Level1.3+Time+Management

**** Level 1.3 ** Determine individual time management**  This is a "biggy". I use work related examples for this one. In printing turnaround time is key. It is not so much the cost of the print job but how fast you can produce the product. Kids have no idea how this one works. So we identify things that slow them down. We have just spent the better part of an hour and we are now ready to begin the job. I like the time sheet method. When I was in industry we had time sheets that were used for the estimating of jobs. We had to fill out all of our time including downtime, i.e. machine maintenance or changing material and chemicals. This was used to add billable time to the customers job. In addition to making sure you were on task. It is interesting to see how the kids react to this once they see how much time they waste. //**Time: Once its gone you can't get it back.**// //Sample time sheets// [|timesheet excell.xls] [|Meg'sCopy of timesheet+excell.xls] [|salad soup cleaning.doc]

**BAKERY--- Time line for this section, activities 5 - 2 class periods.** //.5 class to introduce, This is a Wednesday// //Project. 1 class period to create the chart. Then I have them present. Short presentations. 2-3 min. My kids enjoy this one.//

//Sample Flow chart// (colored) [|Flow chart.doc]
 * Activity 5 -** For this one the activity has them creating a flow chart to help them identify their typical day. This one is good for the visual learners. It allows them to lay out their day using colored shapes which are used to identify time wasters. I use foam pieces for my kids as they enjoy using them and it keeps them interested.

//Sample waste buster//s [|Time Management Guide.doc] As a review of this I go back to the beginning and drive home the fact that when they go to work they will not be able to waste time and by developing new habits now they will ensure a successful future. none //Optional:// comment for page history
 * Activity 6 & 7** As we wrap up this unit we will use all of the charts they have created. By spreading them out in front of them they should see c common theme. Time wasters! Now that they can see where they are wasting time they can come up with possible solutions to help them eliminate the waste.
