Ashford University Doctorate Schooling Self Management Plan Discussion

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, please read Chapters 1 and 2 in Kninicki and Williams (2018), and review the article by Sopon (2017), “Time Management in Universities – Best Practices and Future Developments.”

One of the biggest challenges of pursuing a doctoral degree is managing the responsibilities of classwork and balancing those responsibilities with career, family life, and personal responsibilities. Creating a self-management plan for completing your classwork and meeting class deadlines can help you be more successful.

In an initial post of at least 300 words, and Citing Within Your Paper (Links to an external site.) at least two required scholarly sources,

• Discuss how you plan to practice self-management during your doctoral studies.
• Describe how you plan to manage class requirements and balance those requirements with your other responsibilities.
• Assess how your need for self-management aligns with the kinds of responsibilities managers might have for their employees in the workplace.
