SOLUTION:

I find that this collaborate chat sheds light on an important topic. I believe that most students taking this coarse myself included, have hectic schedules, and utilizing the time management tool is a great way to help organize daily task. The first time I opened the time management tool I was at work, and wanted to get a head start on this assignment but I quickly found that I was unable to complete the time management chart due to the demands of work. While I do have downtime at work I quickly realized that doing classwork at work wasn’t going to work for my schedule. I attempted several times while at home but was met with the demands of my two young ones. I started to get frustrated and started to rethink this class. I tried putting my children to sleep early but found myself also going to sleep and not being able to get back up to tend my coarse work. I opened the time management tool for a third time, and was able to print it out and block off certain times just for this coarse. I realized that in order for me to be successful in this coarse and get assignments in on time I would have to make sure that I leave work on time so that I can get home before my children…KINDLY CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW TO ACCESS THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT FOR $10
