Goals & Outcomes

I: Improve time management skills and organization.

Writing out a complete schedule and sticking to it.
As soon as I get a task, writing it down and complete it according to its importance (high priority, important but not urgent, can do later).
As soon as I get any papers, organizing them immediately and file according to its subject matter.
Removing distractions when I need to get work done and setting specific times for those distractions.

Completing work early/on-time, so I must leave time to do the work and follow my set schedule.
Writing down all assignments and corresponding due dates so I don't forget. Highlighting when I'm done with these tasks.
Reading all directions to be sure I'm doing assignments correctly and thoroughly.
Asking questions when I have them.
Writing flashcards and thoroughly studying for each exam.
Paying attention and writing thorough notes for each chapter and during lectures.

Organizing my time with them in it.
Asking them about their schedules so I'm not idling when they aren't home.
Accounting for traffic. (It takes 45 min. to drive there at a minimum.)
Understanding that I won't get work done when I'm with them; thus completing assignments and important to-do's before I drive over.
Asking them to visit me out here when they can. (This likely won't happen, but I can ask.)

Buying out less (i.e. coffee, food) and brewing/cooking at home.
Going out less, or spending no money when I do go out.
Scheduling my time better so I have time to cook meals at home. I won't have to buy out because I'll have already made my food/coffee. (Coffee is very important to me.)

Waking up early and actually doing the pilates exercises I learned last semester instead of just staring at my mat.
Walking to nearby locations instead of driving.
Cutting out all drinks with an unreasonable excess of sugar from my diet (not just sodas, but overly-sweetened fruit juices and my beloved Starbucks iced lattes).
Making food at home so I know exactly what ingredients go into it, and I can keep myself accountable for exactly what I'm putting in my body.
Not tempting myself by buying processed snack foods.
Buying healthy snacks to munch on throughout the day.
Continuing to exclude meat and meat byproducts from my diet, and adding even more vegetables, fruits, and healthy grains to my diet.
Drinking more water.
