As the semester quickly draws to a close I find myself
overwhelmed by the quick clutter of assignments that have piled up on me over the past weeks. The bulk of these assignments are coming specifically from two classes that I am taking. These classes are
Religion 101 and IST 195. I decided to organize this past week using
D's Do and Dues and my TO DO LIST JHEA!!!I used these strategies because this burden of going day by day unorganized and doing work as soon as I remember I have something due is too much of a headache. Do a d Dues required me to write down assignments that I have due for both IST and religion and write down when I should do them. I used the to do list on my Religion essay so I can factor in when I have time to do it when I have other engagements during the day. As a
visual learner these strategies are perfect for me because I can actually see what I have to do and structure how I go about doing work during the day.
Shame on me for not completing my IST 195 project before I went home for thanksgiving break. As a result of this I found myself having to
organize how I can do this 15+ powerpoint slide in a weeks time. I used D's Do and Dues and I was able to create a structure in which I can break down doing my powerpoint slides in
3 days.
I decided to start slides
1-5 on Tuesday, do 5-10 on Thursday, and complete the assignment on Friday.
This strategy actually managed to help me efficiently complete this project by the time the weekend came. Now I am chilling focusing on my final Tech post :).
The other strategy I chose was the
To Do List which is personally one of my favorites because it is easy to use and it can conveniently be used on my Ipod. I organized myself by completing the rest of my religion essay I started on Friday at 5. Then I can study for my Religion final which will have definitions from Islam and Buddhism. I also put down that I have a concert to perform in. This strategy is
beneficial because
it reminds me an hour before while I am listening to my music that I have something to do soon. So I could be walking around and a chime will ring telling me I have something to do soon. It also has a check box for completed task next to your task (I didn't check them off because this was prior to my tech). This strategy helped me efficiently
plan out my homework while helping me focus on other things I have going on in my life.
I agree that with such a busy time, it is hard to go day by day unorganized. I dont like Ds, Dos, and Dues but it is great that it works for you! Keep staying organized, only one more week of classes to go!
ReplyDeleteAs classes are quickly drawing to a close I think it was really good that you decided to use an organizational strategy such as the To-Do list. I really like the convenience of being able to do that from your Ipod. I hope you are able to stay organized for the last few days!
