Sixth Blog Assignment: Passion Project Next Steps

Now that you've identified what your passion project is, why you're doing it, and who it's going to benefit, the next step is to articulate what you need to do to get your project off the ground. For example, if you'd like to volunteer at an animal shelter, your next step would be deciding which shelter to volunteer at and to reach out to them. The most effective way to do that would be with either a phone call or an e-mail where you let them know you're available to help, and ask what it is they might actually want help with.
If you're planning to cook or bake items for the local food pantry, your first step would likely be contacting the food pantry to see what items they might want, and then looking up recipes for those items.
For this post, which is due at the end of next class, please state the following in complete sentences:
1) What you're doing for your project.
2) What your next step will be.
3) How or what, specifically, you will do to take that step.
Regardless of your project, you should plan to take your next step (if you haven't already) by the end of November, as your next blog post will involve writing about how your next step went and how your project is developing.

Fifth Blog Assignment: Your Time Management

After completing the Time Management Questionnaire, tally up your responses and answer the following questions in a new blog post titled "My Time Management." Remember to write in complete sentences for full credit.

1) How many points did you get?
2) Do you agree with the questionnaire's description of your point total? (i.e. you need to change your behavior; your sock drawer is organized, etc) Why or why not?
3) If you scored above 30 points, what are two things you do that help you manage your time?
4) If you scored below 30 points, what are two things you might need to modify or change in order to make more effective use of your time and accomplish your priorities?
5) If you had one extra hour in the day to do whatever you wanted, what would you do? Why?
Your blog will be due at the end of next class.
