  3. The Secret to Understanding Time • Time management in American culture is simply a matter of choosing, organizing, and scheduling events. Knowing this, we are forced to live by schedules, set times, and restrictions. • Instead of only focusing on events in time, on WHAT we are doing, it also serves us to also explore HOW things are going. Exploring HOW things are going, the quality or feeling of time, should be the domain of inner time management.

  4. What is Time Management? • Time management is the act of arranging your commitments according to the time scheduled and their importance.

  5. Time Management Strategies • There are strategies to gaining good time management skills. • The 888 method • Fixed vs. flexible time • Keep track by using a calendar • Stay away from interruptions or procrastination

  6. 8, 8, 8 = BalanceThere are only 24 hours in a day! • The day is made of only 24 hours (even though we wish it had more). Three segments of 8 hours keeps things simple. • 8 hours of sleep gives you the rest your body needs to accomplish your goals and remain healthy. • 8 hours of work/school keeps you from burning out by doing too much, or from not devoting enough time to your goals. • 8 hours of personal time keeps your life well-rounded with time for fun and enjoyment!

  7. Fixed time is time that is set. You know ahead of time when things will happen. Your class schedule, your appointments, and due dates for papers or tests are all examples of events that are under a fixed time. Flexible time is time that you have available and can change at any chance. An outing with your friends, washing clothes, talking on the phone, or watching TV are examples of flexible time.
