Month 3 · Plan tasks with checklists and evidence
Four relative self-study weeks on observable outputs, checklists, estimated versus observed time and file versions. Adjust your pace; no daily duration or live classes are promised. One monthly activity M03 combines the exercises.
This is the developed Month 3 learning resource, not the entire twelve-month course. The four exercises form one monthly activity M03. Reading, personal marks and self-scores do not verify academic completion.
Complete fictional source F3:tasks and observation log
Fictional work window:today10:00–10:45. Rule:nearest internal deadline first. Tasks are independent and use F3 directly. Only B and A have observed durations; no actual business action occurred.
| Task | Local output | Estimated minutes | Internal deadline | Observed minutes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Reviewed3-reference copy | 20 | Today16:00 | 24 |
| B | Reply draft,not sent | 10 | Today11:00 | 12 |
| C | Four file-name proposals | 15 | Tomorrow10:00 | Not observed |
Complete product reference:N01 notebook COP 8000,stock unknown;L01 pencil COP 1200,stock6;C01 folder COP 2500,stock4. A’s working copy differs only in N01 price9000. B drafts for one N01 and two L01:products COP 10400,stock and delivery not confirmed. C’s four fictional files and their versions are listed in week4. No external tools are connected.
Week 1 · Define an output before filling the schedule
Goal: Turn vague tasks into observable outputs and explicit priorities.
“Update something” does not define completion. A useful task states input, output, how to check it and what is excluded. Here reviewing a sheet does not mean publishing it; drafting a reply does not mean sending it. Clarify the boundary before discussing productivity or savings.
Priority needs a rule, not intuition alone. This case uses the nearest internal deadline first:B, then A, then C. It is not universal business policy. Dependencies or another urgency could require a different agreement. F3 tasks are independent because A and B can use the original F3 source directly.
An estimate supports planning and may change after observation. Do not use invented durations to make external promises. Separate estimated duration, observed duration and a commitment to someone else. The45-minute window is part of the exercise, not course attendance or a promise of academic completion within that time.
Case for review
It is10:00 on a fictional day and45 work minutes are available. B is due today at11:00,A today at16:00,C tomorrow at10:00. Nothing has been reserved, published or sent.
Your activity
For A,B,C write input, observable output and excluded action. Order tasks using the case rule. Sum estimates and state whether interruption or extra review time remains.
Worked feedback — compare after trying
Order B–A–C. Estimates10+20+15=45 minutes, with no margin. B produces a draft,A a reviewed copy,C a naming proposal. This is not sending, publishing or renaming real files. An interruption requires replanning.
Supporting artifact 1: three outputs, boundaries and a justified order.
Week 2 · Write an evidence-based checklist
Goal: Design checkable steps and separate pending, draft and reviewed states.
A checklist is more than action verbs. Each step should show what was checked and against which source. Avoid “check everything” without detail. For A, open the fictional copy, compare references with F3, correct differences and note gaps. The output must show checks, not just a tick.
F3 lists N01 notebook atCOP 8000 with unknown stock; L01 pencil atCOP 1200 with stock6; C01 folder atCOP 2500 with stock4. The working copy has N01 at9000,L01 at1200,C01 at2500. These are all case facts. Correct the wrong price while preserving its source; do not turn unknown stock into zero or availability.
States must distinguish pending work from observed work. Use pending, in preparation, awaiting review and reviewed within the exercise. Only use reviewed after recording the defined checks. A task state proves no sale, received money or business-performance improvement. It also does not establish the learner’s academic assessment.
Case for review
Task A says “review three references”. A weak checklist says “correct, publish and say done”, combining local review with an unauthorized action.
Your activity
Create six steps with evidence and a fictional reviewer role, not an invented teaching-team member. Identify the N01 correction and stock unknown. Explain what must stop before publication.
Worked feedback — compare after trying
Possible steps:1 open copy and cite F3;2 check N01;3 check L01;4 check C01;5 record changes and unknowns;6 deliver for final review. N01 changes9000→8000; L01/C01 prices stay. N01 stock remains unknown. No publication occurs; the fictional reviewer role is not human academic approval.
Supporting artifact 2: six-step checklist, source, correction and unknowns.
Week 3 · Recalculate when observation changes
Goal: Use observed durations without hiding gaps or inventing savings.
The initial schedule is a hypothesis. After observing B and A, update the plan and preserve the comparison. Replacing estimates with results erases useful evidence. Keep both and explain the changed decision; do not turn inconvenient timing into a false completion claim.
The fictional observation log records B12 minutes and A24 with no additional breaks. B runs10:00–10:12 and A10:12–10:36. Nine minutes remain until10:45. C was estimated at15, leaving a six-minute gap if completed in one block. Correct arithmetic recognizes the gap; AI cannot guarantee it disappears.
Possible choices depend on owner authorization: reschedule C, divide a clearly defined part, or change priorities. C is due tomorrow here, so another slot is reasonable to propose. If only part is done, mark in progress and record the remainder. Spending some minutes on a task does not prove it finished.
Case for review
A summary says “all three tasks finished in45 minutes”, but only B12 and A24 were observed. There is no observed output for C.
Your activity
Complete estimated and observed schedules, remaining time and C’s gap. Propose a reasoned decision. Separately add a five-minute review after A and recalculate without changing original observations.
Worked feedback — compare after trying
Base:45−12−24=9; C15 needs6 more. Completing it immediately would end at10:51. C completion is unsupported. With extra review5, only4 minutes remain and C needs11 more. Proposing rescheduling is not executing it, nor proof of financial savings or loss.
Supporting artifact 3: estimate/observation schedule, two calculations and proposed decision.
Week 4 · Version files and assemble M03
Goal: Build one traceable monthly deliverable and apply the approved rubric carefully.
Task C organizes names; it does not delete or rename real documents. Complete fictional file source:“ficha_final.docx” is oldF0; “ficha_final_final.docx” is F3 awaiting review; “respuesta_v2.txt” is draft B; “notas.txt” contains unknowns. Propose names stating content, version and state without hiding history.
M03 combines task definitions, checklist, schedule and a file-name/change map. These are supporting exercises within one monthly macro activity. Annual policy keeps twelve activities, one per month, plus a final portfolio. Clear evidence matters more than producing many duplicate files.
Use approved rubric v1 as self-review help:facts/sources, artifact/process, data/human review and reasoning/limits, scored0–2 each. Minimum 6/8,no zero, plus human review of actual artifacts. Self-scoring or personal marks do not verify the month. Do not invent a reviewer, human grade or completion statement; that formal workflow is separate.
Case for review
One package keeps the checklist but calls F3 “published” and C “finished” without evidence. Another explains sources, timing and gaps but fails to map old file names to proposals.
Your activity
Prepare four name mappings and reasons without executing changes. Assemble M03 with the first three artifacts, file map, limits and reasoned rubric. Explain what was verified in the model and what was only proposed.
Worked feedback — compare after trying
Possible names:ficha_F0_historica.docx;ficha_F3_por_revisar.docx;respuesta_B_borrador.txt;pendientes_F3.txt. Preserve mappings to originals. Correct “published” and “C finished”:neither is proved. A self-score2+1+2+1=6 with no zero is not human review. The package documents decisions, not external actions or business outcomes.
Monthly activity M03: one package of outputs, checklist, schedule, versions and rubric.

Keep your work locally. Formal review requires actual artifacts and an authorized human reviewer. No certificate, enrollment or benefit is issued by this page. The other eleven months and final portfolio remain separate parts of the annual program.
