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 2 Story: The Lost Prince

   (Old Castle by Tanya K via Flickr )      The young prince of a large kingdom once got lost in the slums of the kingdom after straying away from his caretaker. The slums were known to be dangerous as crime was commonplace in the area. Guards from the city were present in the slums but many were corrupt and overlooked crime if given money. The prince was now alone in this dangerous place and looked all around for the exit of the slums to get back to the city. Unable to find the exit, the prince decided to go ask a guard for help. The young child explained to the guard that he was the young prince of the kingdom and that he had gotten lost, so he needed help getting back. After looking around for hours, the prince’s clothes had gotten dirty and the guard upon seeing these clothes, thought the prince to be just another poor commoner. The guard told the prince that if he needed help, he would have to pay to which the prince replied that he had no money. After the prince replied,
