I manage mine by breaking a list of thing to do into mornuing, afternoon and evening sections. The rest is simple; I just fill in what I do in each part of the day. Ova 2 U...

I thrive on routines. If something isn't working how I think it should be, I immediately freak out.

So, an ideal routine (at the moment, anyway) looks something like this:

3-5 am: Wake up
3:30-5:30 am (depending on waking-up time): Eat something
6:00 am: Get dressed
6:30: listen to music until I freak out.
7:00: watch TV
8:00: sleep again
11:00: wake up
12:00: eat something
13:00: watch TV (a staple diet of those Channel 5 quiz shows for which I soon hope to apply, with the odd Australian soap opera mixed in..)
15:00: watch TV again
17:00: sleep
18:00: go on internet
22:00: sleep

There's not anything more philosophical to add at this point, but I'm trying forever harder..!

I don't care for routines and just do what the heck I feel (unless I'm at work that is).

Manage my time? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I waste mine, mostly... ::)

Ditto, except that I can't exactly do whatever I want when I want because I've gotta think of my kids first.  :)

Same here.  Well, mostly.  I kinda just play the day by ear.

Ah! Of course. I'm very fortunate that our lad is growing up and does things for himself (when he gets away from the TV  ;D).

Ha ha, she said "time" and "manage" in the same sentence. That phrase doesn't even exist in the average teen's head (especially mine). I'm too spontaneous for time management. When I get bored, I'm done doing whatever I was doing in the first place.  ;)

What is this "time" you speak of? 

Seriously, I don't even have any sense of time anymore.  "Time" to me is, morning, afternoon, night & when the kids are sleeping. :P

POORLY!
God lyk!

I say this with all of the caring and respect in the world -

Try and get outside once in a while. :o ;)

Me too. :P

I waste mine, mostly... ::)

Most times I can relate. :-\\

Well, usually in the morning I think of what I need to get done, and I make deals with myself like:

I need to take a shower, get dressed, start laundry, blah blah blah... and when I finish all those things, I will go to Starbucks and get me a mocha.  That usually motivates me to do what I need to do quickly.

I often tell myself "I am not going to watch TV until I finish this, that, etc." too.  Because once I lay down on the couch and watch TV, it usually means my productive day is over.

Same here. Actually, a similar situation occurs for me with the computer; I end up spending several hours on it.

Years ago I had a really bad habit of watching TV for hours at a time and not getting anything done.  I broke that habit by placing a very uncomfortable wooden chair in the living room, and I made myself sit on that chair instead of the couch whenever I watched TV.  And it worked.  Now, aside from football, I usually only watch TV for the last hour or so before I go to bed.

My time..I do what needs to be done and the rest follows.

In the last fews days, with difficulty!

I should call my house procrastination station because that is what happens around here :-\\

Sounds like my house, Danoota.  I went to bed last night with great plans of cleaning the house first thing, then going to the store, then doing the work I brought home.  Well, it is morning and here I sit, on the internet just looking at the house. ::)

I attend a program Mondays,Wednesdays.Thursdays and Fridays I volunteer,Saturdays are up in the air and Sundays I spend time with my beautiful girlfriend Robin & going on 10 months with her. :)

I get up early, got to be at work by 2:00pm and finish 10:00pm weekdays. At the moment I work Saturday overtime too for four hours. The time I have off between then is used up trying to sort the flat out, trying to go out when I can and being on the boards.  8)

Well, I get up at 5:38 to take the dog outside and give him breakfast.. then he goes to the basement and I go back to bed until 9.. then I take a quick nap, which rejuvenates more then the whole night's sleep. Then I get up, use the internet for a bit, practice instruments, eat lunch and use the internet during that time, do what tasks were set out for me, walk the dog, then relax.. by then, my mom is home, so my dog has to be walked again. Then my dad gets home for dinner. Then I walk the dog again. Then I have to wait around until 9-10, then I can use the internet for 2 hours. Then I watch TV or keep using the internet until I go to sleep.. I'm required by 12, but often I stay later.. I don't sleep much.

Wake up at 10:30Am

Brush Teeth, take a shower, put on some clothes.

12:00 PM Breakfast time

2:30 Start making lunch, start getting my care packge ready for my job and change into uniform for work.

3:20 Leave house

4:15 get to job

midnight: leave job

2: 30 am go to bed.

I don't.

Maybe when I get a real full time job and stop being a bum student, I might have a more set out daily timetable.  :D

Since I saw a Spider viewing this thread (thank goodness for them...), I thought I'd bring it back up.


I still don't manage my time the way I'd like to...hopefully someday I can.

I do whatever I need to do in the time between waking up and going to bed.

I go to program,volunteer and the weeknd is mine for whatever

My life is pretty much boring right now. I stay at home with Vaughn, and try to find things to do each day...but you can only clean so much during the week. I do activities with Vaughn and try to keep busy and such...but I am looking forward to going back to work/school once Vaughn starts kindergarten...then I can get back into the swing of things. :)

My time is managed by kepping to a routine.

At any point of the time of the day, I know where I am.

I'm like the poster child for A.D.D.  I am infamous for starting things but getting distracted with something else.  I somehow manage to make it through the day though, so I guess I do alright...

Time management.  Hmmm maybe I should try that.  Sounds kind of dangerous though. :-\\

The only routine I have is when I have work or a lecture. I work my sleep around then (ie: I like to get up at least an hour before being at work or school).

Other than that, it's all one great big mess. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing in 10 minutes, 1 hour or even 5 days from now.  ::)

At my home, all service users (residents) have a schedule. Here's an example of mine on a college day (Wednesday)

7.15am. Get up, shower and get dressed.
7.45am. Have breakfast.
8am. Take Medication.
8.45am. Leave home for college, catch the bus.
9.30am. Start college, morning lesson.
12.45pm. Have lunch, take medication.
1.45 - 5pm. Afternoon lesson.
5pm. Finish college.
5.30pm approx. Arrive at home.
6pm. Take medication and prepare dinner.
7pm. Relaxation time, Listen to The General's Evening Show on Capital Disney.
8pm. Take medication and have a bath.
9pm - 11pm. Listen to the rest of the show, relax and go to bed.

On Monday, college is 11.15am - 5.30pm and 11.15am - 5pm on Tuesday. I have Thursdays and Fridays off.

Here's what I do on a Saturday:

8.15am. Get up, shower and get dressed.
8.30 - 8.45am. Have breakfast and take medication.
9am - 10am. Plan my day.
10am. Clean bedroom, study time or Internet access.
12.30 - 1pm. Leave for lunch out and cinema, take medication.
2pm - 3pm. Go to the cinema.

6pm. Prepare dinner and take medication.
7pm. Relaxation time.
8pm. Take medication and have a bath.
9pm - 11pm. Listen to the radio, relax and sleep.

The day just happens for me.

Me too :D  It's really amazing that I'm rarely late for anything and I'm making good grades in school :-\\

I have a boring routine and I'd really like to manage my time better

I am queen of wasting time. When I'm home, I can very easily just sit here on the computer for hours doing nothing but browsing and posting.. and next thing you know it's dark outside. When I'm at work it's a bit different, I'm more organized. I have a routine at work. But at home, if I don't have any real plans, I can easily waste away an entire day.

During the afternoon and evening I sit by the computer/laptop for hours on end.

I generally have no set routine except for work. I work between 9am-6pm, and from that point on, I usually have dinner, play around or do some household chores and then fall asleep between 11:30 and Midnight.

I had the most interesting dream last night. It was about my grandpap (who died about 9 years ago). In the dream, my mom had a new voice mail on her phone, and when she listened to it, she realized that it was from my grandpap (her dad). You could hardly hear what he was saying, it was as if he was in another dimension or something...but we knew that it was him, and that he said something to her referring to the fact that he is "okay, and he thinks about her/us all the time".  It was comforting, yet strange...all at the same time.

That sounds lovely, actually.  I dream about my mom all the time - like twice a month.  The other night I dreamy that we were at my dad's wedding, sitting under a tree making fun of everyone.  It's totally something we used to do.  They too, are comforting...yet strange.

I have to manage my time a little better.

I manage it fairly well, I think.

I manage it well, but I know there are times I could do better. I probably manage my time best when I'm at work.

wow...how did this end up in this thread? I specifically searched for the dream thread and posted it there...and now it is in the "manage you time" thread ???  I am confused.

I just looking at the clock!

I could manage my time a bit better at home

Well, I thought I'd spend forever at the post office, but I was there for like, 5 minutes.

sometimes I wish that I had more to do with my time.

My Wednesday has changed. I don't go to the full animation lesson  anymore because I found it too overwhelming. Instead I have 1:1 animation for an hour from 12.45pm - 1.45pm. After that I go out for lunch and then I go home.

I haven't done much to manage my time lately but I'm going to get as many applications as possible to fill up my time.

Right now I'm not managing my time very well...as I have a project that's due in 6 precious hours! :o

I keep myself busy to manage my time as best as possible.
