For me I chose to use Ranking Priorities in for problem solving. This type of strategy I have been using since high school just not in this detail and it works very well for me because I am busy with not only school but athletics. When I have commitments for lax and school I have to distinguish between what is IMPORTANT and what is NEEDED. I used this strategy in classes such as Womens and Gender studies and Earth Science. I liked this because I can rank things from most needed such as studying for a TEST all the way down to important things such as cleaning my room and keeping my place organized to have a good study environment. I also liked that it gave me a list of things and as I get the most needed done I can start working my way down the list to important things that will help me be successful. Before when I used this strategy I did not use the ABC concept I just had a list but I like how the book lays out the ABC and the numbers to go with it. It can really me with my organization of what is NEEDED vs IMPORTANT. Every sunday now I sit down and make one of these lists with ten or so things on it that I need to accomplish that week. For example this week, I had studying for my earth science test that is actually this week at the very top, this is the most important because it will currently affect me and I have no time to put it off. But things such as a rough draft for womens and gender studies was a little lower because that is not due for another week or so. Both need to get done in order for me to be a good student, but right now!......earth science is more important. This strategy is very helpful and I will continue to use it in the future!
I also chose this strategy and i like how he not only use this strategy for school but other priorities such as cleaning his room. I can tell he's not unfamiliar with this method because he's been using it for a while now and it helps him get his work done and manage his time in athletics
