My Time Strategies

I am very bad at managing my time. When classes start, all the work add up and it feels like I never have any free time, there is always something I could be doing. Many times I wait till the last minute to finish my work and I always regret it in the end. Like the article 'How to Beat Procrastination' said, we do thing that are easier to do and take less times rather than the harder thing. It is a great strategy  to make our benefits feel more than our efforts. Another thing I liked was telling others you are going to do something because you are more likely going to do it. The next article I picked was 'How to build a realistic study plan that you'll actually stick to'. Many times during college when exam come up, I have done last minute studying because I keep telling myself I will do it tomorrow. Most of my time I spend finishing up work for the class and then I get tired so I don't study. My strategy is to study 30 minutes each day about the thing we learned in class, that way it will be refreshed in my mind. I also plan to finish the homework as soon as I get it, rather than waiting closer to the due date. I have tried these strategies but never held myself to it but if this becomes a habit it will be easier to follow and do.

    Pranali, I absolutely LOVE this image: it's about classes starting... but with echoes of the icons of Indian goddesses with all their arms, each hand holding a different object (and Ravana, the rakshasa king, has 10 heads and 20 arms: talking about multitasking!). And you have also identified the biggest problem with procrastination for most college students: by the time you are in college, procrastination has become a HABIT. Habits are hard to change because you have to develop new habits instead. But it's a good challenge, and one of the things I like about online classes is that you really can create your own schedule and see if you can develop new habits over the course of the semester. Even if we cannot grow more arms, ha ha.

Introduction: A little about me

Image
Hello everyone, my major is Psychology. I want to do my masters in Speech-Language Pathology. After I finish with college, I want to be a Speech Therapist. I also want to move to Texas in the future, I know what you are thinking, boo Texas, but I will still always be a Sooner. I am currently a senior, this will be my 4th year in the University of Oklahoma. My biggest accomplishment last year was figuring out what exactly I wanted to do after I graduate and what I am passionate about which had been a constant struggle for me. This summer I took a trip to Chicago with my sister, it was great exploring a new city. I really enjoy traveling and going to different places. My goal is to visit all 50 states one day, I am almost half way there which is exciting. My favorite  T.V.  show is Friends, just like every other person out there. I enjoy all types of movies but comedy would probably be my favorite. Bollywood movies are also my favorite, they are very different from American movi...

Week 9, Kunti's wishes

Image
There once was a little girl, Kunti, who was extremely sad. She was sad because she never got anything she wanted even after working so hard for it. She prayed and prayed each night hoping to get her wishes fulfilled but not with an honest heart. She was asking out of greed.  One night she is laying in bed next to her sister and just thinking about why she can’t get a job even after she had applied to so many places.  Kunti closes her eyes and prays “ God, why do you put me through so much even after I do good deeds?”  God replies, “ I am only teaching you things that will help you in your future. I am not punishing you my child. Just wait a little more time and your wishes will come true”  Kunti thought to herself “this gives me hope. I have been waiting so long for a job so I can life properly with my sister”  Kunti and her sister have been on there own for the past five years due to the loss of their parents in a car accident. At th...
