https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil This week you will create a Padlet with 3 videos from the College Info Geek youtube channel you think are helpful. Here is a playlist (Links to an external site.)of the videos I think are most useful, but he has many others. en-us 2021-09-09 02:16:09 UTC 2021-09-10 18:59:58 UTC hello@padlet.com carltonhazle https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1726655523 2021-09-09 02:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1726655523 carltonhazle https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1726657679 2021-09-09 02:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1726657679 carltonhazle https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1726659979 2021-09-09 02:24:21 UTC https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1726659979 carltonhazle https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1726725361 treat classes like real classes/ typically prepared asynchronously, easy to fall behind if not self disciplined. NO STRUCTURE, dedicated workspace for yourself, recurring events for classes on calendar, keep up your routine
keep up w to do list/ as task as soon as you get them, memories tied to location so o more unique location information, 
Get digitally organized/ folders for certain classes, further breakdown for big projects in class, notebook for each class, 
Find a way to break up your day/ get outside, switch locations during the day, stops learning time from feeling like blob
Virtual Study Group/ pair up with other people to study, decreases isolation,

intention eclipse abilities
limit to what you can do, observe what you fail and plan, scheduled small chunks/time-boxing put tasks in small time boxes (avoid procrastination?)Most difficult tasks FIRST, strong ordered plans
actions need to be backed by long term plan
Kanban method-cards details about individual task, list stages of project, move cards through different stages gives Birdseye view
Different lists, Daily everyday lists, ongoing lists that need to be done, things that are able to stay back to be done in future, scheduled items that happen every once and a while

Rule of three-choose no more than 3 meaningful tasks per day
Eliminate Distractions-easily distracted when doing higher concept work, any excuse to fixate on small stuff, novelty bias-drawn to new things, AIDA- attention, interest, desire, action
ensure you aren't exposed to distraction, remove BEFORE working
4 categories, No Control, Control, Annoying, Fun
Moving phone out of arms reach, disconnect from internet when not needed, NO form of messengers open while you work (social pressure of answering) inconvenience of thing makes less likely to do it
Distraction journal to note and learn how to work around distractions
Get rid of resistance to starting- momentum of doing it keeps you going, make task less daunting/ narrow scope of intention
commit to working to a certain amount of time, low enough to make it seem easier]]> 2021-09-09 03:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1726774183 carltonhazle https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1726837049 2021-09-09 03:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1726837049 carltonhazle https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1726839980 2021-09-09 03:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1726839980 carltonhazle https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1726913877 I chose this article and most of the other ones in the padlet as I feel it is not only very difficult to balance working at home with other around the house responsibilities, but its also difficult to know what to do in an online situation. Without a clear structure its up to the student to figure out what works best for them and the ambiguity of that can be off-putting for most (including myself) and having a concrete place to start can take away those fears. The strategies discussed talk about how to remove distractions and practice time management, but more importantly it talks about how to take advantage of an online class. Simple actions such as reaching out and collaborating with peers, actively participating in discussion boards, and building a relationship with your teachers all lead to a better experience and are harder online, but can offer extremely beneficial results to a students time. ]]> 2021-09-09 04:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1726913877 carltonhazle https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1726963779 I chose this video as online classes pose as a problem to me in recent time, scathing by to get assignment's in and turning some in late after not properly managing time.  Pairing this with not being able to focus on assignments long enough to get them done its been a struggle to survive in online class, and that's what this video strives to solve. All five of the tips provided are extremely helpful and I advise everyone to take them, but the ones that I feel will especially help me are treating online class like real school and moving locations throughout the day. Oftentimes my online day starts at whatever random time I wake up, and I do the assignment that is due that day for a class. This unorganized cramping is a stressful habit that I have built for myself and blocking my work day into segments so that I work on work for every class simultaneously will definitely give me more free time and less stress. The other tip that I feel will help me greatly is moving to different spaces for each class. Being at the same desk everyday, all day, for every class makes the days meld into one blob. A key benefit of in person school is memories tied to specific locations for each class and can try and emulate this at home by doing something as simple as moving to different rooms for each class. Overall the advice in this video can clearly be utilized to take control of your online classes and not get overwhelmed.

The slightest thing will set me so far off course and I will have fruitless days because of it. I agree with mostly all of the advice given in the video but the two I believe will truly help me are setting an intention and eliminating distractions. When sitting down to do long laborious tasks the gratification of completion is not in quick succession, making the work feel never ending and prompting you to do something else to get such gratification. Preventing yourself from checking emails, small assignments such as castle learning, or other small assignments that still count can help you stay focused on larger more important ones way easier. the other piece of advice that I believe will really help is eliminating distractions way before you work. Of course you cant control certain distractions like loud traffic outside or the actions of others around you, but you can control distractions such as your phone, distracting websites, and music. Simple things like placing your phone out of arms reach, restricting certain websites at time of work, and taking care of any busywork before hand will make sure all you have to care about is the task at hand and you can stay focused. Overall I feel like all the advice in the video will definitely help me and others who struggle with a short attention span. ]]> 2021-09-10 18:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1731617208 carltonhazle https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1731681616 I chose this video as it focusses on the possible increased level of productivity that working from home can offer a student or traditional worker. At home there is much more freedom in when and how you complete most assignments however deadlines are still present. This video is extremely useful in instructing someone on how to use their time to their advantage and tips such as daily lists, time blocking, and multiple lists running are key to this. Using a four lists system of tasks that need to be done everyday, ongoing tasks with upcoming dates, longer tasks broken up and due at a later date, and scheduled tasks can help reclaim your workload. Daily tasks are things such as attendance and checking emails should be checked off everyday on the daily list before moving on. The ongoing tasks would be things such as assignments due in the next week, and the long tasks would be something like an upcoming project. Another useful organization method is the Kanban method where cards are moved through categories of production, letting you know at a glance what's done and what needs to be worked on. Overall lists and organization are the way to planning a work day and sticking to the plan and that is extremely helpful to know.]]> 2021-09-10 18:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1731681616 carltonhazle https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1731705819 As preciously discussed focus at home is imperative to completing schoolwork efficiently and there is obviously more methods to enhance that then the handful mentioned in the video. Simple tips such as locking social media apps and making sure you're properly fed through out a work session are good ideas and often overlooked. The article highlights these seemingly trivial things that can definitely make a difference on learning. ]]> 2021-09-10 18:59:58 UTC https://padlet.com/carltonhazle/ne7sgr33u9y50bil/wish/1731705819
