Fritter Finder

For this weeks Time Management Task I have chosen to do the Fritter Finder. I chose to use this task because my learning style is kinesthetic and visual, so for me I need to visual see what exactly I need to do then do it. Using the Fritter Finder really helped me stay organized and plan out my events to see where I have free time to study,do homework,or just catch up on things. What I did was fill out a piece of paper with all the days of the week, then on the left hand side I put the time starting from 6a.m. to 12p.m. You can also add in a top row above the days of the week that will have things that are due the next day. After you set up the calendar you can then fill it in with all your homework assignments and projects for the week. What you will see is that you tend to have free time (fritter time) which can be used for multiple things. For me all my free time was at the end of my day, so that is when I would do my work but for others it might be spread out throughout the day. I would look at my fritter finder twice a day sometimes maybe more and if needed I would fill in more items. What helped me with making this, was to look at all of my syllabi and put down all of my homework assignments for the week. The only downfall about this strategy is that you have to make a new one each week and it gets hard to remember to re-due it. The most important thing about this task is to ensure that you use your time wisely. It helps a lot having everything laid out and it makes it a lot easier to follow things when they are all organized. If anyone is having trouble with their time management, I would definitely recommend this time management task. Although it worked for me, it might not work for the next person, but I believe that it is worth a try.
