Week 4 Discussion
At the beginning of this course, I was not very well prepared for the workload this course was going to offer. The courses I took before this course went very smooth and I was very well-organized throughout the entire courses. However, after taking this course I found I am a little disorganized and felt I am not prepared well for the course. Reading and going through the College Writing Handbook, I feel I am better equipped to deal with the course responsibilities. I am proactive when it comes to course assignments and tasks and try to prepare beforehand to avoid any mismanagement at the end.
My time management technique is based on multi-tasking and planning of tasks using some time management techniques. Using planners is always a priority for me to keep me aligned with daily activities (Garten, 2018). This technique has helped me a lot in saving my time and saves me from any disaster. Though, I don’t get harsh on me and allow a bit of distraction sometimes. I am flexible when I do not have a lot of responsibilities on hand. I will also start using reminders along with the planners to keep me alert if I am missing something important. One more thing I do is distinguishing between urgent and important tasks and I am looking forward to using the same strategy.
This article provides some interesting findings and insight into chronic procrastinators. I was not familiar with this concept before (Ferrari, 2011). I am a procrastinator some times, but time management techniques I have used helped a lot in coping with it. So in my opinion, I have never been a chronic procrastinator based on how the author defined the concept. In addition, I hardly delay my responsibilities for irrational reasons, especially when the task is significant.
