While the Christmas holidays are slowly appearing on the horizon and some guys already think about Xmas wish lists, institute lecturers are trying to close all the assignment and material gaps in the outlines to go on the holidays preparing for the semester exams. Unfortunately, time aspect plays a great role in this situation, because of this it’s appeared the first time I’ve started using reminders and manage timing more properly, so I won’t forget anything.
Before, I was quite amazed, why people do all this timing, since everything can be managed without external software help. I was bloody wrong, when bunches of things start overwhelming me and I could get focused on finishing at least one thing and go for another one.
- Make visible notes
Notes? Remarkable? The easiest and more convenient way - stickers.For this approach, I’ve started using Google Calendar to synchronize all the things . I started to write down daily routines I need to finish up on these gaudy pieces of paper - it helped. Of course if they were attached to most visited places in my room. Yep, now the monitor looks like a Christmas tree! Duplicating have to be done during the week: taking notes for a day is great, unless you have to do anything tomorrow.
- Manage your time properly.
For a person like me - easily carried away with interesting things I can find on the Web, good timing became a real headache. The simplest remedy for this decease - reminders. I mean, it’s hard to imagine a person nowadays without a cell phone - use built-in reminders and calendars. Also try to install an alarm clock on your computer, I personally use Citrus Clock : simple, and it does his thing, what else do you need?
- Round Robin algorithm for live
When you emphasis on the things you couldn’t finish on time, try to complete them later, and don’t go out from the schedule. Take a small break, otherwise, by the end of the day you won’t be able to process anything, at all!
- Be realistic when you make schedules
Taking in account a lot of things to do, keep in mind, that you better have breaks after changing your work. 5, 10, 15 minute breaks - you should know better then me, how long you need to get relaxed and proceed with something else.
- Sleep factor
Get rid off this illusion, that you can simply don’t sleep, and you’ll catch up everything. In few days of non-sleeping, you’ll act like somnambulist: no reflections, slow reaction, in other words, dump piece of meat.
Five simple statements, which helped me a lot, how do you try to organize yourself, if you do of course
