timetable

How I learnt to create timetable?

The purpose of creating timetable is to manage our time in to proper way so that we can do our things effectively. To create timetable I follow 6 steps below and I will try to stick with it. I need to prepare a presentation for personal project on the last week of September so every day I will spent my time for it.

Step 1: I want to identify how I am spending my time by creating time chart in a day.

Step 2: identify goals.

The list what I want to do:

·        Spent more time to my family

·        Personal project’s presentation

·        Improve my English ( it also means doing personal project)

·        Go to library often

·        More time with breakfast but less time with dinner

·        More time to exercise

Step 3: combine step 1 and 2

Because the spent time for school and sleep can’t modify so that I must change time of another things. I asked myself 2 questions to find out the solution for proper timetable

1.     Looking at the chart, what percentage of my time being spent in areas that are not on my priority list? Housework, travel, relax

2.     Where you spent too much time? Dinner, lunch time

The results:

·        I will take the time for housework combine with dinner so that I having more time on breakfast

·        Every day I talk with my parent thought Skype. I will try to do it when having dinner. Therefore I have more time spent with my family and also less time for dinner

·        I have 1 hour break for lunch at school. it is quite a lot of time spent for lunch so when I finish my lunch I can study English

·        Every day I go to school by walk so I think it consider as exercise

Step 4: make your goals manageable

I make a list-to-do so that I can focus on the most important task. Write down the deadline and the process to do it

For example: - 12^th September 2011, I have to submit English’s task for personal project. So that my process is on 10^th sept I do the half work and then on 11st I do the rest.

Step 5: make your choice

As we know that, life is full of choices. In one day, we could have dinner with friend, go to a movie, attend a live concert or stage play, read book… but if we do all thing we want in the same day, we won’t have time for the priorities. Therefore, we have to constantly set priority and balance what we want to do in 1 week or month. It means that we choose the right things of what you really want to do and say ‘no’ with the rest choices.

Step 6:

We can’t stick with the timetable all the time because life is unpredictable. Some time you have interruptions when doing, so let is free but in your mind, always focus on the priority.

We can make things up to have more time. For me, I will put the fun into exercise by talking some friends to go.
