I am the mother of two children ages two and four and I have a husband that is in army which at times requires him to travel around the country. The issue that I will be using the TEST Framework against will be my time management skills when it comes to establishing a balance of home study life.
What is the problem?
At times I struggle to find a balance between home and study and this can impact on my studies as my two children keep me on my toes.
What is the task?
The task is for me to be able to complete my studies without the last minute “oh no I completely forgot about that!” and to organise a time management system that works for not only myself but for my family.
The environment
I tend to complete my studies in the living room when my kids have gone to bed. Sometimes I will set up a study area in the dinning room for a change.
What skills do I have?
The skills I possess are I am able to follow a routine when needed.
What tools do I have?
I have a calendar, alarm clock, IPADS,IPHONES, and a computer which all inform me of the time and date.
