My two favorite tips are:
- Break you goal into small pieces. For example, if I have a long essay due next week, I can set deadlines for parts of the essay throughout the week (first page done by today, the second page done by tomorrow, etc.).
- Reward progress. I'm a simple person; if I'm promised a reward, I work harder. If promising myself that I'll have a cookie after I'm done with this Padlet is what it takes to motivate me to get it done, I'll get it done, darn it.

I consider myself something of a master at finishing work with an inordinate amount of distractions. The times when I do get work done with relatively few distractions are when I hold off on a task until the absolute last minute. Thomas Frank describes a way to stop procrastinating that I'll definitely try in the future. In the Pomodoro technique, you find something to work on, work as hard as you can on it for 25 minutes, and write down any distractions you have on a notepad. When the timer's up, you can take a 5-minute break. You repeat this cycle three more times. This method seems like it would work pretty well with me, so I'm going to try it with my next assignment.]]> 2017-09-28 19:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelmelnotte/78eh0gsg6gh8/wish/192253589 Daily Planner Tips rachelmelnotte https://padlet.com/rachelmelnotte/78eh0gsg6gh8/wish/192254014 This article provides some more helpful tips on how to perfect your daily planner. My two favorite tips are:
- Set aside a few minutes each day to write down what you need to get done on your planner. It can be during breakfast or right before you go to bed.
- Keep your planner with you at all time. You never know when you'll need to write down a new assignment you need to finish.

We've all had moments where we hold off on being productive because we're "too busy," even when we're not doing anything worthwhile. Frank provides a solution to this problem by suggesting that we form a schedule for each day. We should also include when we'll get those tasks done; it's important to account for time spent working out unexpected issues as well. I chose this video because, to be frank (heh), I don't plan out my day. I work on whatever I need when it suits me, and this leads to heavy procrastinating. Heck, it took me a considerable amount of time and willpower just to motivate myself to finish this Padlet today. If I'd planned out my day, however, I would probably be done with this assignment by now. Daily planning will be useful to me, especially as my workload gets bigger throughout the year.]]> 2017-09-28 19:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelmelnotte/78eh0gsg6gh8/wish/192254698 5 Ways to Build Focus and Concentration rachelmelnotte https://padlet.com/rachelmelnotte/78eh0gsg6gh8/wish/192258485 I have a problem with focusing on my work. Even while working on this Padlet, I've probably gone over to other websites at least three times. That's why this Thomas Frank video is important to me. Frank talks about different ways you can remove yourself of distractions; one of them is by writing them down on a notepad (see the Pomodoro technique), and another one- my favorite- is using an app called Forest. Forest sets a timer for half an hour, and it will grow a tree if you leave your phone alone. If you touch our phone, the tree dies and you fail. The point of methods like these is to provide you with instant gratification (which I always appreciate), as well as externalizing your distractions so you can focus on what needs to be done. The sooner they get out of your head, the more work you can get done. I'm going to try some of the methods he recommended next time.]]> 2017-09-28 19:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelmelnotte/78eh0gsg6gh8/wish/192258485 How to Manage your time? s9262957 https://padlet.com/rachelmelnotte/78eh0gsg6gh8/wish/1532323065 Something I do to manage my time is by writing the the stuff that I have to do to save so time ]]> 2021-05-17 17:20:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelmelnotte/78eh0gsg6gh8/wish/1532323065
