Time Management

After completing Activity 2 and Activity 3 in Chapter 2 [ CITATION Uni \l 1033 ], my time allocation results compared to my ideal time allocation results were closer than I thought. I am spending the time I need toward my studies as I hoped I would. What I did find is that I am spending more time watching T.V. than I had thought.

My iPhone has a time tracker for about everything. I never bothered to look at it until now. I use a sleep app, but it is to see how well I am sleeping rather than how much time I am sleeping. I am sleeping less than I thought, but I am sleeping well. I don’t play game apps on my phone as much as I had felt or read personal text messages or emails as much as I had thought.

I also have an app called Life Cycle, which shows me physically where I spend my time. I have had the app for years but never really thought about it in time management. For example, it shows me the number of hours I drove, shopped, had family time. Life Cycle has all that and additional information that goes back for several years. I can add school and study where I can tell Siri I am at school or studying.

Based on what I learned from the 2 Activities, I will implement the following three time management strategies:

1. Use the tools I already have for time management. The Life Cycle app provides me with what I did all of last year, last month, last week, and yesterday. I can see where I lacked direction for the previous day—looking back to plan for the next day ahead. As I said, I can add class time and study time to my Life Cycle App, and it will track that when I tell it. What is significant is it will remind me every so often if I am still doing that activity if I set that setting. 2. Audit my tasks; I need to learn to say “no” to jobs I don’t need to do. No need to take

on tasks just because I don’t want to say “no.” I will work on saying “no” or delegate tasks that are just busywork. 3.

Plan my next day the night before. Do the tasks I don’t want to do first, to get them done. Completing the jobs I don’t want to do should make it easier to complete other tasks, as I won’t be thinking about those jobs I don’t want to do anymore.

APA Exercise Every week in your learning journal for Online Education Strategies, you will practice APA format. For the first 4 weeks of this class, we have practiced how to cite and reference different kinds materials – books, articles, website, and videos. While there are other kinds of materials that can be cited and referenced, most will be very similar to what you have already learned, and so we are working on quoting and paraphrasing.

This week, we will continue working on how to correctly quote and how to correctly paraphrase. Go back to the video you found for our Week 4 APA exercise. Then, complete the

following exercise:

1.

What was the full reference for the video you found for the Week 4 APA exercise? (If your instructor gave you feedback on how to correct your reference, be sure to write the correct reference this week).

Oshiro, B. (2019, February 28). TEDx Talks: Encourage critical thinking with 3 questions. Retrieved from Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hoE8mtUS1E

2.

What was the in-text citation for the video you found for the Week 4 APA exercise? (If your instructor gave you feedback on correcting your citation, be sure to write the correct citation this week).

TEDx Xiguan, China; Oshiro (2019) said that 90% of the teachers' questions were of low order question types.

3. If your video had a transcript, find a paragraph from the transcript, and copy and paste it here. If it did not, do your best to include a full sentence directly from the video.

“As a teacher evaluator, there are certain things I look for whenever I observe a class. One thing I look for imparticular are the types of questions that teachers ask.”

[ CITATION Bri19 \l 1033 ]

4.

Select a section from #3, and using the APA rule for short quotations, put the section in quotation marks while adding an APA in-text citation at the end. “As a teacher evaluator, there are certain things I look for whenever I observe a class. One thing I look for imparticular are the types of questions that teachers ask.” [ CITATION Bri19 \l 1033 ]

5.

Re-read the section from #3, and re-write it in your own words while adding an APA intext citation at the end. (This is called paraphrasing).

During a TEDx talk in Xiguan, Brian Oshiro says that he listens to their questions; the questions they ask are essential. [ CITATION Bri19 \l 1033 ]
