Determining which activities take priority each morning operationalizes the principle of planning. Asking family members to run errands or prepare meals makes use of delegating. Reviewing reasons for going to school with a spouse helps gain support from and collaboration with a significant other. Reserving 3 hours daily for reading, organizing notes, and studying is an example of daily planning. Substituting recreational activity for study time describes failure to implement daily and weekly plans. Delaying complex tasks until a large block of time is available is an example of procrastination. Minitasking would be a better solution.
