Time management has already been
something that I have struggled with in this course, as it is not in a format
that I am used to, so I found these articles helpful and pertinent to the
beginning of this class. I really enjoyed both of the articles that I read, and
plan on employing some of the strategies suggested! Here are the articles I
read:
The
first article I read was "How Checklists Train Your Brain to be More Productive
and Goal-Oriented". This article discusses the importance and necessity of
checklists in everyday life and suggest ways to best use them in order to train
your brain and get motivated! I particularly liked the section where the
article discussed making 'smart, bite-sized goals'. When I sit down to set
goals, I often think of the big picture immediately which often causes me to
get easily overwhelmed. Setting Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic,
and Time-bound (or SMART) goals makes it easier to attain all of your goals
while remaining motivated and positive!
LifehackerThe second article I read was "Four Questions to Help You Overcome Procrastination". This article caught my eye because I have struggled with procrastination since high school. This article poses four questions that serve as a "self-interrogation" to help students to resist procrastination. The fourth and final question in this article asked about what would go wrong if the assignment wasn't done as soon as possible. This question is one that I often ask myself when considering the temptation of procrastination, and I am hoping to get better at seriously considering the consequences instead of pushing them to the side. I really enjoyed this article and I have already pinned this page, as I figure it is something I will continuously need to use throughout the semester :)
