2nd try! The Science of Productivity by Lisa McDonald https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0 Respond with 2 ways you can apply "The Science of Productivity" toward meeting academic goals, including improving your ACT score.Then briefly (2-3 sentences) summarize the 2nd video you watched. en-us 2020-06-14 03:13:45 UTC 2025-11-02 01:13:50 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f5e3.png Improving my Academic Progress, Summarizing “How yo Learn Faster” https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/625482479 I can the ethics of getting started to help me with my act score as well as taking breaks in my learning to help me with my academic progress. The second video I watched ( “How to Learn Faster”) explained how to learn faster using various methods that could improve brain function. For instance you need to be hydrated, take breaks, use pen and paper, and modify the way you are learning slightly. All in all, there are many ways to learn material or an exercise faster if you apply methodical practices to your learning to increase brain function, which in turn helps you learn “things” faster.]]> 2020-06-14 04:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/625482479 Improving academic progress. https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/626079739 I think that simply getting started on your task can help improve your scoring because if you don't try, you never know if you will succeed. Also writing done what you have finished and giving yourself a deadline can help give you motivation to finish what you have started. Also you can track your progress. The second video that I watched was "The 9 best Scientific study tips." The video explains how it is better to study in small chunks, rather than taking on the full task at once. It also explains how highlighting certain details in a book takes your focus off of the task you wish to complete. On the other hand, things like flash cards, listening to music while studying, and other strategies can help you to retain information overall.]]> 2020-06-14 16:29:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/626079739 https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/626431616 What I can do to get a better score on my ACT is practice not necessarily longer but practice more deliberately. If I really focus on the one or two things that I struggle with when it comes to the ACT, then I will be better prepared and score higher. The second thing I could do to help me score better on the ACT is to create a "Tomarrow Action Plan." I could plan out exactly what I wanted to work on the next day, wake up, see the list, and get started. The second video I watched was "How to Break a Bad Habit." Basically in order to break a habit you have to first make note of what the cue is that sets of your habit. Secondly, you have to figure out what reward you receive from doing your habit. They you find something to do that replaces your bad habit, but results in the same reward. Gradually you will be able to replace your bad habit with something else. ]]> 2020-06-14 22:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/626431616 What I took away from both videos https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/626667880 Personally using lists and creating due dates help me. I could use these two things later on in life by making sure I am organized and that I use my time wisely especially when studying for the ACT and other test/projects. The second video I chose to watch was a video about how to learn things faster. It mainly talked about different ways to study and restore information in the brain. It also talked about the different test that scientists constructed to find which method would be better when remembering information. ]]> 2020-06-15 04:52:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/626667880 How "Science Of Productivity can help improve my academics https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/627464856 The "Science Of Productivity' videos helped me out a lot. One way I can help myself when I am achieving my academic goals, is to just simply apply what I have learned from the video and put it to good use. Also, another way of using these videos to help achieve my goals is to just practice these ideas into my work. I thoroughly believe that the second video I've watched could ultimately get where I need to be in school. The whole video explained how to make good grades in school by using nine helpful studying tips. These tips also gave thorough details of why they can be so helpful. Examples of this where using studies from different universities and behaviors of the students when taking test and exams.]]> 2020-06-15 14:43:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/627464856 https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/627486966 It is good to actually start studying for it so that itll be more likely for me to complete it. The second one is to manage your work by keeping a plan preferably with a deadline.
The second video I watched was on meditation. This video primarely disscused how meditating can help you have a stronger code of morales. They also explaind on how this could help with focousing the mind on specific subjects]]> 2020-06-15 14:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/627486966 Improving academic progress, Summarizing "9 Best Study tips" alysiamoore https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/627527246 Ways that I can improve my progress is by writing down what I have to do. I find that when I do this , I feel less anxious about what I have to do. Also setting a deadline would help because this pushes me to get the assignment done in a certain amount of time. The second video I watched was " The 9 Best Scientific Study Tips." The video explained many different ways to study, including listening to classical music or no music at all. Some other tips were to study in small chunks instead of long extensive study sessions. Also you should not pull all nighters to study. This typically leads to lower test scores.]]> 2020-06-15 15:18:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/627527246 https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/627543107 From "The Science of Productivity" video the two methods that I could apply to my academic goals would be getting started as to further encourage me to finish the task at hand. The second method being taking increment of time to do the work with breaks as well, therefore this method could be directed towards projects or simply studying for the ACT or other tests.

In the second video that I watched, "How Much Sleep Do You Actually Need?" it first shows a study of how long three people each slept. The person who slept the most amount of time had normal brain functions while the others who slept shorter had more and more issues as the time was shorter. The video eventually concluded that the overall time of how long is healthy for yourself to sleep is ultimately your own brain's decision.]]> 2020-06-15 15:28:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/627543107 Improving Academic Progress, Summarizing "Early Birds Vs. Night Owls" https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/627910781 In the first video, the tip that would help me the most is the first one. I am one to procrastinate until I make myself do them. I always get things done on time, but not as soon as I would like. Another tip mentioned to help with this would be to create a deadline, this would force me to get active and start the project. 

As for the other video I watched, I learned to pro's and con's of night owls and early birds. I tend to get the best work done in the morning, but am not very good at getting up early. The video talked about how night owls and early birds both get things done, with their differences. ]]> 2020-06-15 19:56:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/627910781 Improving Academic Productivity jalynnspell https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/627920672 In the first video it tells you a lot of different ways to be productive while getting your work done, and ways to make productivity easier. One way that would help me improve my working skills, is to not think about how hard the work might be to you, or how you really don't want to do it, and to actually start the work. Starting it, rather than thinking about it would help me a ton because I would be getting all of the work over with and done for, rater tha thinking about it forever. 

In the second video it talks about a gives you helpful tips to study, such as to listen to classical music, study small chunks rather than long sections at a time, and to not pull all nighters to study, you might have a possibility of not remembering what you've studied, and it might also lower your test scores.]]> 2020-06-15 20:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/627920672 https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/627944326 Simply starting your task and making a mental checklist of the things that you need to accomplish during your ACT to improve your score overall would be most effective for me personally. The reason why i say this is for you to know what you need to do and have a motivation to finish what you started so that you can finish your list. 

In the second video Classical music would help because for me it would calm my nerves about it so that you could raise your test scores. Short breaks would also help so that your not so tired from doing it all at once that you can't think straight and so you can remember what you have learned and studied.]]> 2020-06-15 20:28:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/627944326 kaitlynstrickland https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/629303760 “The science of productivity” is a video that illustrates how we can improve our Act score while meeting our  academic goals. Being productive means having a task and starting on it right away, but you can also adjust your productivity with timed breaks which give your brain time to rest enough so you can your complete  assignments. “The Science of Motivation” is the second video I watched in which contain information about how we are more motivated to complete a task if  we enjoy it. It explains how our work efforts decrease when we’re not engaged in the task because we’re worried about a prize or not getting a prize. Motivation is about wanting to do something based on our ability to know we can do it rather than just doing it to get something out of it. ]]> 2020-06-16 17:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/629303760 Productivity https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/629407946 To be more productive, I will spilt it up my time in sections to be more focused on the task at hand. Forcing myself to get started on the assignment. 

The second video I watched was based off how the phone is changing us. Phones provide many benefits, but also can be a disturbance. ]]> 2020-06-16 18:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/629407946 https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/629555280 In the first video the tip that would help me the most would be to not multitask. I multitask a lot and when i do i tend to forget something. In the video it says that multitaskers are less productive and should make a list. Also another tip would to give myself a deadline. When i have goals to reach i tend to do better and be more productive. 

The second video i watched was “The 9 BEST Scientific Study Tips”. The video gave different tips on how to study. For example, the video explains how study sessions are more effective when done in short chunks instead of all at once.

Two ways that help me personally the most are writing down a list in order of the things I need to get done that day or for the week. This will help me by getting rid of all the anxiety of not knowing exactly what to do next, having everything out of order or not getting everything I need to do done makes me very anxious. By getting anxious it makes it harder to do what needs to be done. Second, I could make a deadline, the deadline will force me to get done with the tasks that I need to do. By doing this I could get more done during the week because I will be forcing myself to get things done on time, I will possibly have more time to do what I want to do. I could get done with everything early and have more free time. With doing these two ways I could have less anxiety, get things done in time, have more free time, and just be a happier person without stressing over things I need to do.


Studying can be a tough process to do, I struggle a lot because I have ADD, I get distracted very easily and pretty much forget everything I studied because I stay up looking at my notes because I can’t concentrate. So the video I watched gave me very helpful advice in what to do. First I could study in smaller sections, instead of studying in large amounts I could look at smaller sections, allowing my brain process everything. Second I could take small breaks, your brain needs to rest or it won’t take in everything you are trying to put into it, taking breaks will let my brain refresh so I can remember everything I studied. Last but not least, stop pulling all nighters, I struggle with this but with the work of the other two ways to help me I could accomplish studying in a good amount of time, allowing me to have a good nights rest and still get all my studies done. The video helped me a lot, I realize now what will help me and what I was doing wrong, now from this point forward I know exactly what to do to help me study.]]> 2020-06-18 02:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/631474310 https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/632156192 Far as meeting my academic goals & improving my ACT score the best methods that could possible help me would be planning out what I have to do with deadlines. And not thinking about how hard it'll be to complete because then i'll be less motivated to do it. These would be my best options because if I can look at what I have to do & know when I need to get it done that'll organize me more, I'll be less likely to forget anything, & I should be able to get it done in a timely manner. And not thinking of how hard the task will be will also give me more motivation to do it. 

The second video I watched was "The science of motivation", about how the amount of motivation affects our performance. For say if we have a reward the individual is more likely to do better than individuals without a reward. ]]> 2020-06-18 13:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/632156192 https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/632903316 ways that i can use the tips of that video towards meeting my academic goals is to break my project/work down to make it easier for me to start and make progress. the second thing i can do is break down my work to fit in breaks instead of just purely working continuously without a break. the second video that i watched was "The 9 BEST Scientific Study Tips" which was primarily about ways that you can study smarter and in quicker ways. in the video, they recommend that you spend a limited amount of time studying rather than studying all night. they also say that you should spend time practicing your material - like using flashcards and explaining your material to others. you should put away all distractions like your phone or electronics. ]]> 2020-06-19 00:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/632903316 https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/633040587 Making sure to break off work into smaller bits will help. As well as practicing our work deliberately. Focusing in on the two main points I'm the worst at instead of all four according to the ACT would help break it down into smaller bits. The video I watched after was about being tired. It gaves reasons as to why you might be feeling tired and ways to fix them. One example said not to drink caffine 6 hours before bedtime.

The second video I watched was about the best ways to stay motivated. The video went through several scenarios of 2 types of people doing the same task in order to discuss the mindset and reasons behind the one who is motivated and the one who isn't.]]> 2020-06-19 04:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/633095915 I procrastinate things and don't even start things till the last second, if I would set up a due date that isn't the day of a test then I would have more motivation to actually start something days, weeks, or even a month before that knowledge is even needed. https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/633883027 If I need to get multiple things done then you could spend one night focusing on lets say math while on another night you focus on science. No multitasking, just giving complete focus on one thing. This method increases productivity.

The second vid. I watched was about the science of motivation. It showed have money or rewards can create a positive and negative result depending on the type of task, and if the reward is big or small also can change the result as well. Doing something you like is more important in your goals since you will mostly likely stick with it and you blind optimism in some always the best mindset. ]]> 2020-06-19 18:27:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/633883027 Improving my academic progress https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/637753306 I can improve my progress by sticking to what I need to do instead of procrastinate and do it at the last minute. In the video "The Science of Productivity" talks about getting started on something and actually get into what you are doing. It also says that you should have time management so you should take breaks in between. Also giving yourself a deadline is most important in this video. ]]> 2020-06-23 17:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lisamcdonald/rherjgr2clh5g0g0/wish/637753306
