time management...

This weeks lecture was on balance and time management, and is probably the most applicable to my life out of all the lectures we have had thus far. I have had a difficult time managing my time while being a BYU, there is so many things to juggle and its hard to have a stick to a set schedule when I have different classes at different times everyday. The one principle that I am going to strive to be better at is being proactive verses reactive. I need to start planning what I need to do things ahead of time instead of waiting for an opportunity to find time, which will never come.

A prime example of this, I regret to say is completing this blog post in time. I usually write my blogs every Friday, because that is when I would find time, which seemed to work okay for me. But this Friday, I had the most stressful day ever, and I was completely overwhelmed that I forgot to complete my blog. I remembered on Sunday, but decided that I wouldn't ever do homework on Sunday because I want to keep the sabbath day Holy. So here I am sitting in the hallway before class writing my blog.

I can honestly say that I learned my lesson, and I actually planned my whole week ahead of time, so any little stress that pops up won't let me completely forget the assignments that I have to do. Instead of waiting to find time, which just wouldn't happen, I am planning ahead. By doing this will also strengthen my capability to fulfill my leadership role, because I will be more prepared. Instead of focusing of the stress, I would be better able to serve and fulfill my role in advertising for Freeze Fest in BYUSA, as well as being the first counselor in the Relief Society Presidency.
