Time Strategies for Success

I think some of the strategies listed in the assignment section were helpful. The one i found most effective was the article "How to Beat Procrastination". I am usually a big procrastinator when it comes to assignments that have a due date that wouldn't occur anytime soon so when i started my second year here, i started incorporating better tactics by living by the statement "Work now, Play later". After reading the article, it gave me great ideas especially the one about thinking about how it would feel to be finished with an assignment. I could relate it to having weight lifted off of my shoulders, just like how i feel when i finish writing a paper.
      Another tool I could relate to while looking at the article was the use of checklists. Instead of checklists, i started using the reminder app on my phone to remind me of when i should do my assignments. Because of that, I saw my grades improve greatly and my production in a day being shifted into something more positive and proactive. I feel like if you put a greater emphasis on a task or see the rewards of completing a task as some sort of a goal a person should strive for then they will achieve it quicker than expected. With the amount of the assignments that are listed for this class, I think the majority of students will gain better time management skills without realizing it.

Introduction to a Social Introvert

I didn't really have a favorite class from last semester due to the workload/scheduling but if i had to choose then i would say that a class that i liked the most then it would have to be Economics of Discrimination because it broke down the economics of topics such as marriage and earnings and the costs of getting married and divorce. We also talked about wages and earnings between men and women regarding race.             My biggest accomplishment from last year was that i was able to pass my classes because i was in 3 Economic electives for my major and an MIS class so juggling the...

Week 12 Story: The Tale of O'Reilly

Image
There once was a man named O'Reilly who lived in the town of Apollonia with his wife, Meredith. They were living in the poorest section of the town and had spent days and nights wishing that money would fall into their lap. One morning before going to work, O'Reilly had awakened to the sound of a thud on the front door. O'Reilly then slid out of bed to see who or what has arrived on his porch and found an eviction notice before he could open the locks on the door. Meredith follows behind him asking O'Reilly what he is holding and he tells her about them needing to come up with money within a certain amount of days otherwise they will be put on the streets. "What are we going to do? It is almost time for winter and we cannot be without a place to stay," said Meredith. "I know, I know my dear. Hopefully, Mr. O'Boyle will be generous enough to grant me a raise for my birthday since I have been helping him around the shop for quite a spell," said...
