Microtheme Revision

original paper

It seems there is always another task to complete every time I need to do something else. Attempts at time management seem futile because I can never get everything done. I imagine others suffer through this predicament as well. Why is time management so difficult?

  One possible reason time management is difficult is because we may want a break or relax. Our lives may become very hectic from everything we need to get done and doing nothing may seem easier than doing something. Also, organizing a to-do list or checking the list off may seem overwhelming or undesirable to us so we may just avoid the task altogether. Another cause of poor time management may be due to distractions such as phones, television, or people. It may be difficult to manage responsibilities on top of desires and may lead to wasted time. Moreover, not understanding how to prioritize may be a possible cause of failed management and not completing what needs to be done. 

  If we could begin to understand the causes leading to unsuccessful time management, we might be able to navigate around lost time from distractions or relaxing. We might realize how our skills may not be as great as they could be and could potentially improve them. Also, recognizing there is a problem with managing time may lead us to understand how to prioritize in order to get all desired tasks completed.

  Rewriting this person's paper made me realize exactly what I must do to my own in order write an accurate microtheme. It was a lot easier to take someone else's ideas and turn it into my own words without having to think too hard of the focus at hand. 

  Since I was able to take the ideas and form them into the experience, causes, and full public awareness, I have more confidence going into my rough draft and not as apprehensive. Revising someone else's paper other than my own makes it easier to find what is wrong and how to fix it. Using this mindset it will not be as difficult to correct mine as I will act like my paper is not mine. By doing that I will be able to focus on the specific problem and not get carried away by the general ideas.
