FINAL ASSESSMENT: JAMES

James is in his 20s. Hes still in school (college / university), and spends a lot of time pursuing other activities namely side tasks and sports. As anyone whos been to school in the USA knows, coursework, combined with campus life and athletics is quite a commitment. Add sports and extra activities to that, and you have a recipe for burnout. James made it clear that he didnt want a complex efficiency system he wanted something simple and easy to use. A little more structure was how he put it.

Heres what he wanted:

• To learn to structure both his school, activities, and sports training.
  
• To make some money on the side.

Some time-wasters and inefficient habits:

• Multitasking.
  
• Doing things last minute.
  
• Not knowing what to do next.

As we mentioned, James didnt have an efficiency system but he didnt want anything that involved multiple programs either.

Case Study Analysis

1. Consider this list and decide how James will get everything done (and how you will plan his days (work, school, commitments, etc.) so you have everything you need). Your schedule will begin on Sunday at 6am.
2. Then identify how long it will take James to do each item on the list.
3. List the things you thought about that helped you make these decisions.
