Time Strategies

 When it comes to time management, I believe that I am neither good nor bad at it.  I am always able to finish assignments and tasks in a timely manner, however, I could definitely improve as I tend to procrastinate quite a bit throughout the year.  The articles that I read were 11 Ways Unsuccessful People Mismanage Their Time by Áine Cain and Realistic Study Plans by Amanda Collins which both gave really helpful tips on studying that I will be putting to use.  The most useful tip that I got from both articles was to create a schedule.  When studying or doing assignments, I typically just do the assignments listed on the Canvas calendar and then study when I feel like it.  If I create a schedule where I spend and equal amount of time studying, doing assignments, and also taking breaks, I believe that it will help me learn more as well as decrease stress.  Overall, I will definitely try to implement some of the time management strategies that I learned today and hopefully they work out.

As for my hobbies, I only really have one hobby which is playing basketball but in recent times, it has been kind of difficult to keep that hobby going. Therefore, I really want to find a new hobby to replace basketball at least for the time being. I think that learning how to play an i...

Week 3 Story: Cat Fables

The Cats and the Dog      There once was a group of cats who were abandoned by all and living on the streets. They wandered the streets together scrounging for food and usually came up with loads of food. One day, all the cats split up to look for food. They looked around at houses, in the trash, everywhere you could think of. The cats all got together at the river and all of them came up empty. The cats looked at each other dejected and began to sulk until one cat noticed a lone dog looking for food by the river. The cats asked the dog, “Have you had any luck finding food?” The dog replied, “No, I haven’t found any food for the past three days.” The dog then ran off in a hurry as he desperately need to fill his stomach. In their heads, none of the cats could even think of the last time that they had gone three days without food. They all looked at each other and realized that they were quite lucky and that someone always has it worse than you. ("cat" by grey vi...
