The two strategies I used this week were 10 minute technique and time wasters. I used time wasters for all the major assignments I had due this week and I used 10 minute technique for my PHI 192 paper. I used these two strategies so I could help myself stay focused and on task. They helped me recognize the ways I'm not using my time effectively. I used 10 minute technique for my PHI 192 paper because i usually have trouble sitting down for a long period of time and writing a paper. 10 minute technique helped me because I could sit down and write for 10 minutes only and after that 10 minutes was up i could take a quick break and do other work. Then I would go back to it after i took a break or got other things done. I wouldn't only sit down for 10 minutes, sometimes 10 minutes turned into a half an hour. If you are on a roll don't stop after 10 minutes. But if you are struggling to write after the 10 minutes is up then its time for a break. For the time wasters strategy, I used it for all of my major assignments. I used it for my PHI paper, my ECN test, and this tech assignment. This strategy helped me because I was able to recognize the things that are distracting me and keeping me from getting my work done. By making a chart with distractions in the left column and the task I'm avoiding in the right column it pushed me away from the things in the left hand side allowing me to get my work done. There were still some distractions just not as bad as usual. It really helped me manage my time a little better since I wasn't getting distracted so often.
