BLOGGING...

I believe the blogging did help extend the class outside the class. It provided us with a way to interact which each other outside of class. Furthermore it allowed us to get to know one each other better and develop a better class atmosphere. It also allowed people who dont have the chance to letter their opinons known in class to let their opinions be heard even if its via the internet. The blogging made the activities more useful for lack of better words. It lets us reflect on the activity and furthermore understand the topic it applied to.
Now even though, I thought it was a good idea to gives us blog assignments and have it be worth twenty percent of our grades, it kind of annoyed me at times. I didn't not like the deadlines. But I guess that has to do with management as well. Me, personally I'm always on the run and dont usually have access to a computer unless I'm home or school. I'm barely home and if I'm in school I'm in class. But, that all goes under time management so I understand that. I think what would have been a good idea, would have been having no deadlines and just have everything due at the ende of the semester.
Will i continuing blogging? Honestly, probably not, my grade doesn't depend on it anymore. Not that it would be a waste of time, but theres just so little time.

THE ABCs of DISC

The test gauged my management orientation as Conscientiousness. I believe it got it right on point. I'm very conscientious about how things are done. I pay a lot of attention to detail and everything has to be done a certain way when I'm in charge. One place I'm conscientious is at work, I tend to be more picky about how I want certain things to be. I don't wish i could be another type but i do believe a person can change to another type. An individual can become more dominant or influence can increase as times goes by. A test like this would help in other personal interactions because it could reveal some aspects about ones interactions one doesn't realize.

It was all a dream....

That video we watched really got me thinking. The question always brought up to me when I was younger would be "what do you want to be when you grow up?" I never had a clear answer. Till the day I still have no clear answer. Does that mean I'm going to be a failure in life ? Well I'm know I'm not, I've worked hard to get where I am at, and till now I've been successful. Even though I have no clear visions on what I want to be I know what I want to accomplish. My top goals I want to accomplish is moving out, saving money, and get a job that will keep me living "good". One thing I believe is big in accomplishing my goals is saving money itself. Its one of the hardest things to do. As of late I've been doing good, I've cut down on many expenditures. Another thing that is big in accomplishing my goals is just remaining focused. That meaning if something goes wrong, I can not let it throw me off and just forget what I want to do. We all reach the point sometimes where something doesn't work out the way you want it, and you just feel like giving up. That's one thing I have to try to avoid. Overall even though I don't know what I want to be in life, I know I want to be successful, I know I am ambitious. I know I want it all or nothing, I wont settle for less.

Handling Chaos!

The form of decision making I chose was accommodation. I saw the issue as more important to others than myself. I didn't do as good as I would've wanted to on the exam, but that I knew was my problem. Although i thought the form of the test was a little tricky, I think I would've done as good as I wanted to if I would've studied more that what I did. Observing the rest of the class's attitudes towards the decision I would chosen collaborating in order to resolve the problem quicker. I would've contributed to the class more in this matter too. But either way the problem was solved.

..Time is money...

A management problem I am facing now, I would say would be just making time for everything in my life at the moment. That includes making time for friends, family, the girlfriend, while at the same time working and going to school full time. Don't get me wrong its not so hard to manage all this. But what's hard is trying to manage all this by doing good in school, and being effective at work, and most importantly making sure I'm satisfied and happy with my results.
It would be easy to just drop one those things, but then i wouldn't be happy with myself. I go to school and want to do good because I want to better myself and just be successful. I work because I wouldn't picture myself not working. Plus there are bills and stuff i got to pay for. I have to make time for my friends and everyone else because that gives me the chance at least for a little while to relax and just calm down a little bit instead of going from work and to school.
Have I ever thought about taking the easy way out? Yea, I can't lie, I've thought about just dropping school. But that's not the way my parents raised me. So i would never take that route.
Instead what I do to manage my time I work part time, enough to pay the bills and then have some. But the major thing that helps me manage my time would be getting good sleep. Lets say one day I stay out late and have to be up early, I'm going to be walking around all day tired and I'm going to get everything done that i had to do.

Introducing Me......

Whats up everyone...My names Manuel Tito. I was born, raised and currently still living in Queens, New York. This is the start of my fourth year in Baruch. Its suppose to be my last year, but I kind of didn't do so good to start off college. But, I have myself focused now and hitting those books and doing much better. I still really don't really see a clear vision on what I want to do, I'm always changing my mind. One thing I do know is that I am going to be successful. So for the mean time I am majoring in economics and minoring in psychology.
I'm taking this management class because it is a requirement. That of course doesn't mean that this class is going to be of no use. This class might be interesting because management is part of everyday life. As mentioned in the first class, we all are managers in our different ways, we manage our lives.
