Today's PPP session was based around time management. We were asked to create a list of things we have to do, and things we want to do. The 'have to do' list included everyday things that we must do to have a functional life, such as eat and sleep. The 'want to do' list then obviously consisted of things we do for leisure, such as go to the gym etc.
My list of have to's consisted of:
- eat
- sleep
- food shop
- go to uni
- shower
- relax
My list of want to's consisted of:
- go to gym
- relax more
- read more books
- go on holiday
- online shop
Personally, I found this task quite difficult as it was hard to think properly about my wants and needs, I do things every day without even realising it as I am in a routine. This made it hard for me to recollect exactly what my needs are, as I usually do them without thinking. On the other hand, thinking about what my wants are was also difficult as I have so many! It made me realise that sometimes where is a blurred line between my wants and my needs - I initially thought that relaxing would come under my 'want to's' but I then realised it is more of a 'have to' for me as I don't believe I would be able to function without it.
After this, we then drew out a timetable on a large sheet of paper and filled it in with our daily activities. This made it apparent when and where I have any free time to allow me to do some of my 'want to's' as well as my 'have to's'. I then stuck this sheet above my bed in my room so that it is clearly visible. Hopefully this will help structure my day and help me use my time better in the future.
