WORD SUMMARY FOR THE FIVE DAYS ACTIVITIES

WORD SUMMARY FOR THE FIVE DAYS ACTIVITIES

Day 1 summary

In the time management log exercise, I did a five-day record of my activities covering Monday to Friday. On Monday, my day started at five-thirty after my alarm went off. However, before getting off the bed, I had a few minutes to make a mental note of my day and its activities. I remembered a notice about my department’s meeting at ten am and also another planned meeting with one of our partners in the afternoon. I prepared breakfast and got ready for work. We then had a family breakfast. I left for work as my husband ensured the kids got ready for school. At work, I did my job well, with no distractions, and went over my presentation in the departmental meeting at ten. The meeting was successful. After the meeting, I received an email response from my supervisor approving my request to leave early on Friday for a school advisory board meeting. Shortly before lunch, I had little disruption, but I was not that affected. I had lunch then a successful meeting with a partner. At home, I had an excellent time preparing dinner while helping my children with their homework. I did a bit of school work after dinner, with a small break, then went to bed.

Day 2 Summary

My day 2 of the exercise also went well. I had a meeting at one of our partners offices in the morning. I’, therefore, went there straight from home and then reported to work after. I was a bit tired from all the movement because the meeting was in a different direction from our offices. I had a bit of catching up to do, but after some time, I caught the flow.

At around lunchtime, some colleagues went out to get their meals; hence the commotion was a bit distracting. I also had a small meeting with my department head to bring him up to speed concerning my morning meeting. He was happy with the results and commended my brilliant job. This praise motivated me to go to my work well for the next hour or so. I got tired again towards five. At home, the dinner time extended as one of my kids shared some good news from school. I studied a bit after this then went to bed.

Day 3 Summary

Day 3 was just like any other typical day. I got up at five-thirty and followed my regular routine before work. I informed my husband about an upcoming event that a client was planning for the weekend. After breakfast with the family, I left for work as my husband oversaw the children’s preparation for school before he also went to work. At the office, I had some reports to work on and deliver before the end of the day. They were quite straightforward, and I completed them before nine. I had heavy lunch, and it took me a bit of time to adjust back to my work after that. However, I got around it, and my concentration level was okay until about four-thirty.  At home, after dinner, I did a lot for my school work. My concentration level was excellent, and I got a lot done before bed.

Day 4 Summary

My fourth day started on an intriguing note. My last-born child sleepwalked in the course of the night and woke everyone up. I only had a few more hours of sleep to catch after that. I got up in time to pray and prepare for the day. Breakfast was okay as we laughed about the minor sleepwalking incident. At work, I had a lot to work on because I would be leaving work early the next day. I was motivated and accomplished a lot before lunch hour. I got a bit distracted around lunchtime by people having early lunch, but it was not a big deal. After lunch, I got right back to work. We got news about the accident involving one of our most loyal partners. This case brought every work to a standstill as we tried to find out what happened. I got home early to prepare dinner. I also did some school work and retired to bed as soon as I felt like I was drifting away.

Day 5 Summary

Day five was a busy one for me. I had a lot to do in the day. I woke up a bit later than every day because my husband prepared breakfast. I got to work and started working immediately. I felt tired at first, but it wore out after a while. I had a tea break and made some calls to a friend that had contacted me the week before about an event she was planning. I made inquiries because she had sought my services on planning the event. I followed up with another call at lunchtime to the person that was to make some deliveries towards the same occasion. After sorting out everything, I went back to work. I also received an email invitation from one of my old friends to her baby shower. I left at three because there was a meeting for the advisory board scheduled for that day. After the meeting, my family decided to have dinner at our favorite local restaurant. I got back home and after resting for a while, did a bit of reading. I did not do much; however, as I was too tired to concentrate. I, therefore, got ready and went to bed.
