It said to prioritize by importance using the ABC method. This is extremely important because we fall behind due to a lack of prioritizing assignments which leads to procrastination since we don't really know what to start with or do at the time.  Part 2: Ethics I learned a lot this week through our different course material.

We put together a "company" and how we can help customers through our unique skills and abilities.  Team Resume
