What I listened to / read
After class, I thought about last week. It was a very busy week and it had many problems. Sometimes, I wonder why somebody can do many things in the same time but they still have time to gym or travel and whatever they want. I just heard a speech that it would be an answer. "How to gain control of your free time | Laura Vanderkam"

What it says
In the clip, Laura Vanderkam talks about time management and how to do that. She says we don’t build lives we want by saving time but we build lives we want then time will save itself. The key point to manage time is the way we treat our priorities as the equivalent of emergency situation and she also guides us to make a three-category priority list: career, relationships, ourselves, it is very helpful.

My response
Well, I am a person who always say I have not time to go to the gym or to do something. I did not realize what is a problem but after listening to this clip, I know the reason immediately because I did not set it into the piority list and I think I am a mobile addict too. Sometimes, I think I just see little things in facebook but the truth is I lose more than one hour for nothing.Actually, I always make a priority list but just for work. I have never made a list for relationships or myself before because I think they are unimportant but I may try it next time. The speaker tried to tell us about how to saving time to do something by compare the priority list with the broken water heater. (I think it means an emergency situation.) So, if you want to do something, you just put it in your list and do it.
Time management is something I have problems with, and as Kitty notes, it's usually because I don't prioritise, or if I do, I then let a TV series or something else distract me from my goals.

I like the suggestion, which I also learned last year, of adding personal items to calendars and time planners, like time to relax and see friends - these things are important, and we need to take time for them, not to delete them all in the interests of work.
Even silly TV series have there appropriate place and time.
Kitty, what would be a good title for your post?
