© 2012 Wadsworth, Cengage Learning FOCUS TV Discussion Questions 1.FOCUS correspondent, Kara Klenk, begins this episode of FOCUS TV by saying that “It wasn’t long ago that times were simpler.” What does she mean, exactly? Is she right? 2.Do you ever feel as if you’re “juggling,” like Derek Johnson in FOCUS? What aspects of your life fit that description? 3.Students interviewed in this episode comment that they manage time by not sleeping, waiting until the very last minute, or more productively, by using their planners, PDAs, or cell phones. How do you manage time— or do you find time to be unmanageable? 4.According to interviewee Brianna Gordon, a time management expert, what is more important than which tool you use to manage your time? Do you agree? 5.Many people spend so much time worrying about all they have to do that they end up wasting valuable time worrying. Time management, Kara says, is all about making good choices. Make the commitment, using whichever tool you prefer, and then just “do it.” Will you commit to taking her advice this week? If so, identify how.
