For my 2nd blog I chose to do Ranking Priorities. I felt like this was an effective way to know what you have to do during the busy week, not only for your schoolwork but to keep a heads up on when your meetings are and other little things that you cannot forget to do. I did this strategy for basically all my classes and things outside of school. I knew I had a big CFS paper due this week and an Earth Science test so those were my top two biggest things to take care of this week. I also have been struggling in my Religion 244 class, so I decided that I should sign up for a tutor this week.
A few weeks ago I set up a meeting with my advisor in human ecology. So this a good reminder for me that I have a meeting this Tuesday at 11 because they don't send out an e-mail or call you to remind you. The other day I ran out of my aderrall, which is key for me to stay focused and on top of my assignments, so I have to be sure get a new subscription. And the last two things were to re-write my history notes so they stay fresh in my mind and to find a time during the day to laundry.
I hope to keep this up on my wall so I see it every morning and before I go to bed so it stays fresh in my mind. I also need to make sure I make a new one each week because this is a great way to stay up with all my assignments and stuff outside of school that I need to get accomplished.
I feel like Pat and I both use this effectively. I use it for the same reasons he does, because it lays out a plan and it will keep you organized. He did his chart a little different then mine, but I like the way he did his more, he did his in terms of A,B and C, and I did mine in more a list format. Either way, I feel like this strategy is effective for both of us and will continue to help us throughout college.
