Time Strategies Organization

This is the last blog post of Week 1! Looking back, I enjoyed all of the assignments I did! For this assignment, I read Four Questions to Help You Overcome Procrastination by Peter Banerjea and 11 Ways Unsuccessful People Mismanage Their Time by Áine Cain. When it comes to time management, I burn myself out and that leads to procrastination. Until the task is done, I am constantly worrying and stressing about it. So, I try to complete as much as I can at once. After reading both articles, I realized that was the problem. I juggle too much. I need to set goals one day at a time and spread out tasks throughout the week to be the most productive. From the first article, the author provided 4 questions to motivate a productive work habit. These two questions were helpful to me: "What one thing can I do to get started?" and "How can I make this easier?" I will definitely try to manage my tasks throughout the week and make things easier by doing a little everyday. As all my classes this semester require large amounts of reading and studying, I hope I won't overwhelm myself. I hope my new time management strategy works for me this semester!

I am majoring in Biology with the hopes of becoming a Physician Assistant.  I choose Biology as my major especially because of its versatility and because of my interest in the sciences.

Becoming a Physician Assistant is my goal, but I am still hesitant and unsure. As you can see, I am indecisive. Although this is the case, I am a very diligent student once I set my mind to something. This last year I was able to maintain a 4.0 GPA and obtain junior standing! In my free time, I love watching movies and sleeping! Netflix is something I am always on. My favorite shows right now are Grey's Anatomy, How to Get Away with Murder, and Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj. This summer, I was able to do both - watch movies and sleep! My family and I also went to Texas, Arkansas, a

Week 7 Story: The Rice and The Man

Image
( The Broken Pot by John D. Batten) The updated version of the story is here on my Portfolio! In a small village in Gujarat, India, there lived a man named Vittap. His name evidently signified his behavior; he guarded his wealth closely.  One day, Vittap had gathered a surplus amount of rice grains from working in his neighbor's fields and begging in the village. Growing rice was no easy task. After eating the rice that same evening, Vittap put the remaining rice in a pot. The pot was hung over his couch so that he could bathe in its glory.  As Vittap became drowsy, he dreamed about his future with the rice. He thought, "My beautiful rice. Oh, how beautiful! If there is a famine, I will always have my rice. Wait, can the rice not make me some profit?" "I can buy a few goats with the rice and eventually have a family of goats!" "I can then sell the goats, and get a couple of cows!" "I can then sell cow milk and purc
