READ

Did you make a New Year’s goal to manage your time more effectively? If yes, you are in luck. This month’s overview of Blake Prepares for Manufacturing includes a review of Chapter 3; Time Management. In this chapter Blake learns all about this critical skill for manufacturing, and life. Blake overcomes an unsurmountable chore list (….5 items) and a classic case of procrastination by creating his weekly schedule. Through Blake’s experience you will learn how the principles of time management in manufacturing can solve problems at home too.

BUILD

This month we encourage you to put your activity on a timer and teach your students and kids to perform on the clock! The actions in these activities are not specific to manufacturing but the concept of working a task against a defined period of time is critical to effective manufacturing.
