In our fast-paced world, the term multitasking is often thrown around. Why just answer emails when you can answer emails
and, at the same time, watch television with your spouse? Many assume that doing multiple tasks simultaneously allows
one to finish tasks sooner, allowing for more time to rest or enjoyable activities. However, this is not likely the case.

For this Discussion, you explore the quadratic pass method—a mathematical process for improving the management of
your time.

RESOURCES

To prepare for this Discussion:

Review the video on how to manage your time more effectively according to machines.
Think about four to eight (4–8) tasks you perform daily.
Consider how you might use the quadratic pass method, from the video, to minimize contact switches between these
tasks. How might this method help you better manage your time?
Think about whether you feel it is possible to eliminate all contact switches in your daily tasks.
Think about how you would rank the tasks you selected in order of importance. What does your ranked task list look
like?
Reflect on why you chose to rank the tasks in the order you did.
Think about your tasks based on the quadratic pass method. Consider how much longer it might take you to complete
these tasks if they are completed in random or chronological order rather than ranking them first.

How to Manage Your Time More Effectively Transcript
(ines/tran

With these thoughts in mind:

Post at least 2 paragraphs responding to the following prompts:

Paragraph 1:
Briefly outline four to eight (4–8) tasks you perform daily.
Explain how you might use the quadratic pass method, outlined in the video, to minimize contact switches between
these tasks.
Explain why this method might help you better manage your time.
Explain whether you feel, in your case, it is possible to eliminate all contact switches to one set schedule. Why, or
why not?

Paragraph 2:
Describe how you ranked the tasks you selected, in Part 1, in order of importance using the ranking method. What
does your task list look like after ranking it?
Explain why you chose to rank the tasks in the order you did.
Explain how much longer it would take you to complete your task list if you chose to rank them first versus
completing them in random or chronological order using the quadratic pass method presented.

Read a selection of your classmates’ postings.

Response 1: Respond to at least one classmate using the following:

Your boss is convinced you must first rank your daily tasks in order of importance to be most efficient. You would like to
convince your boss otherwise by using your classmate’s data.

BY DAY 3

BY DAY 5

How many tasks did your classmate propose? Choose a time between 30 and 90 minutes that each task will take.
If each task takes the same amount of time, calculate your classmate’s total time to complete the workload.
Then, look at your classmate’s response for Paragraph 2 in which the quadratic pass method was used. How much
longer will the list of tasks take if this method was used?
Use this information to write a 1-paragraph memo to your boss to justify why the ranking of tasks should not be used.
Explain how the company would benefit by using your method instead.

Response 2: Respond to at least one other classmate using the following:

Review the number of tasks your classmate chose to complete. Use this as a starting point.
Now, add two data points below this point and two above this point to show how the number of tasks could vary day
to day. Consider these number of tasks your x values.
Choose a time for each task between 30 and 90 minutes, assume each tasks takes the same amount of time. How long
will your peers list of tasks take give the varying number of tasks.
Write an ordered pair for each situation (number of tasks, time to complete)
If you graphed this what shape would you expect? Why?
