6. TIME MANAGEMENT
It is managing ourselves in relation to time. It
is setting priorities and taking charge of your
situation and time utilization.
Time must be explicitly managed, just like
money.

7. A WORD ABOUT ENERGY
The most overlooked aspect of time management is your energy level.
Evaluate your energy level at different times of day.
If you are a “morning person,” seize the early hours
to study and do assignments that require focus.
If you are an “evening person,” make sure that you are
being productive and not sacrificing sleep for extra
hours to socialize.
Losing sleep is the easiest way to sabotage your energy level!
Don’t let this be
you!
Think …..
about your energy
level at different times
of the day

subject to.
 Balance
Good time habits can enable us to achieve a more balanced
life, with adequate time and energy for work, home, family,
self.

If you can become more effective with your time, you
automatically increase your productivity.

professional goals, you need available time. Nothing can be
done when you’re out of time.

 Goals
 Task List
 Time Management Tool
 “To do" lists

Time Management Tools
 Scheduled Planning Session

11. STEPS TO MANAGING YOUR TIME
1. Set Goals
2. Make a Schedule
3. Revisit and Revise Your Plan

12. WHERE TO START?
1. Set Goals!
 Make your goals specific and
concrete. Don’t be vague.
 Goals must be smart
 Specific
 Measurable
 Achievable
 Realistic
 Timed
 Set long-range goals and
objectives linked to them.
 Set a deadline for your goals.
Go for
the goal!

13. SET GOALS! CONTINUED
From your goals, set priorities.
 What’s important and what isn’t?
 What order do things need to be done in?
 Use an A-B-C rating system for items on your "to
do" lists with A items being highest priority.
 Once you know what your priorities are, you need
to plan out a schedule for the semester, the week
and the day.
 Planning may seem hard at first, but the more you
do it, the easier and more natural it gets.
o ASSIGN realistic priorities to each task
Priority 1: due TODAY by 6pm
Priority 2: due TOMORROW by 6pm
Priority 3: due BY THE END of the week
Priority 4: due during next week

15. 2. MAKE A SCHEDULE
 Set Up Your Semester Calendar
• Look at the syllabus for the class schedule.
• Highlight all exams and project due dates.
• Identify routine working days.
• Don’t forget to take a break once in a while.
 Fill in the weekly schedule in this sequence
 Personal Maintenance (i.e. eating, sleeping, getting
ready, travel)
 Your classes
 Your work commitments
 Other Commitments (volunteer, extra-curricular etc.)
THEN fill in other OPTIONAL commitments

16. MAKE A SCHEDULE
(CONTINUED)
 Set Up Your Weekly Plan
Ask yourself these questions about the week:
 What do I expect to accomplish?
 What will I have to do to reach these goals?
 What tasks are more important than others?
 How much time will each activity take?
 When will I do each activity?
 How flexible do I have to be to allow for
unexpected things?
Where does
the time go?

17. 3. REVISIT AND REVISE YOUR PLAN
ARE YOU MAKING PROGRESS?
 Now that you’ve been paying attention to your
schedule, how are you actually using your time?
 Which tasks were you able to do? What didn’t get
done?
 Was your energy level appropriate? Your stress
level?
 What changes need to be made to your weekly
schedule?
 What are persistent time wasters?

18. PRINCIPLES OF TIME MANAGEMENT
 Set goals and Establish priorities
 Spot the Time Wasters
 unclear objectives
 Disorganizations
 Interruptions
 Inability to say no…etc………….
 Think quality not quantity of Time
 Organize Yourself for success – Prioritize, Clear your goals,
delicate work to others, stay healthy in body and mind, Act
purposefully and positively.
 Write a Daily Time schedule: - Time, Activity, Priority (mark each
activity according to how important it is (A: Extremely important;
B: Important; C: relatively unimportant), Effectiveness and then
evaluate the complete time plan of the day.

19. TEACHING APPROACHES
 As teachers become more and more accountable for student
success, taking advantage of every minute of class time
becomes crucial. Efficient use of class time can increase
student performance and decrease teacher anxiety.
 Phases of teaching
 Pre-active phase
 Interactive phase
 Post active phase

20. TEACHING APPROACHES
Lesson Plan
Most lesson plans will give you presentation times,
lengths for activities, and even suggestions on when to
take breaks.
 Steps Of Lesson Planning
 Objectives
 A.V Aids
 Methodology
 Introduction
 Presentation I
 Partial Confirmation
 Presentation II
 Total Confirmation
 Summary
 Home Tasks

21. TEACHING APPROACHES(CONTINUED)
 Lead-In Activity (10 minutes)- technique used to get students on-
task immediately upon entering the classroom, while the teacher
takes role and organizes class materials.
 Shortly. discuss the lead-in activity before beginning class.
 “Quote/Word of the Day“ - Students respond to a quote or word
written on the board by putting in down in their notebooks.
 Brain Teaser Question - Students are given a question that will
challenge them and get their brains “warmed up.”
 Preview (5 minutes)- make sure students know what is expected
of them during your class time.
 Discuss each portion of the class in advance so that
students know what is in store for them.
 Have a student recap the previous day’s lesson by giving a
short overview in front of the class (this also promotes
communication skills.)

22. TEACHING APPROACHES(CONTINUED)
 Lecture/Notes (20-30 minutes) - Students attention spans are short,
but notes and lecture are very necessary.
 Cover a suitable amount of material so that the main points can
be reinforced later in the class through activities.
 Encourage student input and questioning during lecture time.
 Demonstration/ Group Activity (15-20 minutes) - provide a hands-
on activity to reinforce the class topic.
 Examples of this could be a group assignment, a lab experiment,
a brainstorming activity, a demonstration, etc.
 Lesson Overview (10-15 minutes)- make sure that all the main points
of the lesson have been addressed during this time.
 Review topics by asking students “What did we learn today?” See
if they got the message.
 Have students reflect in their notebooks what they thought were
the important topics of the day’s lesson.

24. MOST COMMON TIME MANAGEMENT MISTAKES
Mistake #1. Failing to Keep a To-Do List
The trick with using To Do List effectively
lies in prioritizing the tasks on your list.
Many people use an A - F coding system
(A for high priority items, F for very low priorities).
Mistake #2. Not prioritizing Goals
One tool that will help you prioritize effectively is the
urgent/important matrix. This helps you understand the
difference between urgent activities, and important activities.

Mistake #4. Failing to Manage Distractions
If you want to gain control of your day and do
your best work, it's vital to know how to minimize
distraction and manage interruption effectively.
Mistake #5. Procrastination
procrastinating may give immediate gratification because it delays
working on an important (but sometimes undesirable) task, it also
brings:
 Anxiety
 Illness
 Lower grades
 Poorer quality of work
 Less learning as a result of being rushed
 A personal sense of disappointment
 In the end, it hurts you more than it helps you!

26. MOST COMMON TIME MANAGEMENT MISTAKES
(CONTINUED)
Mistake #6. Inability to say “No”
Are you a person who has a hard time
saying "no" to people?
Most of us have been taught that “no” is
disrespectful and even insulting.
This can lead to poor performance, stress, and low morale.
Mistake #7. Multitasking
It can take 20-40 percent more time
to finish a list of jobs when you multitask,
compared with completing the same
list of tasks in sequence.

27. Mistake #8. All work and no play
If it's hard for you to stop working, then schedule
breaks for yourself. Go for a quick walk, grab
a cup of coffee, or just sit and meditate at your desk.
