Time Strategies

Time management is something I have always struggled with. I spend so much time organizing calendars and writing to do lists that I do not actually follow through with my desired tasks. Just starting with the first article, I have learned so much. Creating the right environment and not focusing on small tasks before they add up are two things I struggle with. I need to implement the article involving the four questions. If I were to ask myself these questions daily, my day-to-day would be more productive and I believe that I would be less stressed. During the school semester, I never feel like I have free time. Most of the problem is because I procrastinate work. I spend more time thinking of what I have to do instead of doing it, which brings me to the next article that I am guilty of. This article is called The Myth of Too Busy. I try not to use the word busy because someone should never be too busy to spare time for those they care about, or responsibilities that need to be fulfilled. The article talks about prioritizing our time. Reading these articles has only validated what I try to avoid, and that is that I am not successful at planning my day-to-day. I will continue to work on this and hopefully improve by the end of the semester.

Back up and Review

Reality This week has been tough for me with work and my school load. I am working on managing my time more effectively. I am going to get caught up with everything soon. I have group projects in all my classes except this one. It can just be challenging to find the time. My favorite graphic is the girl running away from the ghost with “reality” written on it. She is running into a book, which sums up my life in so many ways. I love reading to get out of my own head. It is a chance to explore another world and feel emotions that the characters are feeling. It is nice to escape responsibilities sometimes. Taking a bath and reading is my favorite thing to do. Failing Superman was the most interesting video I found. I am a little on the nerdy side, so using superheroes to explain information about different people and what others are capable of. It talks about asking everyone to do the same task when everyone has a different set of skills. 

All the Assignments...

I am intrigued by the stories we get to write about. I love reading stories from different parts of the world. I am very excited for the extra credit and I know making time for the extra credit is difficult, but worth it. I love when a professor takes the time to set up their class in such a unique way. It really shows that they love what they do and I cannot be more appreciative. I am ready to give this class my full attention. Too Tired to Function

Week 8 Reading and Writing

I think that the Laos stories were my favorite. All of the stories involved animals or people and taught you lessons. Each short story made an impact on the reader. I also believe that I could try harder when it comes to the stories and reading notes. I could try different reading and writing strategies. I have not done creative writing other than for this class in a very long time. Business writing has been at the forefront of my mind. Short, sweet, and to the point has been my strategy. Because there are so many choices and venues I could take with my writing, it can make it difficult to start each story. Starting is the hardest part. Reading and Writing
