Time Strategies
For time management strategies I think that it is very important that you plan out everything of how you are going to complete your work on a weekly basis, not only for this module but for the rest of our classes. What I prefer to do is I have a whiteboard up in my room strictly for planning out my week not only for college but for y life in general, and in my opinion I think a white board is way better than using a diary etc. Its way more engaging and beats having to carry around a journal and beats having to write with a pen and paper. You can get creative with the whiteboard.
So, for the two articles that I read
I firstly looked at the titles to see which ones suited me and what ones would
help me improve on my time management and planning skills. The two I chose where:
· Time Management Tips Just for Creatives by Amanda Oliver
· How To Best Procrastination by Caroline Webb
The reason as to why I chose
these two is because firstly I am a creative person and wanted to know more
about being creative in planning out my time management. Secondly, I am also a
big procrastinator, so I needed to look at new ways of beating this
procrastination curse that I have. Overall, I did find these articles useful and
will use the tips that I have learned in this semester and in my daily life.
One of the biggest things that I
have learned for this semester is for procrastination. What I noticed last year
is that I would commonly leave everything to the last minute and then the
quality and quantity would turn out to be disappointing, but what I learned from
the procrastination article is that if you visualize your work being done correctly,
and how good that feels when you hand it up the relief you get well if you just
do the work your supposed to do each week rather than leaving it and stressing
about it all it’s a much greater feeling. So, that’s what I am using for this
semester is to visualize what it will be like to get the work and assignments
done and have no worries about leaving it till last minute, I cant wait to have
that amazing feeling of knowing when you have completed something.
At first time management did
scare me a little looking at last year the way I ran but now especially for
this year I have fixed all that. When I bought the whiteboard, it was a life
saver. I was able to plan out my day to day tasks and my weekly tasks and it
would keep me on top of my game and ahead of the curve. So, I am happy to work
with the schedule that I have planned out for myself.
