I sat with my agenda and colored pens, which I similarly did every few days planning out what needed to get accomplished in the upcoming days. A round of weakness and pain consumed me, I shrugged it off. I associated it to

A sample of my work checklist is attached. The check list helps in tracking the tasks that I require to do. It made my day-to-day job easier and kept me in track. Also, another check list that list which is training checklist it involves tasks that I require to for each training conducted at work, it provides a guidelines of what should be done in order to get the necessary

Barry (2007) suggests that one can stay organized by keeping a calendar and a mastering a to-do list. I have gotten better about keeping my planner updated and looking at it every day. It unfortunately took me three years in college to finally get to this point. However, I’ve yet to master making and completing an actual daily to-do list. While I make a mental to-do list for the next day every night, I do think that it would be helpful to make one that I could visually see and hold. This would be helpful because I could refer to it during the day instead of wondering and guessing what I need to do next. I also need to improve the way that I can make people feel special. To make people feel special, and to let people know they are appreciated it is recommended that one should be writing and sending thank-you notes (Barry, 2007, p. 124). I have always been unsure of writing thank-you notes but I have since learned that building and maintaining strong relationships will require me to show my appreciation in many ways. These acts of appreciation are not only meant for bosses but for anyone who helps in my

For example, when writing a persuasive essay, the structure of the essay should be built on a compare-and-contrast style, so what I do is make a list. I put the points that I am arguing on one side of a paper, and the points that I will be refuting on the other side. Doing this during the brainstorming part of a persuasive essay is essential for me, it helps me get through the brainstorming stage quicker and helps me get my ideas down. Making a list also helps me understand what I will be talking about in the body paragraphs of my essay, and in what order I will talk about my argument and refutations. I also write a couple of sentences that are used as a placeholder for my

Focusing on one thing at a time and prioritizing is technique for clearing your mind. For example, writing down just 3 things that you have to do in a day will be far more motivating than bombarding yourself with a list of 50 things that you want to accomplish before next week. This will allow you to de-clutter your mind of the endless list of chores, must do's and have to do's that plagues us and act as a psychic

This week's class started out with a YouTube video titled, "You're in Charge." The video discussed time management. After discussing time management as a general subject, we learned about how time management is crucial for note taking. Some of the key factors for note taking involved relying on ourselves, not to lose focus, motivating ourselves to get our work done to the best of our abilities. Following these factors was goal setting. Goal setting can be either short-term, which takes zero-three months, mid-term, which takes about three-twelve months, or long term, which takes over than twelve months. Goal setting is important because in order to complete a task in a timely manner, an individual must commit themselves to completing said goal.

I reviewed the client’s writing strategies with the client before the intra-writing activity. I also added the strategy of using medical symbols to write. My client is a retired pharmacist and would often use symbols such as a c for with to represent words/phrases. I encouraged the use of this symbols to convey meaning during the writing process. I then made a strategy sheet that visualized the client’s strategies. In addition, the client and I created a pre-writing flow chart/bubble map to assist with content and organization. The flow chart/bubble map is a writing tool that had the topic in the middle bubble and surrounding bubbles contained adjectives and events relating to the main topic. My client demonstrated an increase in confidence following this cycle by a decrease amount of negative comments. In addition, my client had increased writing output by improved content generation and organization.

One list for everything is a big no-no, yet this is what some people tend to do. You can’t put tasks related to many different aspects of your life into one huge list and expect to get anything done. You don’t put everything into one drawer at home, do you; e.g. scissors, bananas, computer cables, cosmetics, navel fuzz, and baby products? Well, maybe some of you do? But you shouldn’t because it’s not very organized and if you did, you’d probably need a very big drawer. But you definitely shouldn’t do it with your to-do list! “There’s a place for everything and everything has a place,” someone once said. To be organized one should try to categorize and organize everything, that way we can uncultured our minds and start getting things done! Humans naturally categorize information in their minds, this might have something to do with the fact that we think

Don’t get me wrong I love a good list (grocery lists, to-do lists, playlists), and study after study shows that the brain responds well to them. Umberto Eco told The Atlantic the list “has an irresistible magic” and in cultural history has “prevailed over and over again.” Agreed.
