Time Strategies


Studying is the key to success. Source: Wikipedia

From the Psychology of Checklists article by Lauren Marchese, I learned the importance of breaking large tasks up into smaller tasks and making checklists. Although I occasionally made checklists of the things I needed to get done, I realize I need to try and make more lists this semester since I am taking a heavy class load this semester. I believe it will help me keep track of assignments and other obligations more easily.
From the Realistic Study Plans article by Amanda Collins, I learned that I need to build a study plan that is easy to stick with and not forget about. The key concepts I learned is evaluating time and making realistic study sessions that will fit into my schedule. I need to make sure I know how much time each assignment, research, paper, or other tasks will take, even if it means overestimating the allotted times for each. This is also something I will try this semester due to my busy schedule. It will be the perfect opportunity to test it out.
My biggest time challenges are wasting my time. I find myself browsing through useless websites, scrolling through Facebook and Instagram, and wasting valuable time where I could be studying for my classes or finishing up assignments early. With the changes I am going to make, I hope to make my semester a bit easier on myself!

My favorite and best class from last semester was Human Sexuality with Professor Dennison because I loved the way he taught the subject. He was funny and made the topics not embarrassing to talk about on a daily basis. I also learned some pretty useful things in the class that will help me in the future. My biggest accomplishments last semester were completing and submitting my application for Nursing a...

Turtle graffiti. Source: Pixabay   Long, long ago, there was a castle in the foothills of the of the Bucegi Mountains in Romania, was an elegant castle fit for the king of kings. At this castle lived King Arjun and his 2 daughters, Eshani and Karishma. One day, on a warm autumn evening, the two girls went out to play in the valley, not far from the castle. After playing with the rocks and mud by the river, Eshani and Karishma came across a strange looking creature upon a hill that resembled a dragon and became fearful. "Should we go tell father?" asked Eshani. "Yes, let's go before it destroys the valley and heads for our home!" said a concerned Karishma. The girls quickly ran inside and screamed for their father. King Arjun was in the middle of polishing his armor when the girls interrupted him. "What is going on?" said King Arjun in a firm and slightly agitated manner. "There is a dragon in the river that runs through the valley...
