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.

I would love to take what I have learned from these videos and apply it to the subjects that I am struggling with. If we all keep working at a certain task or subject, I believe that we can all have the "not yet" perspective on life. I was diagnosed with ADD about a year and a half ago. Before transferring to OU, classes were not that difficult for me at previous colleges. When I came to OU, I realized that I do not understand more difficult concepts as fast as everyone else. My short term memory is also lacking and memorization can be tough. But when I look at subjects with a more positive view than the alternative, I tend to ...

Week 11 Extra Credit Reading: Dante's Inferno Part A

Link to Image Here Dante's Divine Comedy, translated by Tony Kline  Link Here Dante and Virgil   This first section or chapter of the story was hard to follow for me.
