My daughter is having problems with Time Management. I am requesting a
Total Solution to Time Management. Please provide information
resources online (websites, researchers and articles), and not product
or program offers (books or third party). She is twenty one and cannot
seem to organize her time properly, but she visited a small workshop
and it helped her. She believes that more of the same would help.

Feel free to take your time and research. If needed, ask questions.
Thank You.

Request for Question Clarification by serenata-ga on 17 May 2003 01:09 PDT

Hello Rossman ~

You present an interesting question for any Google Answers Researcher.

I'm sure you know that an entire industry with millions of dollars in
sales exists to more efficiently manage time. And what works
effectively for one person may seem totally ridiculous to another.

One of the requisites is attidue, in that the person must both realize
there is a problem with time management and want to manage it better.

You indicated your daughter visited a small workshop and it 'helped
her', but it would be of benefit to any Google Answers Researcher who
undertakes to answer your question to know which workshop she attended
(for theory/practice) and how you or she feels it helped ...

Why waste your time with a 'substitution of behavior' method if there
isn't even an awareness that there 'is' a problem or a different set
of references with perception of time, etc.?

So if you can start with the workshop, and what was beneficial, that
would be of help to the Google Answers Researcher who undertakes this
question.

Thanks,
Serenata

Hi! Thanks for the question.

Since you said that you need online resources (websites, researchers
and articles) as regards to time management, I will provide you with
such resources. I have here the following websites devoted to time
management discussions and also short articles that would be of help
to your daughter.

Please take note that although some tips are not geared towards a
student, such wisdom can still be valuable as a general time
management advice.

hello easterangel and thank you for the answer,

Although you have provided a proper answer, I would like to further
analyze the situation and request some additional information before
rating and closing. A tip will follow.

Although you have provided me with what was requested, I personally
believe that such information would go for much less than the
presented price (may be my opinion although). I had other researchers
look into the topics of my other questions and have done actual
informational research on them and presented with some data/info (even
though some were quoted copy/pasted text). Finally, I've found some of
those sites before, thats why I am searching for someone who can dig
in deeper and find a something much finer. There are alot of sites
that are out there which dont get the attention they deserve, and
others get it all but offer nothing. Surely though, I understand your
hard work and time, thus a generous tip will be offered with a good
rating once a thorough research is presented along with the original
payment.

If you wish to know any relevant detailed information, please feel
free to ask. In response to the serenata's question, it was a small
workshop she visited in College, 2 session, and just a speaker who
offered a some tips and explained how it is possible to battle with
the problem. My daughter is aware of the problem, but it is difficult
for her to deal with it, for even attempting to deal with it requires
Time Management and a hint of organization -- both of which she lacks.

Thank you for understanding and hard work, and good luck.

Hi rossmon-ga and thanks for asking a clarification before providing a
rating!

Yes I have scanned your previous questions before I embarked on your
project. On some of them I found that you just want links to the
answers so I thought that this was one of them. I have analyzed and at
times copy pasted snippets of articles for the answers as well but
always with reference to the original texts. I also thought of doing
that here but I felt that the better judgment was for your daughter to
read these things in their entirety.

My question however is what kind of additional resources would you
require? Through these keywords I used, I have exhaustively tried to
only pick the most useful for your purpose. Anyway if you could give
me a sample I will be happpy to provide you with additional resources.

Please reply ASAP so I could get right down to work on this again :)

Thanks!

Hello easterangel,

I guess the provided information is what the web contains as a whole,
since you probably looked deeper and found only those. What I was
probably searching for is maybe some sort of an online little program,
with or without sign up, that has a sort of a 7/30-Day Step by Step
Techniques, or something related. Or perhaps a very extensive and
detailed (educational or scientific) research into this issue, sort of
like a book, and not a small page. I guess we are just unfortunate
that bookselers do not want free electronic versions of their
books/material online :)

Provide any additional information links you've found until now, and I
will be glad to close the deal and give you a tip. Thank you very much
for assisting me in this whole deal. I will try to organize all of the
information together and attempt to help my daughter. This place is
simply great, and its you guys who make it so special. Thanks!
