So, with this being an online course time management is very important. It is especially important to me with working two jobs and going to physical classes during the week as well. I am super busy! The time management schedule that was provided to me at the beginning of this class seems to be working well, so far. I'll have to see how week 2 goes and if I need to revamp anything or not. I really do appreciate the opportunity for extra credit that can be found to not only help if I fall behind or miss an assignment but to help me finish the class early. :)
The articles that I read were: 1) "How to Beat Procrastination" and 2) "The Psychology of Checklists"
"How to Beat Procrastination" - this was very helpful! I find that with my busy schedule I am more exhausted than I would normally be and I find myself procrastinating just a bit because I am so tired. This article provides some good tips and tricks on how to beat that mindset of "Oh, I'll do it later". One thing that I really appreciated is that the author tells the audience to "...be kind to yourself.." This is something that I always seem to have trouble with. I am my worst critic, I am very hard on myself, especially when it comes to my academics and in some cases this is my downfall. https://hbr.org/2016/07/how-to-beat-procrastination
"The Psychology of Checklists" - this was also very helpful! I am a list maker. I make lists all the time because I am afraid that I will forget something very important. However my lists are sporadic. They're written on a scrap of paper I find or sometimes (most of the time) the palm of my hand. This article definitely gave me good advice on how our minds work when it comes to checklists and how to utilize them properly. Another thing that was mentioned in this article is that when it comes to checklists one has to be REALISTIC. I have a habit of cramming anything and everything into a checklist and half the time I am unable to fully finish the list. https://blog.trello.com/the-psychology-of-checklists-why-setting-small-goals-motivates-us-to-accomplish-bigger-things?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=linkedin&utm_campaign=checklists
