  1. Time Management FCS 3000 M. Burns

  2. Today’s child has become the unwilling, unintended victim of overwhelming stress – the stress borne of rapid, bewildering social change and constantly rising expectations. The contemporary parent dwells in a pressure-cooker of competing demands, transitions, role changes, persona, and professional uncertainties, over which s/he exerts slight direction. M. Burns, 2007

  3. You know you’re too busy when, you… • Eliminate moisturizer from your nightly routine to save 20 seconds. • Feel decadent for taking time off to see the dentist. • Less water = fewer bathroom breaks • Shout ‘hurry up’ at the MW. M. Burns, 2007

  4. A few definitions • Time displacement • Time spent on one activity that takes away from another • Time management • Conscious control of time to fulfill needs and achieve goals M. Burns, 2007

  11. Models of time perception • Linear-separable model • Western European countries • An investment in time today is expected to have a payoff in the future. • Long-term planning is accepted and promoted M. Burns, 2007

  12. Models of time perception • Procedural-traditional model • The actual steps, event, or procedure is more important than the time spent in the activity • The Job isn’t done until the last task is completed. M. Burns, 2007

  13. Models of time perception • Circular-traditional model • Emphasizes the repetitive nature of time • Assumes that today will be much like yesterday and tomorrow will be more of the same. • Southeast Asians M. Burns, 2007
