2. After watching the Time-Management Matrix video, you will notice that all of
our actions fall into one of the four quadrants. Write a list of 15 or more
specific actions you have taken in the past two days. Be specific. It could be
watching TV, writing an essay for your English class, going to dinner with
friends, taking care of an elderly parent or young child, or posting on social
media apps, getting ready for the day etc., Be sure to include a variety of
actions.

19. After watching both videos, write a paragraph about your thoughts and feelings. Use
this as an opportunity to learn more about yourself. Remember that your response
is confidential so only I (Professor) will be reading your answers. Feel free to engage
in deep self-reflection. Be sure to address the following in your paragraph:
1. Write about one thing you have learned from the Jar of Life video, and be
sure to discuss how you will apply it to your life moving forward.
2. Write about one thing you have learned from the Time Management Matrix
video, and be sure to discuss how you will apply it to your life moving
forward.
3. Looking back to activity 2A, in which quadrant do you spend the most time?
4. What different choices, if any, do you intend to make about how you use
time?

The major thing I have learned about the jar of life is that all activities are meant to
complement and make one complete life. This include having friends, family, and
undertaking various activities in day-to-day life. The other thing I have learned from the time
management matrix is that some activities are important and urgent than other in their
nature and require special urgency and attention. I will use the matrix to design a time
management plan based on the key element mentioned above. From the matrix model
above, it is evident that I spend most of my time on things that are important but not
urgent. I intend to plan things and activities depending on their urgency from today.
