Sample Activities:

 

·       Students will create a time management plan. Each student will make a list of goals, identify the objectives for each of the goals (process to achieve goals), and “to-do” lists. One “to-do” list for the month, the week, and the next day. Items for the next day list should be prioritized. The lists should be designed to assist the student in reaching the original list of goals. Goals should be attainable and “to do” lists should reflect a reasonable number of items.

 

·       Students will create a financial plan for themselves. The plan should show a five-year projection and should reflect both income and expenses. The plan should also reflect a plan for financial growth over the five year period.
