Time Strategies

My schedule for this class: 2 hours for reading on Monday, 2 hours for storytelling and commenting on Tuesday, and 2 hours for working on projects on Wednesday will work perfectly!  I am sure I could find some down time to do the extra credit assignments as well!

One thing I have done really well in college is time management.  It has led me to become a successful student who is also able to enjoy free time with friends.  I read The Psychology of Checklists by Lauren Marchese, and I think her advise is spot on.  I've time-bound checklists for the last three semesters and they have been incredibly useful.  I don't forget about assignments that are due.  Consequently, they get completed on time.  Also, there is no better feeling than checking finished tasks of a list and watching the list get shorter and shorter.  Checking an item off a list actually released dopamine in your brain!

The Myth of Too Busy by Tim Grahl is a great article.  I always find myself complaining about being too busy when the truth is that I could have prioritized my time better.  As an effort to combat being "too busy" I plan to start going to bed earlier.  I am really good at wasting time between 10 pm and midnight.  If I used these hours for sleep, I could wake up earlier and have extremely productive mornings!
