Time Strategies

The articles I read were The Important Habit of Just Starting (article link) by Jory Mackay and 3 Steps to Recapture Time (article link) by Joynicole Martinez, which had some useful tips in it! One tip was to "learn how to diet in a candy store," which pretty much means that we need to put in long and tedious hours of work with no promise of a reward. It is like remembering you are on a diet and not caving into the pressure of all the tempting candy around you in a candy store. The other useful tip is to "practice the art of no." I think this is such a practical tip for life and that we can only do so much and we have to know our boundaries. I believe my biggest time challenge is just following my schedule. I can have everything written down but if I do not put action behind it, in the end it does not matter. For Week 2, I will stick with the suggested schedule I made for myself last week. I want to try it out and if it does not work, I will adjust it. I believe working ahead is the key to manage this class. However, working ahead is difficult for me because truthfully I have always followed the deadlines. Now, I will attempt to work ahead and use deadlines as a last minute resort.
