Time Strategies

This semester I have a pretty busy schedule, so I know that time management will play a huge role in my success in all of my classes. I am not necessarily bad about managing my time but I am a huge procrastinator. Sometimes it is because I am really busy and just push the little things aside and other times it is because I'm not busy and just don't want to do the work until I have to. I know cutting out my procrastination would allows me to be more efficient, but it is just a hard habit to break. Another goal for this semester is to be better about my procrastination.  For this assignment I read, 3 Steps to Recapture Time by Joynicole Martinez and 4 Questions to Help You Overcome Procrastination by Peter Banerjea. Both articles were very good and gave a lot of tips. From the article by Peter Banejea, I really like the idea of having question to ask myself to help me avoid/overcome procrastination. I also like how it gives the advice to focus only on three or four tasks for the day and not moving on until the task is complete. For me a big part of my procrastination is being overwhelmed by the things I have to do, but if I broke them down and only focused on a few at a time, I feel like it would really help me to overcome it. From the article by Joynicole Martinez, I think the idea of taking the first 15 minutes of my day to reflect on what I want to get done and what I need to do would be a great way to help keep stress, my time, and my procrastination under control. Honestly, I have never really had a time management strategy, but I will definitely be creating one this semester.

  1. This is such a helpful article you have written! I feel like after reading this, I am more aware of my own procrastination habits. Sometimes, I stress about stressing, which is the opposite of beneficial. At the same time, however, I think about what life would be without the everyday stresses. Although we would be living more leisurely, I think we would become bored and maybe even unmotivated. In my opinion, stress brings out the best! I hope your semester goes great.
