Time Strategies


I like to consider myself an organized person. In order to remain organized, I live by my calendar. Specially, I use Outlook calendar since it is already attached to my OU email. My jobs require me to attend several meetings each week in addition to classes, office hours, etc. In order to stay organize, I try to plan out my entire day (and hopefully week) well in advance. I also remain flexible about changing and adding items to my calendar. I found the article titled: 11 Ways Unsuccessful People Mismanage Their Time, very interesting; luckily, I can say I do not do any of those 11 items. In addition to my calendar, I like to make daily checklists. Checklists help me to identify my goals for the day and act as means of accountability for me to accomplish what I have set out to. So, I also chose (and enjoyed) the article Psychology of Checklists.

Image
A women was walking home after a long with her two children, Adam and Lane.  The trek was long, treacherous, and tiresome.  Lane shouted, "Mom can we please take the shortcut!" As Natalie was already growing weary, she agreed. The shortcut was a slim, narrow passage through the deep forest. As they began down the small, narrow passage Adam began to worry. He said, “Mom, do you hear that?” Meanwhile, Lane was excited and began inching ahead of the others. At once, Lane stopped, frozen in his tracks and screamed, “BEAR!” Motherly instinct kicked in and Natalie ran to save her child. But Lane quickly realized something was not right. The bear—stricken with worry—asked for help.
