Quit wasting you TIME!!!

The two strategies that I used this week were the Time Wasters and the 10- Minute Technique. I chose to use the Time Waster, because I always find myself doing other things when I should be doing my work. The Time Waster can be used for all of my classes so it will help me stay on task. I made two columns and on the left side I put down all the things that distract me from doing my work and on the right I put down how I can avoid those distractions. When I did this, it showed me that I really need to find a way to not get distracted so easily. For the 10-Minute Technique I used it for my MAT121 and BIO121 classes, because I have exams coming up. This technique really helped me stay focused, because I was only looking at the information for 10 minutes at a time. I get distracted very easily and sometimes even get bored with the information that I have to read. I would do some math problems for 10 minutes then go to bio flash cards and if I was on a roll then I would keep going even if I exceeded the 10 minutes. I really liked using these two strategies because it helped me realized the things that I need to change and helped me stay focused while studying.

  2. I have a BIO 121 exam too. I think the 10 minute strategy would be a great way to study for that exam.
