyday I am making changes so I can reduce the amount of distractions and disruptions that occur and stop me from using my time wisely. Taking time for myself is always important but knowing when to and when not to, is just as important.

Section II: Academic Mission Statement and Goals My Academic mission is to successfully complete a bachelor’s degree in psychology by May 2023 and own my own practice. Using the communication skills, I have learned will help me to become and established psychologist. I want to be an asset to my community and help those suffering from addiction and mental health issues. I want to help them become productive, strong, and healthy members of society. Having addiction and mental health issues myself, I know how crucial it is to be there for others suffering from this illness. I want to be a part of someone's support system and possibly be their voice of reason especially when it is a matter of life and death. I want to be able to supply stability for patient’s as well as my own family. I will strive to have my family be proud of who I have become. I want to be a role model for my son and show him you can do anything you put your mind to with hard work and dedication.

My Goal is to use the online writing center to help me write my assignments correctly. Starting this Monday, I will start meeting with a writing coach weekly. It will provide me with the knowledge I need to submit my assignments with confidence and knowing I wrote to the best of my ability. This relates to my mission statement because I must obtain the writing skills needed to submit my assignments correctly and on time. By the grade I receive, I will know I succeeded in my goal. Getting an A will show me I did the best I could and receiving a B or below will let me know I have more work to do to reach my full potential.

My goal is to use SNHU Career found in the online student service to learn skills I will be using in my profession. Every week, starting this Monday, a tool I will be using is the network with professionals. Getting advice and hearing from SNHU graduates will help me get insight on what to expect in my degree and what tools they used and suggest for me to as well. In the next month I want to create my resume. This section has instructions on how to create one, a template that I can use and advice if needed. This relates to my mission statement because I will be learning tools that are necessary in obtaining my degree. I will know that I am getting closer to my goal each week by the feedback that the mentors give me. I will revise any material I submit until I master that task. My goal is to get an entry level position in the medical field while attending SNHU. After this term around May 1 st, I can get my certification as a Peer Specialist and get some experience to add to my resume. I did research on it and they are holding a class to obtain the certification within the next three months. Gaining hands-on knowledge will help me in achieving my goal because I will get the skills needed to become a successful psychologist.

Name of Strategy or Amenity Two: Workshops How it aligns with your mission statement, academic goals, time management plan, or SmarterMeasure results: Attending workshops helped me when I needed more information on a subject. They are a great resource; I like how the instructor and other students can talk to each other. Why it is important to your academic success in an online environment: Being able to have a resource that can be tailored to your specific skill is important. It can eliminate distraction’s that an open subject session could have when your only there for a specific question.
