Problem: How to keep your heels down while jumping
Go outside, and place a small object on the ground.
A grape, blueberry or piece of foam will work for this.
Start jumping. OPTIONS:
- Just as you would when you jump off a hurdle, jump over your shoulder for some extra stability. Lower yourself as high as you can and stop jumping.
- Try to jump as high as you can on the jump rope and be careful if you think you may fall. Stop dancing/jumping when you hear a sound like brakes.
- Each time, look down and try to squish or touch your heels to the object. Jump-and-touch ten times in a row.
- Try kicking your heels up as high as they can go before letting them down. If your heels touch the ground make sure to press them back down and build up more breath.

Answer: Each time, look down and try to squish or touch your heels to the object. Jump-and-touch ten times in a row.

Problem: How to conduct a time and motion study
Use work sampling if you have limited time to record.
In this approach, you observe the person at certain times rather than continuously. The intervals can be regular or random. OPTIONS:
- These intervals apply to all records, and when recording something of particular value, such as checks or money transfers, timers may not apply. Again, during time processing, readings may only be used if things are clear.
- You observe the person for a given time, and then extrapolate from the samples how much time is spent on each task. This type works better on tasks that have fewer components or workers that do fewer tasks overall.
- If the time is minimal, then the person can give testimony. The judge may take notes from you during cross-examination.
- Observe the individual as often as she spends time at her job. The same must be said for the person.
Answer: You observe the person for a given time, and then extrapolate from the samples how much time is spent on each task. This type works better on tasks that have fewer components or workers that do fewer tasks overall.
