Part 3: Reflect (40 points)
In 5-7 sentences, reflect on why you created Maya’s schedule the way you did. Specifically address what you think Maya needs to apply to her schedule from the Time Management presentation, and why. Your response should explain your thought process and reasons for the change. It should not list the changes you made (we can see that in the revised calendar you submit).
