What does it really mean (concretely) to “Make Time Visible”?  Why is this such a big issue for students more so today than ever before?  What are some strategies and ideas for making time visible?   Is there an ideal day or time to create calendars and checklists? Are there instances where MTV is unhelpful or detrimental?
