Believe it or not, you may be sabotaging your own efforts to take control of your time
and life one possibility is that you fear the consequences of a balanced life. In
other words, your destructive habits might actually be serving a purpose in your life,
and you fear letting them go because you might find yourself in situations that you
dont know how to handle!

usage of time management techniques:

1) You would finally have time to pursue your dreams. .. Even though you want to
pursue your dreams and you long for the day when they become your reality, you may
also be frightened of the ways they would change your life.
2) Your relationships might become more intimate. Sometimes we use chaos and
business to avoid confronting issues that are painful for us. It seems easier to keep
avoiding the issue.
3) You would be able to hear your inner voice more clearly. .. If you get control of
your life, you may suddenly find yourself faced with the need to make decisions that
would be uncomfortable and scary.
4) You would have more time to help others. Somewhere deep inside you might feel
justified that you cant possibly help others when your own life is so out of control!
5) You would claim full responsibility for your life... A scattered, chaotic life allows
you to remain in a victim status, so you dont have to face the fear of owning up to
the way your life is right now.

Ejercicio 2: Lea el siguiente texto y complete las oraciones que se presentan a

Education encompasses both the teaching and learning of knowledge, proper conduct,
and technical competency. It thus focuses on the cultivation of skills, trades or
professions, as well as mental, moral & aesthetic development.
Formal education consists of systematic instruction, teaching and training by
professional teachers. This consists of the application of pedagogy and the
development of curricula. In a liberal education tradition, teachers draw on many
different disciplines for their lessons, including psychology, philosophy, information
technology, linguistics, biology, and sociology. Teachers in specialized professions such
as astrophysics, law, or zoology may teach only in a narrow area, usually as professors
at institutions of higher learning. There is much specialist instruction in fields of trade
for those want specific skills, such as required to be a pilot, for example. Finally,
there is an array of educational opportunity in the informal sphere- for this reason,
society subsidizes institutions such as museums and libraries. Informal education also
includes knowledge and skills learned and refined during the course of life, including
education that comes from experience in practicing a profession.

Education systems are established to provide education and training, in most cases for
children and the young. A curriculum defines what students should know, understand

and be able to do as the result of education. A teaching profession delivers teaching

which enables learning, and a system of polices, regulations, examinations, structures
and funding enables teachers to teach to the best of their abilities. Sometimes
education systems can be used to promote doctrines or ideals as well as knowledge,
which is known as social engineering. This can lead to political abuse of the system,
particularly in totalitarian states and government. Education is a broad concept; it
refers to all the experiences in which children can learn something. Instruction refers
to the intentional facilitating of learning toward identified goals, delivered either by
an instructor or other forms. Teaching refers to learning facilitated by a real live
instructor. Training refers to learning toward preparing learners with specific
knowledge, skills, or abilities that can be applied immediately.
