This weekend I was feeling very stressed out with my work load so when I sat down to read the problem solving chapter for CLS, I was grateful for the topic. In CLS, I have many things to do each week and sometimes it gets hard to manage everything, so I used ranking priorities to help me organize my thoughts. I first, got out my syllabus and looked over everything that needed to be accomplished for this Monday, and listed that. Then I slowly started checking off what I had done already, and what still needed to be finished. This strategy helped me feel more organized, because I got all the thoughts in my head out on paper so I could see what I needed to do. Rather then trying and worry about a bunch of assignments all in my head.
Hi Natalie!! I like how you highlighted the rankings of your tasks. As somewhat of a visual learner I think highlighting helps me to get things done. You may want to consider listing your A's and B's in separate columns to make it clearer what needs to be done.
ReplyDeleteNatalie, I'm glad this strategy helped you out this weekend. I was also feeling a little overwhelmed with the work that I needed to accomplish. This helped me out too. Great work, keep it up.
ReplyDeleteI am also a visual learner and found that adding a "finished" column really helped me because once I had completed a task I could just check it off. It helped me distinguish what I had finished and what needed to be done.
