I am bad about procrastinating and leaving the most stressful things on my to-do list for last, instead choosing to knock off the fun items I need to do. This especially starts to hurt me in classes when midterms hit. So, I'm planning on trying to work ahead at least a week before classes pick up. I also want to do some extra credit at the beginning of each week. Ideally, I'd like to finish this class early, but if I work ahead and need that time later at least I'll still be on track rather than behind.
I read The Myth of Too Busy by Tim Grahl and Time Management Tips Just For Creatives by Amanda Oliver. For The Myth of Too Busy, I thought overall the message of prioritization was helpful. However, the author had an anti-social-media theme throughout the article, which wouldn't work for my life since my job is to run social media accounts. The Creative Time Management article was much more my speed. The tip about managing your energy as much as your time is something I had never thought about but need to implement, as I've seen myself get burnt out in past semesters.
