Time Strategies

Time Management


It's really important, and is something that I have struggled with greatly throughout my college career especially. I always tried to remember everything I needed to do. That is not inherently what the problem was; the main problem was that I tried to do this without writing anything down. This led to either completely forgetting to do somethings, or not leaving myself enough time to complete said tasks. Eventually I wound up getting a planner and actually utilizing it, and ever since then I have become far more in control of how I spend my time. 

The first article I read was titled "The Important Habit of just Starting". This was an interesting article to me. I did not necessarily learn anything new from this article per say, but it was a new way of looking at time management. The article mentions a formula for motivation that I thought was a different way of looking at the struggles of starting a task. This article reaffirmed the importance of starting tasks on time, and with a plan.

The Second Article that I read was titled "Increase your creative output with 14 time management tips just for creatives". I'm not going to lie, I clicked on this one because it called out to me. I would consider myself a creative, and wanted to see another person's perspective on increasing efficiency in content creation. I did learn from this article more so than my first article; it mentions taking purposeful breaks and starting with the worst part of the task first. These are two things i believe would help not only in any creative process but with any long-winded task you may set out on.

  1. YES! The power of creativity! A big goal for me in this class is to get everybody to turn on their creativity... and you have already done that with your music! I hope this class will be a fun way for you to develop your creativity in new directions and to see what kind of work routines help with that. I'll be sharing different creativity resources in the daily announcements... and if you have ideas about stuff like that I can share, just let me know! :-)
