Central Park Although the name "Central Park" suggests that it has a clear organizing feature, New York City's famous green space has no official center. There is no formal walkway that cuts through the park or monument that marks its middle. Instead of symmetry, Central Park contains winding paths and an ever-changing landscape that appears random and rustic. Despite appearances, the park is an achievement of planning and engineering. Years of citizen campaigning for a park on Manhattan convinced the state to purchase 750 acres of land in 1853. After a chance meeting with the project organizer, Frederick Law Olmsted who was raised in Connecticut and had been deeply impressed by the public parks of England applied for the job of Park Superintendent in 1857. Olmsted was appointed Superintendent, and workers began clearing the land for construction. The park now needed a design. Calvert Vaux, a British architect who had helped design the grounds of the White House and the Smithsonian Institution, asked Olmsted to collaborate with him. The two developed a plan that would give city dwellers a tranquil green space. After a vote by park commissioners, Vaux and Olmsted became the official designers of Central Park. Creation of the park required years of construction. Thanks in part to the use of 166 tons of gunpowder, the swampy land was transformed into gentle slopes and scenic vistas through the movement of 2.5 million cubic yards of earth. By the time construction finished, the park included 58 miles of walking paths and 7 man-made bodies of water. Today, Olmsted and Vaux's work of art welcomes about 40 million visitors each year. Without having a single orientation itself, Central Park's natural and open design made it a central escape from the noise and unyielding grid of the city that surrounds it. Which of the following paragraphs accurately summarizes the key points of this passage?

Everyday life can be filled with a long list of things that need to be done. Without the necessary skills to meet these demands, it is easy to lose track of deadlines, forget appointments, or misplace important information. By consistently implementing the skills of effective time management and organization, even the most hectic of schedules can become more manageable. The most important aspect of practicing effective time management is learning to create a schedule that provides the time you need to complete necessary tasks. An effective way to do this is to determine whether you will have time to add a new task to your schedule. Digital calendars, task management applications, and paper agendas are all widely available tools to manage time and keep track of obligations. By making a habit of recording tasks and events as soon as you receive them, you will maintain a constant record of what time you have available. By effectively managing your time through diligent scheduling, you will always know what needs to be done and when you have time to do it. Maintaining an organized environment is an important part of finishing tasks quickly and effectively. One way to do this is by creating designated locations for different types of information. Whether the information is in the form of physical file folders, books, or digital materials, organization will reduce the time you spend searching for the resources and information you need. Only with consistent practice do the skills of time management and organization become effective tools for managing your everyday schedule. When practiced on a regular basis, these skills provide you with more control as well as a more orderly approach to whatever kind of schedule you might have.
