Time Management - Recording my days

Time management // Fred

We have been focusing on time management recording what we as a group generally do every week. The tasks can be split into three category's. Domestic, Social and Graphic Design practice.

An example of Domestic would be cleaning my room and brushing my teeth.

An example of Social would be seeing friends, having a drink, playing football and general relaxation.

Graphic design would involve blogging which I am currently doing now! networking, crits, design process and presentations.

The task I have got is to now record my days. I think I am going to buy a separate journal and solely record my days in that. I think separating it from everything else makes sense.

Here you can see the sheets we did from today's session:

My three lists of ten Social, Domestic and Design that will make things easier for me in the future and keep my happy...
