So, the next task is to share steps for my persuasive speech with you! Found definition of Time Menegement Research and read more about my theme. I learn a lot of information from Internet and from some books about Time Menegement ( "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change” by Stephen R. Covey,  “The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich”). Took notes. Post the text based on the time management on Instagram and asked people to share their examples.  Spent two hours observing the people answers and recording examples that illustrated a lack of time management. Watch a lot of videos about people who cannot organaize themself and find problems of it.  ......to be continued. 

Having clarified my purpose and set out measurable objectives, by no means should I continue with writing an outline. I should to try creative thinking methods first then I will learn to think in a more creative way and the ideas will flow. In the book we have 3 main and effective methods. The first method   was invented by Edward de Bono, famous for his books and lectures on “lateral thinking”. So, his lateral thinking method consists of the following. You should take a subject on which you are preparing a speech, pick a word at random from the dictionary and then try and make a connection between the two, even if it sounds stupid. Edward de Bono suggests this method for getting the brain to work in a creative, lateral way. The next is a brainstorming method. It is a method of generating ideas using free associations.

I have a lots of tasks for this week! And they're very interesting, I may say! Firstly, I should to choose a theme for my persuasive speech! When I think about this, there is the theme about Self-Help in my mind. But to clarify the purpose of my speech I have questions from the book. – Why should I want to talk about this? On the eve of each new year, people commit to making lifestyle changes they believe will usher in personal satisfaction and happiness. But while an entire industry exists to help people meet these pressing goals, most individuals still flounder. How many times can people try to lose weight, quit smoking, cut back on alcohol consumption, or try to find a more suitable purpose in life? One answer: As many times as it takes to get it right. – Why should anybody want to listen to me? Lasting change is difficult to achieve because many of our habits are deeply ingrained, and certain core personality attributes may be immutable. But all habits and charac...

I was kindly answered. Then I asked...
