This assignment has given me a different perspective on how time goes on. While my activities made up 4 hours of my day, it really did feel like time flew. It showed me that we really don’t have much time to do the stuff we love before the day ends. I picked Sunday to record my day because I knew that I had the most activities planned, but I felt like I needed to spend more time on studying and other education-related activities. In conclusion, I felt like it was a great assignment to really gain insight on what I did on a day-to-day basis and it gives me more motivation to use my time more wisely.

I chatted with my mom about nails and our job since I recently finished training and will actually start working this week, I am excited about it. I liked keeping track of my time although I do not like being so specific about it, besides that I believe this activity was really fun. I usually try to manage my time in a similar way.

Here is how I spent my time on Monday, October 17, 2022, from 3pm-7pm: 

Proofread and finalize LAW 1101 midterm exam — 1.0

Prepare assignment and midterm exam study sheet for LAW 1101 class — 0.75

Clean up my desk, finish a few emails, shut down computer for the day, get work materials ready for tomorrow — 0.25

Visit with Lucy, catch up on family, what’s new, etc. — 1.0

Travel from Lucy’s home (Crown Heights) to my home in Downtown Brooklyn (4 train) — 0.50

Reaction: This activity reminded me of my law firm days, when I used to have to keep track of all of my work time.  It took me a little while to get back in the habit of checking the time when I started and completed each activity, so I could record it accurately.  I was surprised at how much I did during those four hours!  It didn’t seem like much at the time, but when I listed everything out, it looks like I was pretty productive.  🙂
