Instructional Ideas

• Assign learners to log their major tasks/activities for a series of days to gain a more thorough look of how they currently prioritize their time
• As an extension activity, have learners consider how social media and technology have impacted work ethic and the ability to accomplish what must be done

Classroom Considerations

• Because prioritizing can be very specific to a particular job setting, consider going through exercise #2 as a whole group, where you have compiled the list of tasks/activities that need to be arranged

Pros

• Valuable life skill to develop
• Additional worksheets provided (see included materials)

Cons

• None
