Friday, July 1 -- Week 4 Ends

Week 4 is due today.  I am flexible with due dates and will take work without late penalty as long as it is turned in by Sunday of the week it is due.  Be sure to let me know if you need a Sunday extension.  Sunday extensions can get addictive so be careful -- stick to the weekly deadlines whenever possible.

I am traveling to Florida but am still available if you have questions -- text me using Remind or my number 919-435-2008.  I will do my best to get Weeks 3 and 4 graded with feedback ASAP.

You will spend a great deal of time (ha!) this week exploring time wasters and learning tools to improve your time management.   Successful people manage their time well.  Take Maxwell's advice -- stay productive and successful by NOT doing the following things:

1. Don't get sucked into social media.
2. Don't go through the day without a plan.
3. Don't do emotionally draining activities.
4. Don't worry about things you cannot control.
5. Don't hang out with negative people.
6. Don't dwell on past mistakes.
7. Don't focus on what other people are doing.
8. Don't put yourself last in priority.

Before posting any of your assignments, ask yourself the following questions:

a. Did I follow all instructions?
b. Did I completely answer the questions?
c. Do I clearly reflect that I understand and am thinking about the topic?  Did I use any weekly vocab?
d. Do I clearly reflect that I am applying the topic to my life--asking questions, giving examples, etc.?
