Time Strategies

After reviewing the schedule you advised for me, I think it couldn't be better. I like the idea of doing Reading A/B on Monday along with writing a story. I think it is a good idea to do Project, Project Feedback, and Blog Comments on Wednesday. This will allow me to not be too overloaded on one day yet also not have to worry about not completing enough. I think this will work well for me because it will allow me to get these out of the way earlier in the week in case I need to focus on other classes later on in the week. I might also try to do the extra credit assignments on each of the days but if I don't it will allow me to do them on the weekend when I will have more free time.

The Important Habit of Just Starting

One thing I really agreed with in this article is that I tend to put things aside to procrastinate even if I know it will hurt me in the long run. My biggest problem is to just start something. Once I start, I normally get the ball rolling but I tend to be scared to just begin especially in hard stuff. This is why I plan on setting aside at least 2 hours each day when it comes to studying for my dental exam. I think this will allow me to take it steps at a time and eventually through performing the smaller actions, the main goal won't seem as complicated. I would like to think of a Commitment Device as mentioned in the article because this way it will force me to dive into my work. I was thinking about deleting any types of social media on my phone until the process is complete. I really enjoyed this article and thought it was very encouraging in what I'm about to complete.

3 Steps to Recapture Time

I really enjoyed the idea of starting my day by setting my goals for the day. I think that this a great way to stay organized and focused. I also enjoyed the idea of learning how to say "no". I have a problem with saying no to people, mainly friends, and it tends to distract me from my goals. I need to learn to say "no" if it doesn't positively affect my goals at the beginning of each day. This article I enjoyed as well because it was straight up with saying I have to be disciplined.
